Rep. Andy Biggs sees path for top GOP candidates in Arizona to win with late ballots

The statewide GOP candidates in Arizona began Election Night down by double digits, but veteran Rep. Andy Biggs said Wednesday afternoon there is a path for the entire slate to win as late-cast ballots are breaking red.

Biggs told Just the News that he believed by Thursday that GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake would take over the lead, much like she did during the primaries, as ballots cast in the final 24 hours of the election have been trending overwhelmingly Republican.

"There might be as many as 700,000, somewhere at least a half a million ballots left. And what that means is, because all of the late breaks, and these are late, these are day of voters, these are people who dropped off ballots. I mean, they're the late voters, all of the late nreral is to the right. It's all to Republicans," he said.

As for Lake, Biggs said: "I think with the next dump, she's going to be ahead by the end of the day for sure."

He said he was also increasingly hopeful for GOP Senate candidate Blake Masters, Attorney General nominee Abe Hamadeh and Secretary of State candidate Mark Finchem,

As of 5 p.m. ET Wednesday, Lake was trailing Democrat Katie Hobbs by less than 1% while Democrat Sen. Mark Kelley's lead over Masters had shrunk to five. Democrats were leading both races by double digits early Wednesday morning.
