Stephen Richer, Maricopa County Recorder, says he'd like to: "...run for U.S. Senate, just to fly the flag for real conservatism and make life hell for Kari.” Charming dude.

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
She doesn’t have a law degree.
It’s quite all right, but she doesn’t have a law degree. Just a degree in communications and journalism.
SHe is a smart as a whip and I think she’d be an asset wherever Trump might deem her right to be.
I’d be good with her hosting a show on her own.
Yes
Clearly fraudulent
And the McCain faction of the Republican Party in Arizona.
For whatever reason(s) a good part of the Republican political establishment in Arizona does not like Kari Lake.
So she loses.
And my FR friend is why Demorats win elections and we don’t.If the Rat party nominates someone, no matter how flawed, the party sticks with the candidate.
Nevada: With Brown not being as popular as Trump, it wouldn't be surprising at all for him to tally less than 50%.
Wisconsin: With Hovde not being as popular as Trump, it wouldn't be surprising at all for him to tally less than 50%.
Michigan: With Rogers not being as popular as Trump, it wouldn't be surprising at all for him to tally less than 50%.
And soon-to-be Pennsylvania:
With McCormick not being as popular as Trump, it wouldn't be surprising at all for him to tally less than 50%.
I assume you're seeing the problem here in every "swing state" - Trump, the Orange Hitler, the most hated man on the planet, won all these states.
But SOMEHOW, not ONE of the downticket Republican US Senate candidates sealed the deal.
Because "they're not as popular as Trump" - the most hated man in America.
Pull the other one.
That has already happened - Richer lost his primary to Justin Heap, who won the general and will take office for 2025. And the new Maricopa County Sheriff is Republican Jerry Sheridan, one of Joe Arpaio’s lieutenants. Arpaio’s defeat by Obama’s DoJ was the first domino in giving the cartels control - but change is coming.
do the down ballots vote red or blue???
Trump won by over 6%. That’s hardly “narrowly.” Not sure where you’re getting your obviously biased info.
They need to count every vote which is exactly what Mark Kelly said about the Pennsylvania race.
Thanks for letting me know those things. I guess I should take back what I said.
You’re right about her being a good asset somewhere.
AZ does suck at elections, always has.
Sounds like they love their illegals.
3-4 am, magic hour for ballot dumps.

Yeah. How about...NO.
Huh?
Not suspicious at all.
Nope.
Nothing to see here.
I’m surprised that President Trump was able to pull off Arizona with all the shenanigans, frankly.
Why are AZ votes so difficult to quantify?
With that scenario, Democrats might claim that the Orange Man Bad winning narrowly in all of those states is indication that Republicans with Elon Musk’s money cheated in all of those states to get Trump elected.
What good for the goose is good for the gander.
Don’t count me in on the idea that every time we lose that it is because we were cheated. Sometimes you just lose. You can prepare better for the future by acknowledging that this happens sometimes, rather than claiming that, every time that we lose, “We wuz cheated!”
