Democrats pad narrow leads in Arizona Senate, governor races

PHOENIX (AP) — Democrats padded their narrow leads in key Arizona contests on Thursday, but the races for U.S. Senate and governor were still too early to call with about a fifth of the total ballots left to be counted.

Election officials in Maricopa County, which includes metro Phoenix and more than 60% of voters, expected to begin reporting results Friday from a crucial group of ballots — nearly 300,000 mail ballots that were returned on Election Day. That group has swung wildly in recent election cycles, from strongly Democratic in the 2018 midterms to strongly Republican in 2020.

Former President Donald Trump’s lies about the 2020 election have rejiggered voting patterns across the country and especially in Arizona, which has played a starring role in conspiracy theories suggesting the outcome was tainted. That makes it even more complicated for news organizations to declare winners because historical data doesn’t necessarily apply.

The GOP nominated a slate of candidates who earned Trump’s endorsement after falsely claiming his loss to President Joe Biden was tainted. Lake claimed Thursday morning that Maricopa County officials are “slow rolling” the release of results to make it look like Democrats are doing better than they actually are.

This nerd may need to get his resume’ ready when Lakes ballot drops start to get reported over the next few days. She’s going to be Az Governor but Masters is a 50-50 chance right now.

The AP couldn’t put out an unbiased report if their life depended on it! They are liars and so partisan that their bodies and brains have turned blue.

This narrative is being used to cover for the Steal that they are trying to complete in Phoenix right now.

Make it appear that Lake and Masters were always losing so that no one will call them on it when they submarine their phony ballots intothe count.

The longer this goes on, the easier it is for them to do it.

And now they have mafia sheriff of Maricopa county working to protect them: no one gets close enough to see the moving parts.

All part of the plan.

AP is diehard. They may want to take a clue from their lying media brethren who are stuck telling the truth. Since the election day has passed, I noticed even the Washington Post and MSNBC, you heard that right, MSNBC, after analyzing what ballots remained to be counted on Thursday evening were saying that Lake is favored to win.

So sick of the lying media hypocrites claiming Presiden Trump lied about the election.

The leftist media lies constantly.

They prop up lying Biden, never calling him out for his constant, blatant lies.

They lied about Russia.

They still perpetuate the lie of President Trump praising NAZIs and white supremacists with their “both sides” have very fine people lie. They know very well he never intended to praise white supremacists or neo-NAZIs.

And rather than argue ANY points about election fraud, they simply call all claims of fraud “lies”.

On top of this, free speech is under heavy attack. Those who control the narrative have decided that destroying people who they disagree with makes more sense than using free speech to make the case against them.

These people do not deserve to live in a free country.

I think that guy was an advocate of taking liquid colloidal silver, on the belief that it is strongly antiviral, or medicinal or what not.

Taking silver makes you blue, aka as Argyria.

That guy pictured, Paul Karason, died at 62 yo in 2013.

That’s the guy who was pushing Colloidal Silver, not Papa Smurf.
