Quick caveat that there are other SIX counties in total that have a hand in administering this election. But Pima is by far the biggest (home to ~two thirds of registered Dems) & things are running smoothly there today.

Some Election Night expectations in #AZ07…Polls close at 7pm. First ballot drop at 8pm/11pm ET. These will be the early ballots. After that they’ll count Election Day ballots, am told turnout is low. Pima County, nucleus of the district, expects this thing to wrap tonight.

Some people have asked me if I think Deja Foxx or Daniel Hernandez can win in #AZ07 My best answer is that big spenders aren't acting like it. 94% of negative outside $ has targeted Grijalva. Not what you'd expect to see in a close race. Here's FEC data as of 7.14
