The nation’s last undecided race for governor got even closer Sunday as Democrat Katie Hobbs’ lead shrank against Republican Kari Lake in the race to lead Arizona, but it was too early to call.

Hobbs led by 26,000 votes, a 1 point margin, down about 10,000 votes from a day earlier.

Rate that ballots are coming in means that if the difference is over 7,000 votes advantage to Hobbs, there is NO RECOUNT.

Why did DeSantis win by 20 points in a 51-49 GOP-Dem state?

THIS IS WHY: FLORIDA ARRESTS PEOPLE FOR FELONY VOTE HARVESTING. [Which is legal and massive in Rat-run states.]

“Florida state department investigating voter fraud allegations in Orlando”
> Nov 2, 2022

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/politics/florida-investigating-ballot-harvesting-allegations

The new Florida Office of Election Crimes and Security investigated a voter fraud allegation in Orange County and has referred the matter to law enforcement for possible prosecution in the alleged ballot harvesting scheme.

The Florida Department of State confirmed to the Washington Examiner that the OECS conducted a “preliminary investigation” and has since handed the complaint over to the Department of Law Enforcement.

A former Democratic candidate for an Orange County commissioner seat told the Washington Times that she provided a sworn complaint to the agency stating that left-wing groups have coordinated a scheme to collect absentee ballots from black voters in the area, sometimes changing or discarding the ballots to elect their preferred candidates.

“The [OECS] was made aware of this issue around September 1, 2022. After further inquiry, OECS received additional information related to the allegation on October 17, 2022, and performed a preliminary investigation,” a spokesman told the Washington Examiner. “Since OECS is an investigative entity and does not have authority to make arrests, the office forwarded the complaint to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for possible violation of section 104.0616, Florida Statutes.”

That section of the state statutes makes it a felony for anyone other than the voter’s immediate family to transfer an absentee ballot, with exceptions for residential care facilities. Cynthia Harris, the Democrat who made an unsuccessful bid for District 6 county commissioner in the Orlando area, said left-leaning groups would target voters likely to use absentee ballots and then show up to collect the ballot in violation of state law.

“They know a whole year ahead who they are going to target and who they’re going to prey upon,” Harris told the Washington Times. “They get them to fill out an absentee ballot request, usually a year ahead of time. Then they’ll knock on their doors, and they’ll say, ‘You received the absentee ballot, and we’re here to pick it up.’”

Harris’s complaint continues that the ballot collectors would steam open the envelopes to check if they supported their candidates and, if not, would change or discard them. She alleges that the operation has gone on for decades, that she has video evidence from 2014 and 2017, and that the group did the same thing during the 2020 election and 2022 primaries.

Even if she doesn’t win, I have the idea that this will not be over as her and her people are quite aware that there was that good bit of cheating and other stinky stuff that went on that we here know all about.

Agree. And Kari will make it her mission in life to expose the fraud and change the system.

Vagarous prosecution of vote and ballot fraud does two things: 1, It assures clean elections and 2, The vote counting doesn’t go on forever.

“THIS IS WHY: FLORIDA ARRESTS PEOPLE FOR FELONY VOTE HARVESTING.”

Actually just as big if not bigger, is that DeSantis fired the Dade County Election Supervisor and put in someone that believes in election integrity.

Dade was able to count votes in hours and did not wait until after the Panhandle closed (an hour later) to turn in results. Florida went from Purple to Deep Red in one election cycle.

Anybody have the latest vote totals? Last I heard last night, there were about 225,000 ballots left to count, making a difference of 26,000 very difficult to overcome.

Difficult, but not impossible . . .

I sure hope so. It is of the upmost importance to follow this through as far as possible.

The progression of the narrative.

Don't worry, we got this.

The remaining votes will cement Kari's win

Hobbs is toast

Keep the faith

"We" have to do better

Q is back everyone

Stay home and shut up

The fix is in.

Don't worry, affidavits coming soon

Ask Rudy G how much all those affidavits mean.

She gained ground on Hobbs, but the percentage she needs of the remaining votes to pull it out went from 56% to 58%.

we were told that the ballots left over were all ED voters that skewed highly in favor of Repubs, yet ever single “dump” of votes is Dem friendly.

We are being played and lied to constantly by “our” leaders. They are stealing our nation and lording power over us. They are not benevolent. They seek our destruction and they use stolen power to do it.
