In the key state of Arizona, state and federal races remain in limbo.
The dust is still settling from Tuesday's midterm elections, and many races remain too close to call. (Follow all of the latest with today's live blog here.) We still don't know which party will control Congress, and may not know for days. In the key state of Arizona, state and federal races remain in limbo. But Arizona did show Americans just how committed some Republicans remain to undermining election integrity, writes Zeeshan Aleem.
"The pro-Trump right engaged in chaotic and contradictory messaging about what was happening with voting machines in Arizona and what should be done about it," writes Aleem. "But that was secondary to a bigger mission: creating a shroud of controversy and scandal around voting in Arizona, with the mission of claiming another rigged election. Republicans can then blame foul play for any losses or say they heroically overcame attempts at subterfuge if they win. Either way, the legitimacy of American democratic institutions takes another blow."
