Donald Trump says Kari Lake had the race for Arizona governor race stolen from her after he defeat to Democratic rival Katie Hobbs and just hours before he is set to announce his third fun for president.
Lake, a vocal MAGA supporter who backed Trump's claims of 2020 voter fraud, suffered a shock defeat to Democrat Katie Hobbs, which she also claimed was fixed.
Soon after the race was called, rather than conceding gracefully, Lake took to Twitter to say: 'Arizonans know BS when they see it.'

The person who is a contestant is also in charge of the election?! What is wrong with this picture. Plus it took a long time to add up the votes. Enough of this - republicans, you have another 2 years to fix this so we can trust elections again. Most Americans know we're worse than a Third World right now.

More and more I'm thinking the Republicans are implicit in the whole thing. It's looking more and more like we have a Uni-Party with the GOP letting the Democrats lead the charge.

I won't even read the Daily Mail if it has to do with Trump. It's like listening to a snotty second grader who needs a trip to the woodshed and never got it. BTW, today's Lucianne cartoon is BS. Trump did pretty well in the election. That should be Mitch McConnell whacking the GOP with a sign. All Trump needs to do is shut his freaking pie hole about having dirt on DeSantis.

BS. There is no way she lost this election.
Lake was a rising political force in the MAGA Party, similar to Trump but without the edges. They had to destroy her! AZ Republicans had 2 years to fix this but refused to after 2020. The Uni-Party wins again.

FTA: "Lake and Trump had pointed to temporary Election Day problems with electronic vote-counting machines in Maricopa County as evidence that Republican votes were being suppressed. A judge denied a request to extend polling place hours, saying Republicans had provided no evidence that voters were disenfranchised by the issue."
Here we go again. How do you prove a negative before it happens?

I just had a feeling it would end up this way.
The question is what will Republicans in AZ do about this?

It doesn't matter until the problem is fixed.
Stalin and Einstein prevail once again. The UniParty can win as long as both wings set the rules, control the money, and count the votes.
ONLY a new MAGA Party can fix this. The longer we delay, the more difficult it will be. Sand has just about run out of the hourglass. If Trump doesn't get behind this, it won't matter what he announces today.

If the PEOPLE is Arizona accept this, then they have precisely what they deserve. We learned in '20, DON'T WAIT FOR SOMEBODY else to "fix this". If you don't do it yourself, it won't get done. People of AZ, get up off your dead keesters and take care of business!

They did. The voters in Election Day were (by review of the rolls, not polling ) overwhelmingly Republican, with only 17% being Democrat.
Polling surveys — were consistently in favor of Lake
And yet we are supposed to believe that registered Republicans secretly broke for Hobbs, herself a bitter partisan incapable of public debate.
The mechanics of the election were overseen by Hobbs.
The mechanics included an unsupervised stop for all absentee ballots at a printing shop — including those dropped off at the polling place on Election Day — to be “scanned”. The owner of said shop is a millionaire partisan democrat mega-donor.
And that’s disregarding whatever was going on with the scanners at polling places.
The whole thing stinks.

#1,
Not saying that the same thing happened in Georgia 4 years ago... but that was exactly what Stacey Abram's complaint was. Brian Kemp was Secretary of State in Georgia and oversaw his own election.
Just saying this to be fair. If we are going to make de facto declarations that something is wrong on the face of it we need to check history to see if we have ever done the exact same thing.

I can say this if the landscape remains the same for two years, I'm not going to bother voting. Peter Buttigieg will beat Donald Trump and won't even have to debate him or leave his 'happy home' to campaign. Those voting machines that count one in ten votes for republicans need to be gathered up and dumped in the ocean. Voter rolls purged, no paper ballots with drop boxes, voter ID and one day to vote not an 'election season' that goes on for weeks until a democrat wins. If this doesn't happen my vote I stood in line to cast will just be canceled by ten, twenty maybe a hundred undated ballots with dead people's names on them. We can give this lip service for two years doing nothing to fix the 'cheat' plain and simple.

The republicans in Ga. better start gathering votes and ballots for Walker. Truck them in from other states and be ready to use them after the dems finish the count. Only way to beat the dems,.cheat better

Gov. Ducey sat back and never lifted a finger to stop the steal and force Hobbs to recuse her corrupt butt from the over sight control of the office that secures and calls the shots for election security. Just another establishment scheme ran on schedule.

The media, including Fox, keep chirping that Trump hurt the candidates he supported and himself for continuing to claim what we know is the absolute truth about the 2020 election. They cheated! They cheated! They cheated! Now it's true for 2022 because all of the "wise" people ignored the facts.

Last week, all the votes being counted were breaking 70-30 for Lake and Masters.
What happened?
Silly me. I forgot. All those Democrats showed up with the ballot boxes in their trunks.
Any election that takes a week or more to count the votes is suspect. And that goes for that unconstitutional ranked choice voting in Alaska and Maine. It basically violates the one-man, one-vote rule. Because if my guy finishes 3rd or 4th, I get another vote (my second choice) and the poor slob that voted for the #1 or #2 vote getter gets nothing. It's like getting a second bite of the apple. Or voting in Chicago, where multiple voting was perfected.

As long as there is a 'process' for mail in votes and ballot drop boxes, the democrats will be able to arrange a delay to manufacture, I mean count, votes.

I don't understand how anyone could choose a hard-eyed Karen with the requisite sensible bob, frown, and graying hair who never campaigned, somehow had the job of counting the votes which is a massive conflict of interest, and looks like she's fixing to call the management on you, over the quick-witted and obviously intelligent Kari Lake.

Since 1854, the existence of RINOs has been well established; however, If there truly is a Uniparty, why do the democrats need to cheat?
Republicans used to be called "the party of Lincoln." Who is the sainted figurehead of the Uniparty? Are Shumer, Warren, and Sanders, to name a few, members of the Uniparty or is that label restricted only to Republicans? If only Republicans, wouldn't that be synonymous with RINOs?
