Rep. David Schweikert now leads in the 6th District House race, while his Democratic challenger Hiral Tipirneni has found herself in hot water with democrats for pushing a conspiracy theory in a fundraising email.
U.S. Representative in Congress – District No. 6
| Choice | Polling Place | Early Ballot | Provisional Ballot | Total | Percent |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Schweikert, David (REP) | 20,498 | 188,002 | 0 | 208,500 | 51.90% |
| Tipirneni, Hiral (DEM) | 8,441 | 184,807 | 0 | 193,248 | 48.10% |
The 51.90% to 48.10% margin for Schweikert shows his lead steadily growing.
Tipirneni, according to democrat columnist Elvia Diaz:
Is trailing Republican incumbent David Schweikert in Arizona’s 6th Congressional District, as of Friday afternoon. But she’ll be remembered as the wacky Democrat who joined Trump’s conspiracy theories that somehow election workers are cheating them out of votes.
She actually had the audacity to send out a fundraising plea on Thursday warning that Republicans could “take the reins on counting these final ballots” unless you chip in $10, $24.40 or even $100 to stop it.
