In 2022, Kari Lake’s run for Governor of Arizona was marred by blatant ballot and voter shenanigans, particularly in Maricopa County. Now that she has allegedly been beaten in her U.S. Senate run by disgraced Democrat Ruben Gallego, even more concerns over election integrity are starting to pop up.
Unfortunately, most in conservative and even alternative media are currently ignoring this story. But as is often the case, we’re highlighting the story here in hopes that others will pick up the ball.
Let’s look at some facts. First and foremost, the discrepancy between the Presidential race the Senate race is huge. Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris by nearly 200,000 votes, over 6-points. Lake allegedly lost by 45,000 votes, or 1.5%. While there can definitely be variations between a Senate and Presidential candidate, Lake and Trump are practically in lockstep on nearly every issue. It’s extremely unlikely that a quarter million Arizonans voted for Trump AND Gallego on the same ballot.
You can’t make this make sense!
The Senate race was just called for Ruben Gallego, who apparently received MORE votes than Kamala Harris in the State.

So, Donald Trump got 150,000 more votes than Trump-backed candidate @KariLake. Lake got nearly 40,000 more votes than Kamala Harris.
BUT Dem. senate candidate Ruben Gallego got 45,000 more than Lake? And he got 80,000 more than Harris?

Then, there’s the strange ballot drops magically appeared after the deadline. In any state that runs fair elections, this would ring alarm bells. Unfortunately, Arizona is notorious as one of the most corrupt states when it comes to election integrity.
JUST IN: Arizona's Pima and Yuma counties appear to have added 22,816 votes following Election Day.
A US appeals court just ruled that counting ballots AFTER the election is ILLEGAL.
Do you support the Trump administration opening an investigation into the last two elections? https://t.co/eV5Z6FffoW

According to Jim Hoft from The Gateway Pundit:
Election officials in Arizona are once again changing the ballot totals as the US Senate Seat has yet to be called.
President Trump won the state 52.7% to 46.4% over Kamala Harris.
But the officials in Arizona want you to believe that a majority of Arizona voters voted for Trump, and then a majority voted for the open borders communist Ruben Gallego, the son of a cartel attorney.
The Kari Lake campaign fired off a letter on Friday to Pima County officials after they were caught changing the ballot totals this week!
Then, there’s the election official in Maricopa County, the state’s largest, who declared that he wants to “make life hell” for Kari Lake. He happens to be in charge of county the ballots.
According to the Daily Mail, Stephen Richer’s animus toward Lake was revealed in the transcript of a June 21 deposition in which he was asked about a communication with a friend.
“And your response if kind of a laundry list here of bullet points: Get out of politics permanently; get out of politics temporarily; run for reelection as a Republican; run for reelection as an independent; run for mayor if no Kate; and then finally run for U.S. Sen, just to fly the flag for real conservatism and make life hell for Kari,” the lawyer questioning Richer said. “Did I read that correctly?”
“Yes,” Richer replied.
“Why would you want to make life hell for Kari Lake in March of 2023?” Richer was asked.
“I don’t remember,” Richer said. “I don’t think she’s a real conservative.”
Skeptics may question why Trump was allowed to win but not Lake. With Arizona’s notoriously late ballot counting status, the presidency had already been secured by Trump before half the ballots were counted in Arizona. It made no sense to risk national attention by having questionable vote counts hit that race.
Lake is insanely popular in Arizona with support that is very similar to Trump’s. For her to lose when Trump won the state by a good margin is unfathomable. But it’s Arizona, and in Arizona elections are swayed by those who count the votes. Unfortunately for Lake, the people counting the votes hate her.
