January 1, Governor Candidate Calls Arizona’s Election Process a “Laughingstock”

Published

on

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1969: An estimated 2 million people take part in the Vietnam War Moratorium Demonstration across the United States.

Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake deemed her state’s election process a “laughingstock.”

Lake’s comments came during a Sunday appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” as her race against Democrat Katie Hobbs still has yet to be called.

“I consider someone’s vote their voice. I think of it as a sacred vote. And it’s being trampled the way we run our elections in Arizona. I have been sounding the alarm for two years. Nothing got done. Very little got done last legislative session. And we need to get in there and restore faith in our elections,” Lake said.

“We can’t be the laughingstock of elections anymore here in Arizona. And, when I’m governor, I will not allow it. I just won’t,” she added.

With 93% of the votes counted as of Monday afternoon, Hobbs was leading Lake by just one percentage point. NBC News estimated that 174,442 ballots have yet to be counted.

“It’s embarrassing. It’s wrong. And we need people who are competent running our elections. This incompetency or maladministration is outrageous. And I think the good thing is that more people are waking up to the fact that Arizona has real troubles when it comes to elections,” Lake said. 

“But I’m willing to wait until every vote is counted … I think every candidate should wait until every vote is counted,” she added.

Lake, who earned an endorsement from former President Donald Trump, said that Arizona election workers were “incompetent” and alleged that they were deliberately elongating the process.

Bill Gates, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman, called Lake’s remarks “offensive.”

“It’s really sad to hear that we have the Republican nominee for governor here in Arizona who is talking like that,” Gates told CNN.

“I understand that Kari Lake wants us to move quickly and a lot of people do, but you know what’s more important? That this is done accurately,” he added.

    Kary Lake will not win the Arizona governor seat period. The Democrat thieves in collaboration with some other republican trash decided long ago, about two years ago , who will win Arizona
    The tactics are played by the book. Delay the Count down, see how many votes are for the republican and Democrat candidate and make up the diffrence to win
    Note that the diffrence will be minimal to not rouse suspicion and after, that block any attempt to check out what happened.
    Do you think that the thieves in Arizona will let Lake win so she can overhaul the election process which is designed to work for them only?
    Do you think that they will
    alow Kary to win so she can dig in to how come a Democrat senator who is responsible for open borders, thousand of pounds of phentanol crossing the border and kills thousand of our children to be reelected eagains a republican who stands for what is right,?
    The thieves will win alright, the question is what the people will do about it. They will have to do it quickly and strongly to send a clear message that they won’t have this happening again and again. If the people will do nothing and the entire republican party will treat this like they did the 2020 election ,they will not get to be at the helm of the country ever.

      Tha, when you have a bunch of men in skirts that bark a lot, but do nothing, this is what you get in 2 more years. The low life dirt bags that stole the 5 states and caught red handed are still not in jail. all you needed was a 7 year old to investigate the facts and all had their heads up their as. If nothing is done AGAIN, you will have another dead brain demo rat runniung the country into a one world order, but it’s our second amendment that will save America, saying that, if and when it comes down to that, all politicians and I said all need to be held accountable and made an example of, until then expect something like a bad case of covid coming your way

      I believe because the democrats line up with this one world government they’re pushing. They’ll do anything they can even steal an election. As a party , democrats are bankrupt of what is good and moral , when Antichrist in their demeanor and stand. Evil, evil and evil. Only Jesus Christ can bring a true revolution to this lost and sinful nation . The one who died for the sins of the world, resurrected from the dead to conquer death

        Robert, to a point you are correct. When good men do nothing, that’s when you worry about the Lord, God gave everyone a brain, the problem is you do not need a brain to figure out the dirt bag dems are doing, but it’s way over due to hold dirt bags accountable, biden was an illegal vp also

    The dems have used their system to many times and now we know how they do it. In 14 out of 1`7 races within the last few election cycles Arizona and Nevada have slowed down the election process so they can determine what is going to be needed to accomplish their task for their idea of who should win the election. Why do they refer the areas in question republican strong holds when in the last 2 election cycles they have mysteriously went to the democrat candidate? 11 of the 17 races were in heavily solid so called republican strong holds. One race in particular the democrat needed 63% of the vote to win and MYSTERIOSLY got 64% Now is that a con job or what? Election suppression starts in those 2 states and nothing is being done to get it right.

    Look they did it again demonrats stole another election! There is no way any of them won their race. It was stolen. Now as Americans we need to hold them all accountable for high crimes I want them all arrested and tried for their crimes so get the local police involved and file reports for them to arrest these criminals we all want a new vote for all states no machines and no drop boxes no mail ballots we want a new election to take place. This is wrong and corruption is still taking place in these states. No more we can’t allow this to happen.

    I’m from Pa. where John Fetterman waited until millions of early mail-in ballots were cast before the televised debate and voters actually got to see what they had voted for. Now we’re stuck with “Fetterneck” for six years. He is an embarrassment to Pennsylvania.

    The people in Arizona are the only ones who can enforce voter integrity. There’s been so many complaints that they need to step up & do what’s right.

    Some of you have it wrong. Hobbs is not the Gov of AZ. She’s the SOS (Secretary of State) who so happens to be the person overseeing the election. Can we say: ” The Fox is watching the hen-house”. This is absolutely insane that a person who is in the running to be overseeing it.
