Lake Lost Because Nearly 40,000 Maricopa County Voters Cast Ballots for Other GOP Candidates...
Kari Lake Lost Because Nearly 40,000 Maricopa County Voters Cast Ballots for Other GOP Candidates, But Not Herhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/kari-lake-lost-because-nearly-40-000-maricopa-county-voters-cast-ballots-for-other-gop-candidates-but-not-her/ar-AA16Dhdh?pc=U483&cvid=cec7767d01454da5a34cfc0afe7467dc
Kari Lake, the Trump-backed Republican candidate who lost the 2022 Arizona governor’s race to Democrat Katie Hobbs, fell short because tens of thousands of Maricopa County voters cast ballots for other Republicans, but not her, according to a report by the Arizona Republic.
***snip***
Still, the Maricopa County printer issues were the subject of an Election Day lawsuit by Lake, the Arizona Republican Party, and several other GOP candidates and organizations, seeking to extend voting hours, and then an election challenge by Lake. Both lawsuits failed, and Hobbs was sworn in as governor on Jan. 2, 2023.
That has not stopped Lake from continuing to insist she won the election, calling herself the “duly-elected governor of Arizona” and posting tweets through this weekend claiming she “won.”
But according to the Republic, Lake’s loss boils down to the fact that she alienated vast swaths of her fellow Republicans, pointing to a recent analysis of the public voting records to identify the “disaffected voters” who support the majority of candidates from one political party but cast a vote for the opposing party in a specific race.

Absolutely. Happened in a lot of states.
They'll never admit that the Big Lie kept them out of office.
