Biggs\u2019s razor-thin victory meant that Jones was eligible for a recount, though that recount led to Biggs expanding his lead to a victory of 27 votes, with Jones stating that it was \u201ca lot of effort for that small of a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to Maricopa County\u2019s director of Election Day and emergency voting, Scott Jarrett, automatic recounts can only be initiated after the Secretary of State\u2019s Office begins its canvass on Dec. 5 \u2013 meaning the process could drag on until Dec. 30.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyfetched.com\/kari-lake-woke-football-teams-owned-by-billionaires-will-not-dictate-border-policy\/\">Kari Lake: Woke \u2018Football Teams Owned by Billionaires\u2019 Will Not Dictate Border Policy<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jarrett said up to 3 million votes could be cast in Arizona, which means the number of votes needed for an automatic recount would be 15,000 \u2013 Axios <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/local\/phoenix\/2022\/11\/02\/new-arizona-law-more-recounts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Before Hobbs\u2019s victory was declared, the Democrat led the race with over 26,000 votes and one percentage point lead ahead of Lake.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\n<p>Although Lake gained ground in catching up with her opponent, the margin of victory between the two may not be sufficient for a recount, AZ Central reported.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/11\/14\/projections-democrat-katie-hobbs-wins-arizona-governors-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Breitbart<\/a> notes: Lake, a former Fox 10 Phoenix anchor of 22 years whom former President Donald Trump endorsed, looked to be one of the top Republican candidates in the country with her outstanding communication skills and the enthusiasm among her base.
