How do we get election results?

Unlike states like Florida and Colorado, it takes Arizona anywhere
from days to almost weeks to find out the results of the election.
In the last midterm election, the results of the governor's race
were announced six days after Election Day. Cable news famously
called Arizona for Joe Biden on election night in 2020, but that
contest would stay in headlines for months to come after a ballot
recount. So far, 1 million early ballots have been
received in Maricopa County alone. But early voting won't speed the
process up. This week on Election Dissection, an elections series
of The Gaggle podcast by The Arizona Republic and
azcentral.com hosts Mary Jo Pitzl and Sasha
Hupka are joined by data reporter at the Republic Sahana
Jayaraman. Together they discuss a new tool to gather result data
and explain why it takes so long to find out who won in Arizona.
