With ballots continuing to be counted in various counties around Arizona, specifically including the corrupt county of Maricopa, Republican candidate Kari Lake has extended her lead beyond the ability of Arizona election officials to remove it. The Associated Press calls the race for Kari Lake.
PHOENIX (AP) — Kari Lake, a former news anchor who walked away from her journalism career and was embraced by Donald Trump and his staunch supporters, won the Republican primary for Arizona governor on Thursday.
Lake’s victory was a blow to the GOP establishment that lined up behind lawyer and businesswoman Karrin Taylor Robson in an attempt to push their party past the chaotic Trump era. Lake said she would not have certified President Joe Biden’s 2020 victory and put false claims of election fraud at the center of her campaign.
“The MAGA movement rose up like their lives depended on it,” Lake said as she declared victory prematurely on Wednesday afternoon, a day before the race was called, using an acronym for Trump’s Make America Great Again movement. “And it proved that you can’t buy an election, at least not in Arizona. We the people rose up and spoke.”
Robson, who is married to one of Arizona’s richest men, largely self-funded her campaign. She called the 2020 election “unfair” but stopped short of calling it fraudulent and pushed for the GOP to look toward the future.
[…] Former Vice President Mike Pence, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie all campaigned for Robson in the days before the election. (read more)
rock n roll!
Lake’s victory creates an interesting general election contest: the candidate who alleges the 2020 election was rigged against the candidate who was in the best position to oversee the rigging.
Here’s predicting Lake cleans the rigger’s clock.
Apparently, they can only cheat so much anymore. They have to know if you push the election fraud too far the pitchforks will come out. Hope this is one of many deserved victories for MAGA.
The good people of AZ are armed with more advanced technology than pitch forks.
Yup, pitchforks are old school…..but they get the job done.
On Politico…
Kari Lake got the check mark at apprx 7:15pm with 89.8% completion
At apprx 7:25pm the completion% went backwards to 88.2%
https://www.politico.com/2022-election/results/arizona/
just sayn, Its now at 88.3% as of 7:30pm
Also, I documented how Mojave County flipped from being 100% complete Twice. 100% to 91% yesterday and from 100% to now at 79% today.
We better keep prayin’ then!!
Post office is still finding ballots. A fight is still ahead.
They shouldn’t be since AZ supposedly only counts ballots rec’d by the time the polls close?
They are going to continue to cheat
They will demand a recount as it gets closer
Evil never sleeps
Great news, however Fox News has already called the AZ General for Katie Hobbs and the 2024 Presidential election in AZ for Biden.
Are you serious? Cuz at this point, I’d believe it.
Which Biden? Hunter?
You’re a shoo-in for the next editor of the Babylon Bee.
Fox is no longer hiding the fact that they are on the dark side
Mike Pence hardest hit.
I’d like to say he got kicked in the testicles but we all know he doesn’t have any.
Doesn’t look like Pence is gonna get a lot of traction in his candidacy if he can’t back candidates that can win. But, do you think it will stop him?
Pence is looking for a payday.
A seldom remembered fact is that pols can walk away w any excess $$$ in their campaign war chest.
Dems will load up Pence’s 2024 campaign war chest will 10s of millions $$$.
Yes…big payoff
NOT….they did away with that feature about 8 years ago….in fact you had a spate of retirements before it took effect so some of the scumbags could walk with excess campaign cash
Very interesting – I may have to scribble this into my list of “seminal events.”
A thought occurs. If the candidate can’t pocket it – who can? Where does it go?
Oh gentle Treeper reader, yesterday, I said something about a well placed knee…and begged for forgiveness in advance!
If he even had only one….
Burn in hell, Pence!
Shove it TRAITOR PENCE! Go Kari!
YES!!!!!
For all the whining from naysayers, I was correct that Kari would NOT BE DENIED.
Go Kari!!
So happy and so grateful!
Go Kari!
They tried and tried and tried more. But public opinion was not kind toward them. And still isn’t and will never be until a profound reform is undertaken. This election just made it worse for them. The first item on the agenda for Kari Lake should be election/vote-related. Bring back integrity. It can’t come soon enough. MAGA !!
I believe she had commented on acting in favor of election integrity.
She could easily say both sides are saying people are losing trust in elections, but she is willing to act on it rather than ignore it in favor of “moving forward/looking past…yada yada yada”.
Kari was 10 percent behind on the first voter drop. She won 70 percent to 30 percent on same day votes to overcome the deficit. That is huge and I think the Rinos just did not cheat enough on the early voting to overcome it. Mail in voting has to go.
Meghan McCain was tweeting ridicule about Kari and calling for her to concede after that first drop.
Take note the Laura Ingraham was all in for her corrupt GOPe friend Karrin. Laura has no principles or integrity as she gave biased coverage of the election and results and did not disclose her friendship with Karrin.
And let us not forget 57 year old Karrin married her 91 year old billionaire husband in 2017 for love (not to buy her a political career) and yet people trashed Anna Nicole Smith.
OmG on the 91yo husband. That tells you her character.
And the 91 year old husband was a scumbag to boot. Robsons have been establishment real estate developer RINOs in AZ for fifty years. All I needed to hear was that last name .. Robson. And I knew who I had to vote for
What??????
Thank goodness I disregarded “Talking Heads” long ago. I do not care what they say or don’t say. They would all be broke if they depended on me.
Looks like he graduated college in 1954.
So…..yup.

Last night 8/3/22 Laura Ingraham announced Karrin Robson had won and caught a lot of flak on this site for not disclosing her close relationship with Robson.
Tonight 8/4/22 Laura spent her entire ANGLE monologue on Pres. Trump’s America First Policy and the Dems flailing attempts to keep him out of another term.
She also interviewed Lauren Boebert and Donalds at CPAC.
Then she announced the Breaking News that tonight the AP has called Arizona for Kari Lake.
Perhaps she’s trying to make up to the Trump supporters…
We have long memories. She went all in on the 2020 election and how Biden won. Controlled opposition. I watched her during the Covid BS when she covered hydroxycloroquine and not masking or closing schools, she was great. Also the summer riots. She covered Trump’s rallies and was great. But then the election happened and I never looked back
Yes, I think Robson was pushed to be the ridiculous candidate in contest with Katie Hobbs (current SOS in charge of elections in AZ) so that Katie would win handily in the General. It would have been Katie’s reward for the shenanigans she helped pull off during the 2020 election. Robson would have walked away having pocketed some campaign finances, as well as getting her soon-to-be-late husband’s fortune, as her own payment.
i BELIEVE With THIS SLAP in The FACE of MACHIAVELLIAN POLITICAL THEORY ( and POSSIBLE TRUTH ),
I’ll Go to The Cabinet and POUR A STIFF BOURBON
to TOAST the WIN and the THEORY of ” Fringe Dweller ” !
…you wrote SOS instead of POS for Hobbs title by mistake.
Ever night when she goes to bed, she feels old age creeping up on her.
That is really funny
Kinda creepy…
😂🤣
I spewed my drink all over my screen and keyboard. Damn that was funny, but what a mess!
Laura also has a really bad plastic surgeon.
Oh Dear God, Thank You! 🙂
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen!
Ditto the phoenix!
For some reason, I can upvote some comments, but not others?
If I could upvote you a thousand times, know that I would!

FANTASTIC!
$30 million establishment dollars vs just over $3million in Deplorables small contributions. Money didn’t buy this contest.
Lets the corruptocons know MAGA can’t be bought. ☺️
“All aboard the Trump Train…Next stop Wyoming!”
Wyoming trains have the American Flag painted on them. Very cool.
You have to vote in overwhelming numbers and have as much vigilance as possible to compensate for the cheating. At least a portion of the cheating.
It may not make a difference everywhere because of different degrees of effective fraud each state swamp can get away with. But in some places at least they can be neutralized.
And hopefully momentum can be contagious and bring more pro active engagement.
Yes, the masses voting is our weapon.
Yep, this just shows what could have happened in GA, if the people wanted it badly enough. We all need to follow AZ’s model.
I hope PDJT runs a similar campaign and asks his voters to vote in person.
Not only is AZ a red state, we are a “red hot mad “state after 2020
Whew! I was afraid the steal was on.
They were trying, but Lake’s 70%-30% game day vote margins were too big for even Maricopa County to overcome.
It was, but AZ conservatives listened to Lake, voted in person and ruled the day(s)!
Oh, the steal was definitely on, but they just couldn’t pull it off.
It was and still is. Problem for them is they thought they could chisel away at Lakes votes . Lake voters brought jack hammers on Election Day.
I would like to add, that many of us, in all counties, brought our own pens. We do not have short memories. I think that messed up their adjudication rate.
kari’s hot, pence’s puppet is NOT
OUTSTANDING! Now it’s on to the general and the November shootout at the OK Corral.
Precisely!
And consider that DEMS will much more likely commit fraud in the election rather than risking all to commit overt fraud in a Republican primary.
Keep in mind that this 36-hour delay is meant to seem like a new normal, and therefore it will be repeated in November, when they will not shrink from massive fraud a la 2020!
Only a great MAGA turn-out and extreme vigilance to hinder the fraud will prevent another theft!
Plus, they have incentive to commit fraud with the Senate race as well. Go Blake Masters
Karrin goons were quick to pressure Kari to concede. Did they concede now? USD 18 million can only get so far. What a waste.
Next we get the one I want to see bite the dust.. lizzie chaney.. FJB
So far this turning out to be a great birthday month, let’s keep it rolling t0 2024!
Happy birthday Mob!
Happy 🎂 Birthday. Be blessed with many more.
Sorry meant to go to MOB
So when is Arizona going to actually finish counting? Helen Keller could have finished a hand count by now!
Big loss for the GOPe. Take a hint Mike Pence. No matter how much money McConnell dumps into his pet picks campaign coffers, or how many endorsements from the Bush loyalists, Trump’s endorsed candidates keep winning.
The MONEY and THE LIES got GOV / CDR GREITENS -> McConnell / Rove / Pete Ricketts / ilk

That one bummed me out
The RINOs just need to drop the “R” after their names and switch to “D”.
Quit running as Republicans, cuz nobody wants your kind around here.
They will never do that. It’s their undercover status that keeps them afloat, even if with a rapidly shrinking voter pool as voters wise up.
Who was it in economics that said you never want to have a larger and larger piece of a customer base that’s shrinking more and more rapidly?
Congrats! Catch up on some sleep this weekend Kari. Come out fightin Monday. No sleep till November.
Welcome to MAGA/AMERICA FIRST WORLD NOW RINOs
Deal. With. It and CRY
A winner in more ways than one.
She was born in Illinois, reared in Iowa, and her parents have roots in Wisconsin.
Maybe she’ll show up at the Trump Rally tomorrow in Wisc.
Finally some good news!
Get used to it because there will be more to come.
McTurtle favorite fat cat Pence didnt and couldnt deliver. Both losers..
AWESOME!
I LOVE IT!!!
Pence will join ovomit 🤮…kiss of death in endorsements. 😁
Shhh…don’t advertise it…let him think otherwise…
😉
Guys, they cheated and Kari still one. This one wasn’t even close but shows how far they can push it.
Unfortunately, unless there is real reform and election integrity is reinstated, states like AZ, Georgia and Penn(and Michigan) are lost.
Ffs “won” not one.
We Know what you meant.
Help is on the way those States.
Don’t count Ga.out. I plan on voting multiple times. My civic duty. / sac fjb
Well , we can not disenfranchise our other pronouns .
Great News for Kari, Arizona & MAGA Nation! and…
It’s 9:50 CDT here in Texas and Dan Crenshaw is still a Piece of $hit!
I was walking out in the pasture and happened to step in a big pile of Crenshaw.
Horse or cow
I would hope horse…easier to clean off….
Donkey
They call that a “friendly reminder” where I come from.
I once had a really bad case of the Crenshaws!
Imodium fixed it after 12 hours.
Make sure you wipe your Crenshaw at least twice or with a wet wipe to maintain proper hygiene.
I try not to use the Port-a-Crenshaw at any outdoor events!
Crenshaws aren’t always bad, you can use them to clean rotting flesh before they turn into flies.
TOTALLY.

MARICOPA Put up that screen on the Fencing for NO REASON – i Guess
Getting ready for November. This way it looks less obvious.
RINO Dobson did not receive 44% of the vote. No way.
WHEN Lake wins the gubernatorial election, she must launch an investigation into the primary election to uncover the rampant fraud we can all see. She will likely need to investigate the gubernatorial election as well.
So imagine this. Hobbs, the Secretary of State of Arizona, is going to be allowed to supervise her own election. Conflict of interests abound, but not in our banana republic.
Someone in Arizona needs to find a way to recuse Hobbs from overseeing the gubernatorial election.
.
You mean like a numbchuck AG . . .?
Fun fact: Brian Kemp was GA SOS when he was elected.
Didn’t Gov Kemp oversee his election over Abrams? Believe he was the sitting SoS at the time.
Definitely can be done by the Sec of State, remember Colorado in the last election. Needs close surveillance.
Yes!
I love it when AP is so seethingly mad that it shows in their writing.
We hate you too, AP.
I noticed that. And I think it’s all because PDJT endorsed her. If it’d been Pence, AP would be over the moon. These people really are mentally deranged.
ALl Progressives news service
A big sigh of relief here. Now, a lot of prayers for a win over that Katie Hobbs.
So happy for our President Donald J. Trump and his choices for governance.
May God give them the strength to overcome the McCain influence. May it be nevermore.
Vote like your life depends upon the outcome.
Because it Does.
Congratulations, Kari Lake.
The takeaway from this is if you’re gonna vote your way out of this mess, you better win by 10% to squeak out a narrow “official” vote.
When Lake wins in November, I hope she guts the AZ election cabal like Desantis did in FL.
This is what I hope other MAGA winners do when they take office as Governors in the different States, follow DeSantis’ lead and reassert State’s rights.
And make sure they have enough ballots! Get to the polls early.
Isn’t it interesting how long it takes them to call races when someone the don’t want is winning, but how quickly they call races with much closer margins if someone they like is winning?
Kari not only beat the money grubbing gold digger but the media here in AZ has Kari Lake derangement syndrome..
It totally nauseating listen the that crap…
Thank you Good Lord Jesus thank you.
Proves the win was so enormous that generating enough ballots to overcome it was impossible. Not that Maricopa is still not running the printer and having the post office look for missing mail bags. I do not anticipate the results being certified without a fight. Hobbs does not want to have to steal the general and face a “Lake of Fire”.
Awesomeness, for AZ and for the US. Perhaps the people have finally seen the current political regime for what it is and refuse to take it anymore.
And Pence, Ducey and Christie betrayed PDJT with this move. I hope PDJT remembers their names.
I don’t know about Ducey, but Pence and Christie betrayed President Trump more
than once previously
It is one of God’s recent miracles!! All praise and glory be to Him!
Yeah, it certainly is not because of the “woe is me” doom and groomers waving their white flag.
Yes and beating people up on online for having the intent to vote.
Quickest way to spot a troll is one who says voting is useless.
Katie Hobbs overseeing elections in Arizona is like the wolf guarding the sheep. Heck she couldn’t even make sure there were enough ballots in Pinal county for Republicans to cast votes. Her ineptitude as Secretary of State for Arizona is a huge deficit for her run to be Governor. Reward her with the governorship because she’s too incompetent to be Secretary of State? I don’t think so.
Exactly!
Batsh!t crazy Katie Hobbs couldn’t even run elections-and she wants to run the State?
Will be interesting to see how they try to spin that one.
Blame everyone else? They will probably try that.
Already have.
Almost like she …shorted…Pinal County on purpose…HEAVY conservative area.
The great state of Arizona gets the 100% MAGA Certified Seal Of Approval…
Good job, AZ Patriots!
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
The corrupt McCain apparatus has been smashed.
Mike Pence or Nikki Haley will never be President.
You go, girl! Congratulations!
Far from done. Have to still defeat Hobbs + whatever systems of fraud she has up her sleeve.
Problem for Hobbs is she is not likable. I think that probably was an issue trying to steal the nomination from Lake. Many they rely on to carry out the steal just did not have their hearts into it. Who wants to risk jail for a “Bit* h.
The fact that Ducey supported Robson tells you everything you need to know about this soon-be-former “Republican” Gov.
Robson voters must get over the butt hurt and vote for Lake. And Lake needs to appeal to them. And the GOP party needs to support Lake and also help convince the Robson voters to vote for Lake. Butt hurt voters worry me.
I was just thinking about this same issue…. 🤔🤔🤔
Pence must show he is a man and call on all patriots in AZ to vote for Lake.
YES! He really should do that!
I don’t think it matters much what Pence does or doesn’t do.
It will be interesting to see what the RINOcrats like Pence do. I bet he doesn’t support Kari Lake.
I think you are absolutely correct.
It’s very likely the GOPe will do every thing they can to assist in Hobbs defeating Kari Lake.
But, it’s Karizona now.
MAGA out in full force in the general election cannot be defeated unless some major electoral Criminal activity is performed.
