Maricopa County released another batch of election results totaling 104,407 ballots Saturday night, and it’s clear that something’s not right.
The results went 42.4% for Kari Lake and 54.5% for her opponent, Democrat Ruben Gallego, who is actually a neighbor and friend of Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer. But it’s not over yet, as hundreds of thousands of ballots are yet to be counted.
Remember that Stephen Richer, the county’s top election official, also hates Kari Lake with a passion. The Gateway Pundit reported on a deposition he gave in his defamation lawsuit against Kari Lake, where it was revealed that he contemplated running for Senate to “make life hell for Kari Lake” and admitted that he is “anti-MAGA” in private text messages. This comes after he ran an anti-MAGA PAC against Kari Lake in the 2022 election–the same election where 60% of vote tabulators failed and caused four-hour wait times for Republican voters.
Richer also votes for Democrats like Katie Hobbs and likely Kamala Harris. The only difference between Richer and a Democrat is the letter next to his name, which really says nothing except how he's registered to vote.
This is the same guy overseeing the vote counting for the mail-in ballots.
The Gateway Pundit has also learned of problems with the vote totals in Yuma County, and we will provide updates shortly.
Kari Lake could still pull off a win, but this last ballot drop was pretty damning, and it's hard to outvote fraud. She seems to have a path to victory in her as vote totals from across the state of Arizona slowly come in if she wins roughly 55% of the remaining totals.
Decision Desk HQ, however, has called the race for Ruben Gallego.

Prior to this drop, Lake political operative Colton Duncan said in an X post that Lake had won about 55% of all votes counted since the early hours of November 6. She needed 52% of the remaining 445,131 votes to take the lead.
Of all the votes that have come in since 3:45am AZ on Nov. 6th, Kari Lake has won 55% statewide of each drop on average (from the deepest areas to the deepest areas and everything in between)
To win, @KariLake needs 52% of the remaining votes & she is on track to hit that.
At the time, Lake trailed by just 32,352 votes with 445,131 outstanding ballots after ballot drops in Yavapai and Mohave, along with less favorable drops from Maricopa and Pima, came in earlier.
...more
Which is 52.6% of the vote. Not a landslide by any means. With Lake not being as popular as Trump, it wouldn't be surprising at all for her to tally less than 50%.
I hope people go to prison.
If she loses her election, what else would be good?
If she loses, President Trump should appoint her to a good position in his administration.
You actually believe this is an honest count. LOL.
I think Lake’s time running for statewide office is done. But she probably won’t see it that way unfortunately.
She went from a TV anchors desk to the big time all in one jump. A bridge too far.
She’d never get confirmed and I’m not sure its technical requirements would allow her, but functionally the most useful and MAGA place to put her would be US Attorney for AZ! Lots of corruption to investigate and fix there. It will take power and willpower to fix that state. That’s the most power Trump has to offer. The only one else with her willpower will be a Frosh GOP AZ Rep, Abe Hamden, who thus can’t be afforded for the spot. The bad guys in AZ are demonstrably powerful, but not very competent, only saved in ‘20 by corrupt state judiciary. It won’t take great lawyers or a better venue to beat them, just honest judges. Maybe the federal bench would be more responsible.
The problem with that theory - is that the RNC has never really been fond of Lake...
his 52.6 has him up 6.2% which isn’t too shabby.
Yeahhhhh....
Lake is not a personable candidate, she’s not warm, she’s not that smart IMHO. I’ve voted for her every time I could, but we could have done better than her.
She needs to grow her hair long to be taken seriously as a female republican. She’s quite attractive with long hair. I look at her and I think feminist.
True, McConnell and the GOPe ignored her.
A state attorney general, a future governor, a Trump cabinet secretary.
Sorry I came across as short with you.
I agree.
Gallego shredded her with her own words on abortion. She also passed of the Arizona establishment. The hand of McCain reaches from beyond the grave. We need a focused TPUSA effort here in 2026. Take back Governor SOS and AG. Take Mariccopa County Recorder.
My brother called me up tonight, and was whizzing all over the Arizona voting clown show for half an hour.
Twice in two years Lake gets cheated by the same f’n people. I can only Trump can do something but l doubt it.
She’ll go to the media...maybe Fox....It’s calle Peter’s Principle. Never expected her to win. She’s not a politician...she’s a reporter.
