Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake said she is collecting evidence about potential election fraud after she lost the 2022 governors race to Democrat and Arizonas current Secretary of State Katie Hobbs.
Lake posted a video to Twitter captioned Arizona, we are still in the fight.
In the video, Lake told her supporters that the fight isnt over and that she is collecting evidence against what she called the broken-election system in Arizona.
For two years, Ive been sounding the alarm about our broken-election system here in Arizona. And this past week has confirmed everything we have been saying, Lake said, claiming that, The fox was guarding the henhouse.

However, Megan Gilbertson, the communications director for the Maricopa Elections Department, said Arizona election officials were dedicated to making sure all votes were secure, saying: We have a well-oiled machine here in Maricopa County and really dedicated election officials that are working hard to make sure that the vote is secure, counted accurately and that we can provide the results to the public.
Lake claimed the elections in Arizona were unfair after multiple issues at polling locations on Election Day with tabulating machines and printers. She claimed that malfunctioning tabulation machines forced voters to wait in line for hours in order to exercise their right to vote.
Our election officials failed us miserably, Lake said. What happened on Election Day is unforgivable.
On Election Day, Maricopa County voters found themselves facing issues with machines at some polling places failing to scan completed ballots. Election officials moved to correct the problem and voters were allowed to place their ballots in a secure drop box to be counted once the issue was resolved or cast their votes at a different polling place. There has been no widespread evidence of election fraud reported in Arizonas 2022 election.
In the weeks leading up to the election, Arizona faced problems with voter intimidation, including armed individuals at ballot drop boxes. Election workers also found themselves on the receiving end of threats and harassment.
Lake and Hobbs were at the center of the state race that gained national attention. Lake ran on a platform elevating claims spread by former President Donald Trump that the 2020 election was stolen. Lake, a former news anchor, took a hardline stance on such issues as immigration, crime and the teaching of critical race theory in schools.
Decision Desk HQ projected Hobbs to win Arizonas 2022 governor race Monday. But Lake was far from conciliatory on social media Monday night.
Lake tweeted out in response, claiming that Arizonans know BS when they see it.

We all saw how well oiled the machines were, about the same as 2020, and Hobb’s dedicated election officials making sure the election is secured for the democratic candidates, not Lake and Masters. Paper ballots cast only on election day, and hand counted is the solution…
WE ALL KNOW IT.. BUT even IF the republicans some how pull out a win down there, with the remaining races, i honestly believe the ROT IS SO INGRAINED in the election offices, that UNTIL EVERYONE working there, is fired, and the whole thing burned to the ground. THEN rebuilt, that NOTHING will change.
In Florida Miami – Dade county use to have in every close election, Ballots were mysteriously found in motel rooms, closets and even trunks of cars and of course the losing Democrats demanded that those mysteriously found ballots be counted.
This continued until Florida Miami – Dade county fired the supervisor of elections, then it stopped. No more mysteriously found ballots.
The Democrat Party has found a better way to manipulate elections. It is the voting machines and still have corrupt dedicated election officials
As i always say, ITS WHO COUNTS the votes that matters..
It worked for the democraps in 2020, and it worked for them again in 2022. It will continue to work for them in 2024 if the Arizona legislature doesn’t get off it’s hind end, and change the way elections are run in Arizona, and the way votes are accepted, and counted. The same can be said for pennsylvania, georgia, nevada, alaska, wisconsin, and michigan. Democrap controlled polling places, and democrap controlled vote counting will ALWAYS result in democrap wins. Their brazen arrogance makes me puke!
If the same or very similar machines that were used in 2020 were used in 2022 and those machines were manufactured by the same company or aby the same sub-contractor, yes we do have a problem. Need to have everyone involved including Lake/Hobbs swear under oath with consequences of perjury that they had nothing to do with the acquisition/use/movement from one place to another/or direct/indirect contact with the machines or personnel in charge of them. This should include the highest official at every point in-between. Time consuming yes but the integrity of all officials and honest results means a lot for democracy as being cried out every by this administration.
SINCE the left controls the DOJ, even if they DID GET caught perjuring themselves, do you honestly expect them to get punished??

If only.
