An Arizona state judge ruled Thursday that Democrat Kris Mayes defeated GOP candidate Abe Hamadeh in Arizona’s attorney general’s race after a mandatory recount was held.
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Timothy Thomason on Thursday revealed that Mayes defeated Hamadeh by about 280 votes out of about 2.5 million votes cast. The recount shows that Hamadeh cut into Mayes’s vote-total by about 200 votes; after Nov. 8 election data had shown that Mayes led by about 511 votes.
