Kari Lake Silent as Arizona Ballot Drop Confirms Almost Certain Defeat
Newsweek ^ | 14 Nov 22 | Ewan Palmer

Posted on 11/14/2022 11:38:52 AM PST by Erik Latranyi

Kari Lake, the Republican candidate for governor in Arizona, has yet to respond after Katie Hobbs' team declared the Democrat is the "unequivocal favorite" to win the midterm election.

Lake, who was endorsed by Donald Trump, and is a 2020 election denier, is currently behind Hobbs by just over 26,000 votes with around 93 percent of the ballots accounted for, according to the Associated Press tally.

While Lake managed to cut Hobbs' lead by around 10,000 following a ballot count on Sunday, experts have suggested that Lake will not be able to overcome Hobbs' lead with around seven percent of votes left to count.

According to the Arizona Mirror's analysis, Lake will need to win just over 58 percent of the remaining votes to surpass Hobbs, something Lake has failed to do in any of the post-election counts.

They need an audit. Maricopa County going to far and his blowing up may not be such a bad thing, it is only then that the collapse of the system is obvious. Only then can the rebuilding get underway.

Lake led in most polls entering Election Day, but not by much at all. Maybe 2%. And that was likely inside the error margin for each of those polls.

It is surprising GOP areas are not giving her more of an advantage than 53/47.

Probably true, and Lake did her best to antagonize them instead of unifying the party.

You can't unify people who already view you as the enemy.

Another example......

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

for anyone out there that still had any doubts about 2020 election being stolen.

they’ve become more brazen about it as they have refined the election fraud through the past two years.

No way on hell that Kari Lake would have lost this election. The massive amount of fraud needs to be exposed.

I thought the later polls had a much wider spread, like 9 or 10 ? Anyway, she didn’t lose so these types of speculations are only a self defeating line of inquiry.

That’s why RINOs are the enemy They’d rather vote for the RAT instead of Trump endorsed Lake

NOW, we are making progress.

You are correct. RINOs will always vote for the Democrat over a Republican who may possibly want to do something good.

25% - 45% of Republican voters, depending on where you live, are RINOs.

So, what does this mean? It means a MAGA movement based on the Republican Party cannot succeed. Winning GOP primaries for MAGA is easy. Getting those candidates elected (for the most part) is impossible. And Christine O'Donnell is STILL not a witch.

The question for you, for all FReepers who still believe in elections, is, where are the votes to replace the RINOs going to come from?

Hint: Trump was elected by 60 000 Democrats in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

No, not at all. Collection of polls. One of the later ones had Hobbs winning.

“Exactly. The entire State of Florida voted, counted and was done with results announced by 9:30 pm. One county in AZ is STILL counting. “

Yes, and FL has a population of 22,000,000 versus 7,000,000 in AZ.

Katie, Katie, Katie, you can play games and those games may land you in prison...

Tens of thousands of disenfranchised voters in Maricopa County.

I don’t see how this election can stand. An new election with vastly improved methods are necessary. Discard this election entire and let the people vote in person, no mail-in or drop boxes. In fact; don’t even use machines at all. Break each precinct down into smaller sizes to the ballots can be tabulated by hand and the results known that night.

Yep, in your face cheating. Only good thing, this will loosen up Kari Lake for VP position.

She will not go down without a fight.

Arr not the election officals in Maricopia County Republicans?

I don’t know the breakdown; from what I read it sounded like it is a mix of dems and Republicans, but not sure. But we know from past experience that the country club RINO segment of the party hates MAGA candidates far more than any slight distaste they may at times have for dems. In fact most of them are essentially liberal dems, thus “RINO.”

I like Lake a lot, but she's in denial or putting up a good front for her supporters.

You're full of it!

Here's the TRUTH... They’re winning because they’re harvesting millions of illegal ballots all across the country and getting them into the system to be counted. They’re not getting voters. They're HARVESTING ballots.
