Kari Lake threatens Governor-Elect Katie Hobbs over election results

Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake is refusing to concede her loss to Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who defeated Lake in the November 8th election by 17,116 votes.

Lake, who had the backing of former President Donald Trump and claimed throughout the campaign that fraud would taint the results of the race, has teased filing lawsuits to challenge the outcome. According to the Arizona Capitol Times, no formal legal action has yet been taken.

Two counties – Cochise and Mojave – have delayed certification of Hobbs' victory, based on unfounded conspiracy theories about ballot-counting machines and unsubstantiated claims of disenfranchisement. Lake's focus, however, has been on Maricopa County, the most populous in the Grand Canyon State where there were glitches and errors with electronic equipment.

"The county’s top elections officials have acknowledged that 70 of the county’s 223 voting centers experienced the printing issue but deny that any citizen was denied an opportunity to vote," The Hill pointed out on Tuesday. But, the publication noted, "election officials say voters could wait in line until the issue was fixed, cast a ballot at another vote center or deposit their original ballot in a separate, secure box that was sent to the county’s central facility for tabulation."

They would have created one.

There was nothing wrong with the 2020 election in most states.

"They're dragging their feet. They don't want to give us this information so we're asking the courts to force them to give us information," Lake said. "This is not our main case. When our main case drops, they will hear it. Trust me. They will hear it. And they better think really hard before Ducey and Hobbs sign their John Hancock to that certification. They better think long and hard about what they know about what happened in this election. Because when we drop our lawsuit, they will hear it. We have whistleblowers coming forward and at least one smoking gun in it. And we will not stand here and make a mockery of our sacred vote."

Lake should go back to TV anchoring, to keep her name and face in front of the public. She photographs well, on first look. But she doesn’t wear well, and now she’s just another Sore Loserman. In a nauseatingly continuing series.

just big and powerful and strong. People will be crying when they see it...I mean, big, powerful, muscular men with big dicks will just fall apart with tears in their eyes, on their knees when this lawsuit drops.

It will, probably, be filed on Tuesday, we'll see.

but do you know how badly the GOP has to screw up that there are two democratic senators and a sweep on statewide offices in Barry Goldwater's home state.

..will sooner or later become accepted as 'the song sung by sore losers'. The overall results of the 2022 elections pretty much confirms people are tired of hearing it.

Is that she didn't claim "throughout the campaign that fraud would taint the results of the race," exactly; she claimed that fraud would taint the results if she lost. If she won, of course, it all would have been above board

Cochise County does in a way, since Cochise county is evenly mixed, but controlled by rabid AM radio listening trump lickers.

But who cares? Maricopa and Pima are where 80% of the people are. Yuma went red (predicted. Too many trumpers in the fortuna foothills). Pinal went red (expected). Coconino went blue (expected).
