Getting to the bottom of the Maricopa County voting fraud:
“Election Day in Arizona included real problems in
Maricopa County, home to Phoenix and more than half the state’s population. But it simply isn’t believable that these snafus cost
Ms. Lake the election
. How did she perform in Maricopa specifically, compared with other Republicans?
Ms. Lake received 77,342 fewer votes than GOP state Treasurer Kimberly Yee.
Lake lost the entire state-wide election by 17K votes.
Ms. Lake received 39,165 fewer votes than the combined GOP U.S. House candidates.
Ms. Lake received 23,901 fewer votes than GOP county prosecutor Rachel Mitchell.
These figures are especially striking because voter interest wanes down the ballot. Compared with the Governor’s race, 78,000 fewer people voted for local prosecutor. Yet Ms. Mitchell still won more raw ballots than Ms. Lake.
If granular numbers tell the story better, the Arizona Republic points to a Maricopa precinct called Bayshore,
where it says Republicans have an 11-point registration advantage. The state’s three Trumpiest politicians all lost the precinct. Ms. Lake garnered 2,003 votes. Senate aspirant Blake Masters took 1,911. Secretary of State nominee Mark Finchem had 1,877.
Ms. Yee won Bayshore with 2,229 votes, 11% more than Ms. Lake. Ms. Mitchell earned 2,080. A GOP state Senator had 2,120. The takeaway?
Ms. Lake would have won if she hadn’t alienated mainstream Republicans. But she called John McCain a “loser” and echoed President Trump’s debunked 2020 fraud claims. Some GOP voters don’t want a Governor who will say almost anything for a pat on the head from Mr. Trump.”
“Ms. Lake’s argument is that fed-up voters left the line or even stayed home. Perhaps some did, Democrats included: After all, Governor-elect Katie Hobbs won Maricopa, 51.1% to 48.6%. But
how can Ms. Lake blame no-shows for her loss, when other GOP candidates in Maricopa outran her by tens of thousands of votes? “
Net, Kari Lake is a bad Trump joke on the Republican Party.
If the election was a ‘sham,’ how did other Republicans win?
