Lesko’s Margin Shrinks to Just 4 Points

Although early results showed that Debbie Lesko (R) beat Hiral Tipirneni (R) in Arizona’s special House election by six points, 53% to 47%, the Republican’s winning margin decreased after new votes were counted: Lesko 52%, Tipirneni 48%.

Arizona Republic: “Lesko’s lackluster performance left Republicans with a sinking feeling as they barrel towards the 2018 cycle. The numbers don’t bode well for GOP candidates up and down the ballot.”
