Arizona found itself at the center of national attention on Election Day thanks to a number of controversies.
Specifically, state election officials were criticized for what appeared to be widespread mismanagement of election processes in Maricopa County. According to election officials, 20 percent of voting locations in the county had malfunctioning vote tabulators.
Because of this, lines at voting locations were incredibly long. In some cases, wait times reached well over an hour. Some voters were even turned away from voting locations and told to find another. The Western Journal received over 20 exclusive videos featuring Arizona voters explaining how difficult it was for them to cast their ballots. One voter had to wait in line for seven hours.
These same-day votes were expected to lean Republican. Red State’s Arizona-based journalist Cameron Arcand said several experts indicated as much.
The governor’s race between Republican firebrand Kari Lake and the not-quite-so-energetic Democrat Katie Hobbs — the current secretary of state responsible for running Arizona elections — was a tight one. On Monday, The Associated Press called the race for Hobbs, who holds a roughly 20,000-vote advantage over Lake.
Despite this, an inside source tells The Western Journal that Lake will not be conceding. The Western Journal founder Floyd Brown also suggested as much in a tweet.

A Bumper Crop of Democracy
Bringing in the sheaves, one dropbox at a time
https://neociceroniantimes.substack.com/p/a-bumper-crop-of-democracy
If the reader might bear with me for a moment, I’d like to tell you all a mystery story. There was once a country that was having an election. Going into this election, one party - the party in power - was unpopular, trailing in the polls, and led by a president with abysmal approval ratings and who is widely understood to be senile. This party’s policies had resulted in widespread economic damage to the nation, creating rates of inflation unseen for forty years, doubling gas prices, and harming the broad middle of the country financially. Further, this same party was pursuing social policies that created a widespread backlash against its radicalism and had already been contributing to electoral problems for it in previous local and off-year elections all across the land. Even in swing states, this party’s candidates were behind in the polls and the widespread expectation from all quarters was that it was going to suffer a wideout in the upcoming election.
Yet in a baffling and practically inexplicable turn of events, when the day of the election came, this party became the beneficiary of an astoundingly fortuitous chain of events that rescued it from certain peril! Voting machines curiously broke down or otherwise became inoperable in precincts where the other party made up a majority. Meanwhile, in swing state districts which this party coincidentally happens to control, voting didn’t end on election night, but box after box after box of ballots kept coming in, being counted by officials in secret with no outside oversight. In one state, in a race in which two ladies were running for governor, the one lady who belonged to this party (and who also happened to be in the office that oversees elections), benefited from the mysterious breakdowns and never-ending counting that was carried out in an especially cryptic manner, allowing her to certify herself as the winner. By this same formula, the party in question managed to eke out narrow wins in basically every contested governorship and senate race that they needed to retain their political control.

Nor should Kari Lake concede anything!
A re-count is not enough. There is only one acceptable solution. They need to re-do the voting in AZ.
Good don’t concede - they wouldn’t.
Nationwide it has been a phenomenal steal again, more sophisticated.
Marxist voting only elects Marxists.
Good.
The people who think it’s time to stop backing down to demon dismissal of our Law need a leader and she’ll do…
If it’s not auditable, it’s not an election.
Latee
It worked in 2020.
she should demand an immediate AUDIT of the vote
What was the name of the court case in the late 1990s that stated that this (ongoing counting situtation) is NOT an election? And that the election, by law, is required to be done on election day and not one minute after?
I just recently (before the election) saw this on here but i cannot for the life of me recall the name of the case.
I always vote on Election Day. Previously our polling location was the local high school where there were probably 20 voting booths and short lines. This election we had to vote at the Indians Bend Wash community center which had ten voting booths. My wife and I arrived at 11:15 AM, voted at 12:45. When we left the line was as long as when we arrived.
A couple of thoughts, what do you think the chances are the vote will be redone ??
I’m not sure but has any election in the US ever been redone over allegations of fraud ??
We all agree the voting in Arizona was fraudulent, what makes anyone believe voting again and having the same corrupt organization conduct the election would be any less corrupt.
Not trying to throw cold water on situation, keep fighting the situation in Arizona, realizing Kari Lake is not going to win and become governor, she can lead a drive to reform the situation and help come up with a solution that can stop the fraud.
Stacy Abrams in Georgia is a prime example, she lost twice in Georgia, but her grassroots organization got major changes in election laws in Georgia and it helped raise millions of dollars that has made Georgia a much more purple state than before. In the end even though she did not win, she has had a major impact in Georgia.
Stacey Abrahms has still not conceded her first loss to Kemp. She made millions doing it too.
They Democrats are playing long-ball. They've been refining the steal and their messaging around it since their failed attempt in 2000. 2020 was their first national success. 2022 was a refinement of 2020's results.
If you think the gaslighting is bad now, wait until we see what they try in 2024...
I would bet that Lake would win by 40 points if they had only in person voting without machines, and with ID
Good. Why should she concede a stolen election?
I have trouble believing otherwise intelligent people keep walking face-first into these fraud walls with no real plan.
