The ban's supporters may still get the last laugh, though. On Wednesday afternoon, there were still 258,000 ballots around the state that needed to be counted. About 150,000 of those ballots were from Maricopa County, where Republicans outnumber Democrats. And many of those ballots are apparently from the 5th Congressional District, which elected Rep. J.D. Hayworth six times despite the liberal influence of Tempe. It's likely that final vote results won't be ready until at least next Wednesday.
And even if it turns out to be so, they're predicting a short-lived victory. RTWT.
