Kari Lake Appears to Be Gearing Up For a Legal Fight in Arizona to Contest Chaotic, Glitchy Election


It’s been more than two days since the Associated Press called the governor’s race in Arizona for Democrat Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, but Republican spitfire Kari Lake is showing no sign of conceding the election.

She reacted with defiance, in fact, when the AP called the race for Hobbs, Monday night: “Arizonans know BS when they see it,” she tweeted.


The former news anchor currently trails Hobbs by about 18,000 votes, 49.7 percent to 50.3 percent, with 99 percent reporting. For the past week, the Lake campaign has urged potentially disenfranchised Republican voters to check and see if their votes were counted, and to “cure” their votes if they were not. The deadline for curing votes in Arizona was Nov.16 at 5:00 pm.

Ballot curing under Arizona law allows voters with inconsistent signatures or no signatures on their early ballot to fix their ballots.

According to the New York Times, Lake is currently working with other Republican state campaigns to prepare a legal fight. Lake didn’t immediately respond to an American Greatness query about her next move, but her campaign appears to be making the case that the chaotic and poorly-run Arizona election disenfranchised Republican voters.

For the past week, Lake’s campaign has been collecting video testimonials that can be used in court.

One poll watcher who was stationed at the Eldorado Community Center in Scottsdale from 6:00 am to 1:00 pm on Nov. 8, explained in a video that things were running smoothly until a county technician showed up at around 11:30 am to check the voting equipment. After that, he said, the tabulators started malfunctioning.

“We started experiencing issues with tabulators not accepting voters’ ballots,” he explained.

These voters were told to reenter their ballots four different ways in the original tabulator, then if all failed, do the same thing in the second tabulator. Then if it failed again, go back to the first tabulator and try again. If all 12 attempts failed, they were given the choice of spoiling their ballot, having another printed, fill out their ballot again, and then try submitting them into the tabulators again.

He noted that the whole process took over 30 minutes, on top of the hour plus they had spent in line. “They’re only other option was to place their ballot in drawer number 3,” he explained.

The poll watcher said that between 11:30 and noon, approximately 10 percent of all of the ballots were failing, and between noon and 12:30, approximately 20 percent of the ballots were failing. By 1:00, he said, “four out of every ballots were failing.”

“I’ll never forget the look on these affected voters’ faces,” he added. “They were in disbelief that our system of voting was failing them en masse on the most important election day of the 2022 cycle. In the 44 years I have been voting—99 percent which was in person—I have never experienced such chaos, confusion, and voter suppression.”

  1. The real question is does any judge have the balls to allow this to move to the court system! I would bet my last dollar that any judges that could be involved has already received a visit. This was the whole purpose for the hit put on the boyfriend of the Georgia’s Governors daughter in 2020. Engines don’t get blown 150 away from a vehicle involved in a crash.
