With 85.9 percent of precincts reporting just after midnight, Grijalva had beaten out Republican Ross Hieb and Libertarian John Nemeth, carrying just more than 60 percent of the votes.

Hieb followed with 35.8 percent and Nemeth trailed with just more than 4 percent.

Grijalva was the projected winner in the race to represent the highly Democratic community that the district encompasses.

During the election, he said that he would like to see more federal dollars pour into Arizona.

"There are needs in this community that need to be attended to," he said.

State Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, a Democrat, defeated Libertarian Kimberly Swanson for the District 28 state senate seat with nearly 75 percent of votes.

Democrats Dave Bradley and Ted Downing, a UA professor, beat out Republican incumbent Ed Poelstra in the race for state house District 28.

Poelstra ran a moderate campaign, but with less than 30 percent of votes he failed to topple either one of his democratic opponents.

Downing had the most support with 35.49 percent and Bradley carrying 34.62 percent.

The race for Arizona's superintendent of public instruction remained undecided late last night, even though Republican Tom Horne maintained a lead over Democrat Jay Blanchard.

With four-fifths of precincts reporting returns, Blanchard said he won't know the outcome until today, when votes in rural Arizona, particularly Navajo County, will be counted.

"I hope we can close in and take the lead," Blanchard said.

Horne wasn't declaring victory but was encouraged by his lead.

"I would say it's as close to done as you can get," said Horne, a former state representative.

Libertarian John Zajac was a distant third.

Much of the race centered around how to lead Arizona's public schools through the accountability debate during the next four years.

The winner of the race will also hold an ex-officio seat on the Arizona Board of Regents. In the past, the superintendent has cast pivotal votes on university issues like tuition.

The race for secretary of state remained close down the stretch Yesterday night, with Republican Jan Brewer slightly ahead of Democrat Chris Cummiskey with most precincts reporting.

Libertarian Sean Nottingham remained far behind.

Two of the three Indian gambling propositions before voters yesterday were defeated by wide margins, while a third held onto a narrow lead in early tallies.

Propositions 200 and 201 lost by large margins, according to unofficial results.

With about four-fifths of the precincts counted statewide, the initiative sponsored by 17 tribes, Proposition 202, was leading narrowly, but thousands of ballots remained uncounted late Yesterday.

Backers of the three rival measures poured more than $37 million collectively into their campaigns, making them the three most expensive campaigns ever mounted in Arizona.

Propositions 200, 201 and 202 all proposed expanding gambling in Arizona, increasing the number of slot machines and allowing tribal casinos to offer additional games. They all also would have offered some money to state programs.

Proposition 200, sponsored by the Colorado River Indian Tribes, would have offered the largest expansion of tribal gambling and the smallest amount of money to the state.

Proposition 201, sponsored by dog and horse track owners, would have given the most money to the state but also would have allowed racetracks to offer slot machines.

The other initiative, 202, was the result of a deal negotiated with the state ÷ but never signed ÷ to expand gambling and offer a percentage of the revenue to state programs. Currently, the state receives no money from tribal gambling operations.

The compact laid out in Proposition 202 was never signed because of a legal challenge by racetrack owners and the inability of state lawmakers to agree on a compact.

Meanwhile, Proposition 203, which would have legalized possession of small amounts of marijuana, failed. But Proposition 302, which decreased penalties for drug possession, was passing.
