With less than 1 percent of precincts reporting, the Associated Press declared John McCain the winner with 55.2 percent, compared to Kelli Ward's 35 percent. McCain is now one step closer to his sixth term in the US Senate.

McCain, who was the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, faces a conservative challenger in Kelli Ward, a former state senator who has the support of Donald Trump, the current GOP presidential pick. Trump and McCain have long butted heads, and Ward has been able to paint McCain as an establishment candidate.

The Arizona senator turned 80 on Monday, while Ward is only 47. The winner will battle Democratic Representative Ann Kirkpatrick, whose campaign coffers are full as Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has closed the gap in the traditionally deep red state.

“Trump and Clinton are essentially running even in Arizona,” McCain pollster Bill McInturff told the Washington Post on Monday.

He was declared the winner after less than 1% of votes counted. Why count them at all? After looking at one vote, one candidate will have 100% and the other(s) 0%, reason dictates that such a landslide result is almost impossible to recover from, so the winner can be declared...

I just think he gets re-elected on name recognition anymore. If any of the voters actually knew what this scum bag stood for he shouldn't get a single vote.

But that's the problem with our current system. Not everyone should be allowed to vote. Our countries founders were well aware of that and limited it to only property owners for a reason.

the key people do not lose - no matter what the votes show. it's part of the system 'they' set up. control the choke points....let some lower level elections be legit (for cover)

Still no concrete results, everything in regards is 'old' news before the counting was over. Almost as if it's being hidden.
