The Arizona recount results are in for the AZ AG race. The AG Democrat Candidate's lead shrank a bit, but the results still show her having won it.

Democrat Kris Mayes led Republican Abe Hamadeh by just 280 votes out of more than 2.5 million ballots cast following the recount, a gap of 0.01 percentage points that marks one of the closest contests in the state’s history.

The state’s canvass earlier this month had shown Mayes leading by 511 votes, triggering an automatic recount under Arizona law for the attorney general contest and two other races close enough to fall within the threshold.

An Arizona judge ordered counties to keep the recount results confidential until Thursday’s hearing.

The updated standings tightened Mayes’s lead by nearly half after a discrepancy, although the judge did not specify during the hearing which county adjusted its results.
 
The other Arizona state recount has the GOP Education candidate gaining 221 votes. He won by 9,188 votes.

"In the race for superintendent of public instruction, Horne ended the recount with a 9,188-vote lead. Hoffman had previously conceded to Horne, a former schools chief who served one term as attorney general before losing the 2014 primary. Horne posted a net gain of 221 votes in the recount." Link
 
The AZ County that was mainly responding for Hamadeh and Horne having a net gain of over 200 votes is Pinal County.

Pinal County, which has been plagued with election problems for the past year, included 507 more votes in its recount total than in its original canvass. Of those, 392 were cast for Republican Abe Hamadeh and 115 were cast for Mayes. Nearly all inconsistencies were the result of mistakes made by election officials: misfiled provisional ballots, poorly trained poll workers, and improper tabulation were to blame, according to a report from the county.

The Governor's race didn't go through a recount since Hobbs victory over Lake was larger than 0.5%. The official results have Hobbs having Lake by 17,117 votes. But Hobbs likely defeated Lake by about 16,900 votes.
 
Hobbs and others were sworn in today.
Have not found any new info on Lake's appeal to the AZ SC on her court case to overturn the election.

Eight years of Ducey ruling over as Governor of Arizona has now come to an end. Hobbs is now officially our Governor.

Will be interesting to see what Kari Lake "tweets", if anything.
 
All they need to do is have another 300 recounts and the Republican might win.
