KNAU Arizona Public Radio continues to integrate new audio software into both our news and classical services, resulting in some glitches. Thank you for your support and patience through this upgrade.

KNAU 88.7 is restored to full power. APS cut power to our system atop Mormon Mountain to service another radio station's electricity meter and restored it early Monday morning.

Automatic recounts likely in Arizona AG and school superintendent races

As the final ballots continue to be counted in Arizona, Democrat Kris Mayes leads her Republican opponent Abe Hamadeh by a razor-thin margin for state attorney general.

An automatic recount is likely after the remaining statewide ballots are tabulated.

Another race likely to be recounted is the contest for state school superintendent. Republican Tom Horne currently leads Democrat Kathy Hoffman by a very slim margin out of more than 2.5 million votes cast in Arizona's midterm election.

A bipartisan Arizona law was passed after the 2020 election in which President Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump by about 10,500 votes lowering the margin for an automatic recount less than half-a-percent.
