If you listen to Katie Hobbs, the Arizona Secretary of State and gubernatorial candidate running against Kari Lake, you would think that Lake represents the greatest threat to public confidence in the upcoming election. She continually claims that Kari Lake “won’t accept” the results of the election if she somehow loses. (As if “not accepting” election results somehow voids the election.) But there is a much more significant and glaringly obvious problem with the governor’s race that Hobbs never seems to mention. The Arizona Secretary of State is charged with overseeing the election and ensuring its accuracy and validity. How is it that Katie Hobbs is overseeing an election where she is a candidate? Isn’t that a blatant conflict of interest? Well, it’s blatant enough that members of her own party are now calling on her to recuse herself, and Time Magazine has chosen to run the story.
Among the people publicly calling on Hobbs to recuse herself are two former Arizona secretaries of state, one a Democrat and the other a Republican. One of them suggested that oversight of the election should be turned over to either the attorney general or the Maricopa County recorder.
While the Secretary of State doesn’t conduct the election, her office is tasked with collecting and verifying the results submitted by each county. In the case of a recount (and this race is very close in the latest polls), her office would be heavily involved. And yet, Hobbs’ spokesperson came out and said that she has “no intention” of recusing herself from that role.
I could understand Hobbs being reluctant if she were being asked to step down from her office entirely.

Kinda late for that, doncha think?
Brian Kemp didn’t steal his sec/state race. Hobbs did.
Yeah, and that’ll make her do it.
Maricopa County: “We Don’t Know Where These Ballots Are Coming From”

Bill Gates just said “we don’t know where these ballots are from” however the ballots dropped last night happened to be from significantly blue areas first. He knows exactly what ballots that were selected for the batch and confirms they are only released 60-80k results per day. pic.twitter.com/2no3PmJWFY— Tyler Bowyer 🇺🇸 (@tylerbowyer) November 12, 2022
