Technically nobody calls it - the votes decide. AP can call all they want but if enough votes break for Lake she wins. More likely a recount could be triggered but I don't know what Arizona's threshold is. Really, the only race that is ever legally called is the Presidential race, and that is only because the Electoral College votes and declares the winner.

How often has the AP missed it when calling elections?
Dewey vs. Truman is the biggest. No idea how often though.
