Voters in Arizona went to the polls on Tuesday (or earlier) and RedState is streaming the election results live here.
Polls closed at 7 p.m. Arizona time (10 p.m. Eastern time), and the first results will be released at 8 p.m. We’re expected to get about 80 percent of the vote within an hour of that, and another 10 percent the next day.
The most closely watched race will be the Republican primary for U.S. Senate, where Kari Lake and Sheriff Mark Lamb are the frontrunners to take on Ruben Gallego. Polls are clearly in favor of Lake, who is endorsed by President Trump, although Lamb is also firmly on Trump’s side.
On the House side, there are some contentious Republican primaries with massive names and expressions of support.
In AZ-02, incumbent Rep. Eli Crane faces a challenge from Kevin McCarthy-backed Jack Smith, though Smith is not expected to pose much of a threat. Smith has raised only $84,000, compared to Crane’s $5.4 million, and Crane has been very popular with Republican voters recently due to his leadership role in the investigation into the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
In the 8th District, Trump-backed Abe Hamadeh is running against JD Vance-backed Blake Masters, along with several other candidates including former Rep. Trent Franks. Masters has a massive war chest of $6.6 million, while Hamadeh, who is better known in Maricopa County, has $1.3 million.

And then we have the Democrats.
