A hotly contested presidential election in Arizona has led different scorekeepers to draw different conclusions about the winner of its 11 electoral votes, with some news organizations, led by the Associated Press, calling it early for Democrat Joe Biden even as others maintain the state is too close to call.
The AP is standing by its Arizona decision as the race has narrowed to a difference of 68,390 votes or 2.3 points. And President Donald Trump’s campaign has demanded that the race call be rescinded.
