Election fraud was already a concern for the base of the Republican party in this election. The Republican legislature passed legislation to refine the voting process, but the outgoing Republican governor vetoed it, which made the situation even more suspect. Kari Lake basically ran on cleaning up election fraud.

Her opponent barely campaigned in comparison to Lake. She wouldn't debate Kari Lake. The polls, which notoriously underrepresent Republicans, predicted a win for Lake. On the day of elections, voting machines go out disproportionately affecting 10's of thousands of Republican voters who are told to put their ballots in a box to be removed from site and counted at a different location. That failure resulted in ridiculous wait times (which if you recall, is voter disenfranchisement, according to Dems), and a judge ruled that the polls couldn't stay open longer.

3 days after election day, AZ had only counted 70% of the votes. That's absurd. The request that Hobbs recuse herself from overseeing the election is denied, which, all by itself creates the appearance of impropriety.

Here's some interesting numbers: 200,000 more people voted in this election than last one in Maricopa County alone. Coincidentally, Hobbs got all 200k of those votes. Lake slightly underperformed Doucey, but their numbers were basically the same. Just so we're clear, that means only Democrats turned out in higher numbers? Lol, ok. The population in that county has only grown by 200k since 2018, so it's not like it's just Californians moving there.

Every time you get into the numbers you start seeing shady stuff like this. It would be one thing if you saw Lake taking massive dives in numbers from the previous year, but you don't. And, I know you want to believe everything you're told, but normally if you see a bump in voting numbers, the entirety of that bump doesn't go to one party. It just doesn't.... at least not without some sort of explanation (like Hispanics turning in FL).
