Everyone, if you're on NYT look at GA-7.

LOOK AT THIS DOOD FOR NM-2

Worth noting that AZ-9 is a high turnout white liberal district. That could mean the Secretary of State race is not decided yet as this is Katie Hobbs’ home seat too

I think an argument is to be made that the SOS race is the more up-in-the-air race at this point. Which matters because it would disincentivize Ducey from going for Senate in 2020 if Hobbs is SOS

I mean both candidates in the SOS race haven't given up/declared victory, so I do think they recognize it's still a race as well.  Hopefully Maricopa goes big for them and they pull it out.

AZ-SOS is gonna flip Dem if the votes keep going like this, that'd be great news for AZ Dems and National Dems for 2020 and beyond.
