When the Republican candidate for Arizona governor accused the state’s most populous county of “slow-rolling” the vote count to skew early election results, a local official fired back.
“Quite frankly, it is offensive for Kari Lake to say that these people behind me are slow-rolling this, when they’re working 14 to 18 hours” every day, said Bill Gates, the Republican chairman of the Maricopa County board of supervisors.
In 2020, Maricopa County landed in the national spotlight while certifying results amid false claims that the election was stolen from Trump. The following year, it underwent an “audit” pushed by Republicans in the state Senate, which ended with a report validating Biden’s win...
“That was just a constant flow of misinformation that we became adept at responding to," Gates said. "We began to understand the importance of responding to that misinformation...”
One persistent claim started when Lake, who is trailing Democrat Katie Hobbs by a percentage point with less than 200,000 votes left to count, accused the county of “slow-rolling” the count.
Lake and other Republicans say the county has timed vote releases so Democratic areas of the metro Phoenix area are released first. Gates has spent days explaining how that’s not happening and is not possible. In truth, the county processes ballots using a first-in, first out system.

This is going to sound hyperbolic, but it brings clarity to the human condition:
“Everybody knew” Hitler cheated to get elected. But they did nothing because, after all, how bad could it be?
One thing that is puzzling is that Lake has gone silent the last day or two. I’m hoping she is in planning sessions to expose the cheat.
So they recounted the stack of counterfeit money and came up with the same total?
I just found in my junk mail hundreds of republican maga candidate emails.
What is “offensive” is allowing mail-in ballots, the gross errors you and your team made, the impossibility of the data you have reported, and not being prepared to get your count done by midnight on election day.
Having the Secretary of State in charge of elections while she is running for guv is offensive. Her not recusing herself from her SOS duties is highly offensive. That is the most egregious conflict of interest I’ve ever heard of.
Kari Lake: They’re slow rolling the count.
Maricopa (translated): We offended. We speak-um horse dookey.
And the guys’ name is Bill Gates. How ironic! Two socialists with the same name.
I’ll bet it pays OT.
Fla = 1 day.
Ariz = Stop insulting our steal!
Funny, almost every story about this now includes these exact words.
“Gates and crew are incompetent.”
No they are not incompetent, they are criminal. They are thieves. And committed election fraud.
give them a break
they are cheating as fast as they can
az voters are gonna have to take a lot more pain
before they say
this aint right
Hmm. Most of what I have to say about them could well be offensive to them. So what?
Poor Snowflake thieves.
All you in AZ who can should leave.
What took them so long?
They should arrest the dead people who voted.
Hey sh*thead, tomorrow makes one week since the polls closed. If that's not slow-rolling I don't know what is. How come Florida results were known within hours? Your state is a f***ing basket case.
Corrupt. They started a PAC last year to address the problem MAGA issue. Real honest.
We don’t care what you say is offensive. You’re a cheating SOB. You have no standing.
