An earlier version of this story inaccurately reported that the current recorded results in the Arizona gubernatorial race between Katie Hobbs and Kari Lake were "notably close" to "test" results of that race accidentally aired last month on Arizona's Fox 10 news station. The actual results, however, are not especialy close to those dummy results.

As of 8:04 p.m. on Nov. 15, Hobbs was leading Lake in the actual race by 50.35% to 49.65%, with an estimated 98% of the vote counted, according to Decision Desk HQ. In the test result, by contrast, Hobbs led Lake by 53% to 47%.

We regret the error.
