Donald Trump made bold statements on his Truth Social account over the weekend, saying that the Republican candidate for AZ Governor, Kari Lake, should be ‘installed’ as Arizona’s next governor. Trump made the statements as six counties prepared to meet the Monday deadline to certify the 2022 midterm election results in what will begin the process of contesting the highly troubled November elections.
Media reports show that with 99 percent of the vote reported in Arizona, there is just 0.6 percent separating Lake from the projected victor, her Democratic opponent Katie Hobbs.
But Republican outcry, led by Lake and former President Trump, claims there was foul play in the midterms due to Hobbs’ Secretary of State role, which puts her in charge of Arizona’s elections.
Officials in Arizona’s Maricopa County demanded county elections officials delay certification and answer questions about how the Nov. 8 midterm elections were conducted.

Sorry, I was replying to someone else.
I think she is smart to take this stance at this point. There are plenty of indications of incompetence and conflict of interest at this point. Fraud is harder to prove than incompetence at this point. If she starts screaming fraud from the get-go (even if she thinks it has been committed), she can be more easily dismissed as a kook. She doesn't have the luxury of emotional and knee-jerk reactions without proof in hand like those on Free Republic do. She has to be methodical and exhaust every legal recourse.
You and I both know there were shady dealings behind this election, but she's the one that has to fight the fight.
So the thousands of people who came out to see her at each event, and the dozen or so polls that had her leading by 10 plus points make it seem like to you that she was not popular or is there some other reason you’ve come up with?
Well technical problems “glitches” can cause fraud. And its wide spread.
(Nobody cares.)
When you vote in Arizona, does the voting machine create a “ballot” which is then fed into a tabulating machine?
That being the case, if the tabulating machine rejects the ballot, it must be adjudicated. Are the rejected ballots adjudicated on the spot, or are they put in Door 3 (whatever the hell that is) and sent to the central site to be adjudicated and tabulated?
It seems to me the offsite adjudicators have the ability to change the votes as they please.
Carzy as our currently installed President?
Glitches can lead to errors, but not fraud. They’re not the same.
Trump’s credibility is fine.
How many “installed” threads will there be? 5,10,15???
In the primary, Kari Lake got 47% of the Maricopa County vote. That was more than Robson (44%) but there were 5 candidates. 53% of Maricopa County Republicans wanted someone else.
Two months later, voting began in Arizona. It is very hard to heal a divided party in 60 days. MOST came around and voted for Kari. But how many refused? 1.5 million people voted in Maricopa. She lost the election by 17,000 votes. Falling just 1% short in Maricopa explains her loss in the general election.
MASSIVE technical problems.
“It seems to me the offsite adjudicators have the ability to change the votes as they please.”
The off site adjudicators are teams with both parties looking at all the votes. They have to come to an agreement on every ballot. That is part of why things take so long. This isn’t Atlanta or Philly. No closed doors, hidden rooms, boxes unloaded and brought in secretly. BOTH PARTIES full access, AND all of it is done with live video feeds on the Internet.
Something tells me no fire, in perfect World there would be but we live in a very corrupt and evil World.
If Republicans had mailed in their votes, or voted early, there would be no issue. Waiting for in person voting bit us in the butt.
They can be intentionally performed and that is criminal fraud. Its also a national security threat.
I always vote early. One reason is the convenience of avoiding long election day lines and the other reason is that I could be sick on election day or unable to vote for another reason.
... and hot air.
When is the last time a state-wide election was voided and re-done? Would it be for the entire ballot or just the governor? How would they do it, like run-offs in Georgia and elsewhere? Maybe a snap election next Saturday?
Sadly, if a recount is meaningless, and with electronic voting it basically is, does anyone have the authority and willingness to call for a re-do?
Move along nothing to see here, just a few non-functional voting machines.
