[VIDEO] While I haven't kept up with this particular race, I know that Hobbs' Republican opponent former news anchor Kari Lake is a bit of a firebrand. She was sure she'd win this race and it's out there that Hobbs - who also doubles as AZ Secretary of State and oversees elections there - wouldn't debate Lake. Seeing Lake in action with TV interviews it's entirely possible she'd wipe the floor with Hobbs and perhaps Hobbs knew it with her excuses to not debate.
I hope Lake won't take this sitting down and will file lawsuits and I understand that in a very close election in Arizona a recount is automatic. Here's how automatic a recount occurs
Automatic recounts are required if a candidate or measure is defeated by less than or equal to 0.5% of the total votes cast.
As far as the tally that allegedly put Hobbs over the edge as of last nite

Of course we could ask the question why did it take over a year to count the votes. Hobbs as the overseer of elections in Arizona may have done such a bangup job not only this year but in 2020 also as this was one of the disputed states in that wild Presidential race. Owing to the coronavirus emergency we get the idea of mail-in voting, and perhaps we get these voting supersites that might contribute to why it's difficult to count votes in places like Arizona.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is the ongoing trend if American voters start to think that there votes no longer matter if the means is there for one party or the other to cheat.
