Kari Lake threatens Governor-Elect Katie Hobbs over election results

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

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."

It wasn't even close you fucking idiot.

1. But one glitch feeds the perception built by these morons.

[Trenzalore]

2. It wouldn't matter if there was a glitch

They would have created one.

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

[Cha]

9. So?

[msongs]

3. don't see anything where she threatens hobbs nt

[Takket]

12. its hidden in the article. had to click the "continue reading" link to show it

"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."

14. Sounds like Kari sells pillows on the side

Kari, do guns smoke after sex? So you’re going to sit down and make a mockery of your sacred vote?

[calimary]

19. Who the hell does she think she is, anyway? Mrs. donald trump?

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.

32. It'll be the biggest, most fantastical, stupendous lawsuit anyone has ever seen

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.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

4. Yeah that was lame ... 'teased filing lawsuits' is not really 'threatening', it's clickbait bs (nt)

[GoodRaisin]

5. Threatens what?

Turns out, nothing.

[Trenzalore]

6. I know there are shifting demographics

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.

[Cha]

7. Tough Fascist Shite, LOSER Lake..

nobody wants your GD concession.

The People choose the Leaders NOT you.

I borrowed that from Gov Elect Josh Shapiro.

[magicarpet]

8. What does the Pillow Guy say ?

Does he think it was a fair and free election ?

I trust his judgment.

[Septua]

10. The "If I don't win, the election is fraudulent" mentality...

..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.

[dchill]

11. So. The office of Governor is yours to keep if you don't concede?

If at first you don't concede, try, try again.

[Me.]

13. She Lost

Hobbs won by votes and not by unnecessary concessions.

[BBbats]

15. Just The Beginning!

Dress rehearsal for the 2024 Presidential election.

[tishaLA]

16. A slight correction to that article

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

[Deuxcents]

17. Oh.. stfu.. we're sick n tired of this tactic. You lost. Fade away

[David__77]

18. What a pillowcase.

…

[Orrex]

20. Catapult her into the sun

[Tommymac]

21. Lake Lost. Boo Hoo. So sad. Not. Time to stop covering this wacko.

She is irrelevant.

[Grins]

22. So sad. Only won by 17,000 votes.

Should have a crap-ton more.

23. A haiku for Kari Lake

[bullwinkle428]

24. I LOVE IT!!!

[AZLD4Candidate]

25. mohave county doesn't surprise me. That's Gosar's area my mother calls the Nazi North

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).

[Kali]

26. Cochise is not even. there are pockets like Bisbee and parts of Douglas, Sierra Vista

but this county is red for sure.

[AZLD4Candidate]

27. I remember my father when he was volunteering at the food bank

had run ins with so many trumpers. I thought it was just Benson.

[Kali]

28. it is mixed, not all trumpers but def the majority

and even a few old style 'normal' repukes around too. LOL

[AZLD4Candidate]

30. KNST's key audience with that racist scumbag in the morning and those two Limbaugh clowns

that replaced his dead ass. I noticed when I lived there the last two years before going overseas again they dropped the Savage Weiner for the walking hyperbole in Glenn Beck and the high pitched voice of insanity, Mark Levin.

29. Shear the flock

I’m willing to bet, she’ll start fundraising on some kind of Stop the Steal BS. Let’s face it, she’s going to figure out how to grift the cultists,

[AZLD4Candidate]

31. Trust me. She already knows how. Listen to her campaign. She just stroked their prejudices

and their intolerance.
