A large majority of Republicans showed up election day to vote in Arizona, Kari Lake and all the other Republicans urged them to follow this policy, nothing like creating a single point of failure in the voting process because strangely the machines in Republican precincts didn’t work.
Would Kari Lake have won is this didn’t happen, that is debatable, but it could not have hurt her chances that’s for sure.
You combine that with her telling McCain Voters to “Get the hell out” during some of her rallies was not smart, 2 unforced errors on the part of Lake and the other Republicans.
Exactly, Lake underestimated the treachery of Hobbs. By knowing when and where the Lake votes were coming it made it easy to sabotage them. Lake had a 10-12% lead, dissing the McCain a-holes was not why she lost, it was the rigged machines
