Ahead by nearly 16,800 votes and with ever-widening lead, it now appears Proposition 123 has been approved.
Figures as of late Thursday shows 520,425 votes in support of the measure to boost school funding, with 503,659 against.
The largest share of votes to be tallied is in Maricopa County with 15,400 early ballots and about 1,270 provisional ballots where the registration needs to be verified. But given the trend of votes counted in the last 24 hours, there may not be enough uncounted ballots out there to make a difference.
