Mayes ekes out win over Hamadeh in Arizona AG race

Final victory pending recount, certification

PHOENIX — Democrat Kris Mayes will be the next attorney general of Arizona.

A final tally of all votes showed that Mayes, a former Republican member of the Arizona Corporation Commission, outpolled GOP foe Abe Hamadeh by 510 votes out of more than 2.5 million ballots for that race.

The race is headed for an automatic recount. That is required under state law if the margin of victory is less than one-half of one percent of all the votes cast in that race.
