Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs warned against early calls for races as the state continued to count a large number of ballots.

“I was 44,000 votes down and now I’m secretary of state. That took 10 days,” Hobbs, a Democrat, told KTAR News on Wednesday morning, citing her own election victory.
