Not yet the red wave we expected: the 2022 midterms

After months of talking about election denialism, abortion,
inflation and other contentious topics, candidates have put
their futures in the hands of Arizonans.  And the future on
this day after the midterm election remains unclear. Election
tabulation problems drew attention in Maricopa County and Democrats
made a strong showing with early voting. But the outcome of the
state’s top races is unknown because the Republican-leaning
Election Day vote totals are still trickling in, and ballots
dropped off at vote centers haven't been counted at all. Eyes are
still on some of the most contentious races: governor, secretary of
state and Senate, where Trump-supported candidates weren't yet
a part of a Red Wave. This week on The Gaggle, a podcast by The
Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, host Ron Hansen gives an inside
look into the Republic newsroom on election night. He is joined by
reporters Stacey Barchenger, Mary Jo Pitzl, Tara Kavaler, Yana
Kunichoff and Ray Stern as they analyze the early results and
discuss what the races' outcomes could mean for the state's future.
