Under Arizona law, voters must join the line by 7 p.m. to cast a ballot.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the gubernatorial race, Arizona\u2019s attorney general contest remains too close to call, with more than 2.5 million votes counted but just 510 votes separating the two candidates. The close margin is likely to trigger an automatic recount under state law following certification.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
