Just released tallies indicate the race is tightening - Hobbs is only 19K ahead of Lake.
Megyn Kelly indicated today that these votes that are now being counted - which are paper ballots dropped off at polling locations, will likely favor Lake.
Squeaky tight.
Edited to add:
Oh wait, it's now 27K between them, Hobb is gaining significantly.

Hobbs is not going to win. Those last batches of votes yet to be counted (Maricopa County) will favor Lake.

I'm not sure about that. What's left to be counted, largely, are the mail in votes that came in on Election Day. In 2018 those were largely democrat, in 2020 (covid) they were largely republican.
At about 67K votes counted per day, this will still take awhile as these votes require signature authentication to be processed. Very slow procedure, but careful.
I like the press conference. Even handed, level headed, and the last guy - doesn't he own a hairbrush? Looks like Prince Harry on a very, very bad day.

I personally cannot stand the Phoenix local media. Many of these people have worked personally with Kari Lake and have done everything they can to throw her under the bus. I don't blame her for calling them out the way she does. A majority of them act and sound like a bunch of automatons and are not real journalists.
In Harris County, where I live, I can vote at any voting location, and there are 99 locations for early voting and 782 for election day. I do not have to vote at my specific precinct. The votes are all counted at a central location, and the precinct totals calculated there.. Any voting machines used in early voting cannot be used on election day.
Harris County is large, over 1500 square miles, and is 60 miles wide. We are not going to give up the convenience of voting anywhere in the County.
If someone is watching the video, there will not be an increment when the undervote race is counted, and the observer will ask why that ballot was skipped.
It's not a good idea to ever transport ballots from one location to another. Just adds another factor that can have a glitch.
I consider cast ballots almost sacred. The best scenario would be to have voters drop ballots into ONE transparent box, and then tally them one at a time at the precinct, all on camera. I would make it ILLEGAL for anyone to touch or transport a ballot after it's cast into that box except the one person who tallies them. This person would remove one ballot out of the box, tally it on camera, and place it into a storage box. Or if using machine the same thing. All captured on one non-stop video. So that proof of tally accuracy is on video. Any tally error will also be on video.
In your case the ballots are all transported to a central location and tallied there. Just do the same at the counting center and tally one at a time on camera, as if at the precinct. There is no reason I can think of not to video ballot casting, tallying, etc.
Undervotes can be tallied too on camera. Add those as well. Using a ballot machine to tally is ok IF each ballot is displayed as it's tallied, on camera.
