PHOENIX - Democrat Katie Hobbs increased her small lead in the race for governor Wednesday night against Republican Kari Lake as the latest batch of votes to be counted from the state's two largest counties broke in her favor.
The latest figures showed Hobbs now with a lead of about 13,000 of the nearly 1.9 million votes already tallied.
The race, however, is far from over.
Maricopa County reported it still has between 400,000 and 410,000 ballots yet to be counted, processed and tabulated. There are another 160,000 in Pima County
How those votes break will determine who succeeds Gov. Doug Ducey on Jan. 3.
And if the final margin turns out to be less than one-half a percentage point, that triggers an automatic recount which would not occur until December.
