According to election officials in Maricopa County, Arizona, they will provide further updates on their ballot counting efforts on Thursday after 7pm. The election was Tuesday. Apparently, in Arizona it takes several days to count election ballots or something, and we are not supposed to think this is odd. [LINK]
As of the latest update from Arizona in the Republican primary for Governor: Kari Lake has 303,860 votes (46.25%), and Karrin Taylor-Robson has 291,843 votes (44.42%).
[LINK] Kari Lake is leading by 12,017 votes.
According to Maricopa County election officials they have counted 715,941 ballots
According to the Arizona Secretary of State office, they are reporting 698,981 votes for governor were cast in Maricopa County [402,023(R), 296,958(D)]
There are 16,968 more ballots reported from Maricopa County than votes cast for governor as reported by the Secretary of State.
Did 16,968 voters in Maricopa County cast ballots without voting for governor?
It all seems odd.
402,023(R) + 296,958(D) = Total: 698,981 votes
Three days, or more, to count ballots.
Suspicous Cat remains, well, you know….
It was TOTALLY intentional. Laura has been friends w/ billionaire Karrin for years.
When you fly on Robson’s private jet & vacation at her Colorado Ranch—you really should disclose this fact to your friends/viewers.
Stop trying to influence elections!
— Kari Lake (@KariLake) August 4, 2022
it will be refreshing when Lake and Finchem get into office and get rid of the machines, simplify and fortify the election process, and prosecute and punish the criminals engage in wanton fraud
Make rope great again!
when Lake and Finchem get into office
I DOUBT LAKE WILL “GET INTO OFFICE”.
The delay in “counting” is for AZ to find out how many ballots they need to fabricate for their idiot to “come from behind and overtake” Lake. They do the same thing all the time. IMO anyone who thinks Lake’s 12,000 vote lead won’t shrink and disappear is wishful thinking.
I hope Lake wins, but history shows us what we’re seeing is the CHEAT IS ON!
As long as Hobbs is in control of the Elections, do you really think she will allow Lake to win? Hand recounts IMMEDIATELY after the votes are scanned. No time to erase the data (a criminal offense which will not be charged by the criminal who will directly benefit from the criminality). Face it, the country has quickly been overtaken in the open by the Communists. Sure it was there in the background but they NEED to show Trump supporters just how Commie the government is. Why else would they vote to employ almost 90,000 new IRS agents. You can rest assured they won’t be hired to address the insider trading in Congress, they won’t be hired to address the illegal receipt of foreign and lobby money in Congress, they won’t be hired to address the graft in Congress, and they won’t be hired to address the foreign kickbacks for spending taxpayer money in Congress. Nope, they’ll come after the 70 year old grandmas who forget to claim a $75 rebate check and will end up taking everything she has in the name of “justice”. Clorox cannot make enough cleaner for DC. The roots of deceipt and corruption run to China and all the glycosphate in the world won’t kill those roots.
A few “well placed” projectiles could put a big dent in it.
Absolutely! Red hot ones, coming in at a rapid pace, with accuracy.
Arming the IRS will be a costly mistake.
It is so obvious by their tweet – maricopa county is announcing their intention , plain speak
They couldn’t do it to Dr. Oz in PA.
Why? The fix is in in PA. Pa SC ruled for unlimited mail in ballots against the law as written by the legislature.
I feel like they know she won and they’re trying to weaken her for the general by making her victory look super thin etc…could be wrong but they gotta know spotlight is on them.
Agree bc this is how a very devious, cunning criminal enterprise would think. They need “believability”… Lake must appear to have marginal support.
See it this way: Lake is Trump on steroids and she must be stopped.
Trump-backed vs Pence-backed is the FOX narrative playing now for Club ownership.
It should be obvious to anyone observing this election—polls to rallies—Lake should have won this in hand. A last second nonsense appearance by Pence has turned the race into a toss up??
It’s not the ‘economy stupid’— it’s the ‘vote by mail stupid’— it’s the favored way to cheat.

If they are able to do that, a Democrat won’t win an election in Arizona for a generation, if not more.
she wont win…its all rigged
And it will be beyond refreshing when President Trump and the MAGA team get back in office and finally implement election integrity!
How do you get back into office through elections to restore integrity if they are fixed to begin with?
We can but hope. But you know they will probably turn out like all the other corporate RINOs and not want to make waves with transparency, fairness, above board, legit processes.
Kari Lake won 70% of Election Day votes.
Hopefully, along with Voter I.D. with citisenship verification, paper ballots with hand counting, ending motor voter, etc. there will be a law that specifically prohibits stopping the count, before there is a declared winner.
“Its not who votes, its who counts the votes”
And to think, with the obvious ballot fraud/election fraud that is being perpetrated by Establishment Republicans, there are STILL people on this site, posting arguments that in Nov, if Kari has this election stolen from her, that I should vote for Robson, the thief?
Yeah, cause I am stupid?
They almost take as long to count the votes as it takes to complete the audit …..
Told you.
Don’t be surprised if you see Kari Lake arrested.
Stealing elections, right in your face, eventually, HAS to come to that.
Arrested? lol. jeez
Mind-boggling.
Does a state stop counting when it exceeds their population?
One day voting! A week long vote does nothing but steal the people’s voice.
Blame this on the judge who said mail-in ballots must be accepted up to the day of the election and then the county has FIVE DAYS to count them. This is where MC is getting their “we’re following the law!” bullsh*t.
Funny how much longer electronic ballot counting takes than good old hand counting.
3 easy fixes for this fraud-laden system they have built….it would have to be approved state by state however:
1) paper ballots using the latest security features to prevent counterfeiting….no more printing ballots at the precincts
2) hand counting ONLY allowed…..if large population countries in Europe can manage I think the most technologically advanced nation on the planet could do it as well
3) more precincts so there are less eligible voters in each (maybe 2000 max)…..accomplishes 2 things….builds community as precinct ‘neighbors” get to know and recognize one another lessening fraud……allows for timely counting of the ballots which totals SHOULD be reported no later than 2300 election night except in exigent circumstances……it should be RARE the results of each and every state are not known with relative accuracy by midnight on election day
I would submit that the most important change would be that the precincts report their totals publicly before they send the ballots on. SO many ballots recieved, so many votes for each candidate. When the totals don’t match later, it is much easier to identify the source of the problem.
The whole “thumb drive taken to a central counting location” reeks of Mark Elias!
Am I the only one who finds it odd that they “ran out” of Republican ballots very early in the morning of voting day? By siphoning off the “original” ballots, they made it more difficult to determine which were the “newly printed” Election Day ballots and which were legitimately there. They didn’t want to get caught this time with different paper or different ink. The Democrats have refined their cheating while the Republicans still have their heads up the anal orifice. Remember here that Republican does not in any way, shape or form mean MAGA. Republican here means RINO!
If they ran out of ballots, my thoughts are this…
If you mess up your ballot, there are “replacement ballots” available. am wondering why the replacement ballot was not used?
An excellent idea!
I like your ideas.
Funny how Broward County, FL used to be the worst counters in the country after the polls closed, but now that Governor DeSantis had leadership removed and installed competent people they were done in 2020 by 10 p.m.
as I have posted here several times, it’s a start…..FL still NEEDS a forensic audit of the 2020 STEAL and get RID of the machines
More than any other candidate I’m aware of, Kari Lake represents the MAGA we use to know and love. If – somehow – these election shenanigans (obvious replay of 2020 fraud) are overcome, though that is still far from certain, then her victory will be pivotal. Overcoming Election Crime(D) was tragically not accomplished in 2020. If it can be achieved now, somehow – well, then we’re in a whole new ballgame overnight.
Yet, the Unipartiers must fear and loathe Lake as much as Trump (and she’s young, attractive, and razor sharp) and I can’t see their Deep State thugs allowing her a victory without… well, we’ll see what their devious Plan B is.
I smell a steal.
Who counts the votes and recount the votes to get the desired results. We know they cheat!
They would not have gone this far unless they fully intend to steal this election. This is grim, it is obvious, and we must now allow it. But how to fight it?
Grab Hobbs by the neck and drag her into the street.
Early ballots should all be counted first. Counting them last only makes sense as a way to leave the door open for fraud.
Early voting ballots are counted first, EXCEPT for those who don’t trust the USPS and instead choose to hand-deliver early/absentee ballots to the polling center on election day. Those are [supposedly] what remain to be counted.
Such ballots would tend towards MAGA voters and their favored candidates, who do not trust the system, *IF* it were a legitimate process.
Norseman -Oops…didn’t see your post and I commented.
You are right. Cochise County on their website last night stated 2400 drop off ballots left to count.
I was listening to Charlie Kirk on the radio last night.
I’m not sure if it was live or a recorded show earlier on Wednesday.
But, he talked about this.
He said he believes there likely were a huge number of Arizonans who did not trust the USPS and didn’t want to risk issues with what they used to fill out their ballots, so they voted by mail-in ballots and personally delivered them.
He believes that flooded the place with hand delivered MAGA ballots.
He didn’t get specific, but he also mentioned the multiple step verification process of ballots in Maricopa County is absurdly time consuming and should be fixed after Kari Lake assumed office.
He estimated there were about 160,000 votes to be counted (not sure at what time of day he figured this) and he said the votes were generally breaking 70/30 to Kari Lake.
Albiet, Maricopa County won’t won’t break that way, he believed Kari Lake will prevail according to his figuring.
He feels the Red vote is so significant any gerrymandering will be clearly evident.
That gives me hope.
But at the same time there is so much at stake here, and a lot of people in Maricopa risk going to jail or fear walking in public when/if what has gone on behind the scenes in that county is revealed they are so desperate and invested they are likely to slow-walk the ballot counting till they cook-up what they need to steal it from Kari Lake.
I hope Charlie is right.
My gut tells me the fix is in for the steal. Hopity hope Hope I’m wrong.
Either way Maricopa County is an utter clown show.
People get sent ballots. They wait until election day and drop them off at the polling centers.
In Cochise County all the ballots were counted last night-except for the 2400 that were dropped off at the polling places, and less than 200 provisional ballots.
I read that during training of poll workers in Cochise County that about 100 of them …during the training…when entering voter info etc…they used their own information.
Machines were not cleared and when they went to vote yesterday machines rejected saying they already voted. They all had to vote using provisional ballots.
No excuse for Maricopa County to be so messed up.
Incompetence….and that is just the start.
“Incompetence….and that is just the start.”
NOT INCOMPETENCE! DELIBERATE FRAUD!
The REAL problem lies in your first sentence. Why are ballots indiscriminately mailed out? They don’t need to be mailed out at all. If a person cannot find a time in these extended voting marathons to go and vote in person, then a bipartisan team should appear at their residence, check the ID, allow the person to vote, take the ballot back, scan it into a voting machine, scan it into a file and file the ballot for safekeeping WITH the voter’s ID information on it. That would eliminate the “you’ve already voted” issue as well allowing the “early” ballot to be removed and filed for comparison to the person’s signature for potential fraudulent voting practices. That would at least significantly slow down this ridiculous problem. It wouldn’t take long with the ballots scanned to a file and saved by a name and voter ID number to pull and check. As I said, a 6th grader with basic Excel skills could find the ballot in a few minutes!
There have to be consequences for cheating as well. The person who cheats at the poll should lose his/her right to vote once it is determined in the courts to be criminal. If the person admits to being paid or coerced, then the person who pays or coerces should be imprisoned for no less than 8 years (two full election cycles).
What we are witnessing is not incompetence. It is the destruction of the democracy that these people claim to love. What they actually love is DEMOCRATCY, which is a far cry from democracy!
Wow, Lake bringing the receipts.
Haven’t watched Ingram for years, that monotone, droning voice of GOPe rubbish makes her unlistenable.
Could this be psyops to condition the voters for a general election steal? In 2020 Biden supposedly came from behind to beat Trump after a delayed count, and Trump cried foul. In the 2020 primary Kari surged from behind to beat Karrin after a delayed count for who knows how long. Oh, so this is just normal. If Katie were to surge ahead of Kari in the general election after a drawn out counting process, who could complain since this process supposedly can swing either way.
It’s too early for this kind of Bravo Sierra.
Could’nt the Arizonans that voted for Kari have a huge protest outside where the the counting is done to let their voices be heard?
There’s no way Robsen got as many votes as they’re saying she did!
If all this madness isn’t fixed, in 3 short months we can kiss the November election goodbye!!
“Could’nt the Arizonans that voted for Kari have a huge protest outside where the the counting is done to let their voices be heard?”
They just might be labelled ‘Insurrectionist” by our oh so friendly and competent FBI/DOJ. This IS what many PDJT supporters did on January 6th.
Hopefully this will get more people to go to the polls instead of early voting etc.
I told friends – go to the polls on election day!
I used my saying-Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.
We know they will try to cheat.
Sometimes…I hate being right.
Next election day is November 8th. Should be fresh in everyone’s mind the “cluster” happening now.
Hopefully this will have more people showing up at the polls. And that Biden doesn’t lock us down or try something to keep people locked down.
AZ IS FULL OF SH!T. THEY’RE FABRICATING BALLOTS, NOT COUNTING THEM.
Nothing short of beating their brains out with axe handles and baseball bats, or driving a vehicle into the cheating stations will stop them. Until people rush the cheating centers and take over the counting, the cheating b@st@rds will keep overthrowing America.
LAKE SHOULD HAVE AN ARMY OF LAWYERS IN THE COURTS ASKING WHAT’S GOING ON!!!
Her confidence that she’ll keep her razor thin 12,000 vote lead is disconcerting. I HOPE she does, but history shows us over and over that when the counting goes on this long, it’s not counting, it’s ballot fabrication to overcome the leader!
Lake should have an army of lawyers demanding an army of Republican observers watch and participate in the “counting”. If she already has, great. But she’s not mentioned she does and I fear she’s pulling the same thing Trump did; exhibiting confidence without having all the mechanisms already moving to expose and stop the ongoing cheating!!
She doesn’t have the war chest that Robison has. The RNC has the money but they don’t want to identify the cheating. How do you think they keep the crooks in office?
This is beyond sketchy and beyond suspicious.
Election results cannot be trusted.
It’s only a matter of how it ends.
I thought the whole thing about the machines was that they were supposed to SPEED UP the process. If the machines can’t count the votes in 48 hours, they need to get a group of 6th graders to start the count. They are faster than the machines and they need 8-10 hours of down time for sleep and another 4-6 hours for rest and play.
This is intentional. This is criminal. The Arizona legislature needs to come back into session and IMMEDIATELY decertify the use of the machines, institute the use of paper ballots and go to the French system of voting. At this point Arizona isn’t a red state, it isn’t a purple state but it is a corrupt state. CORRUPT!
This is another eff you to the voters.
You know the process is corrupt.
They know you know the process is corrupt.
You know they know you know the process is corrupt.
They don’t care.
It’s a game of chicken going off a cliff.
If this was anyone else other than a MAGA candidate it would have been called already, Kari won, period, they are trying to steal it, again.
You know that they hate Kari Lake so much that they (Uniparty) cannot stomach her as governor. They are accustomed to election fraud since it has been going on all their lives and they have been getting away with it. This little maneuver is just a continuation of their fraudulent ways, and they feel compelled to do so out of sheer hatred for Lake.
Election fraud has benefitted both parties. Some years the R wins, other years the D wins. It gives the People the illusion of choice. The RINOs are compromised, and many (most? all?) want the same things the Ds do. I used to wonder why “our side” never managed to get anything accomplished and things just kept moving leftward. Now we all see that was by design.
Praying that somehow Lake is able to overcome and her victory declared.
Hobbs got into office in 2018 the very same way. Republican Steve Gaynor had been declared the winner for SOS – Hobbs won eventually with votes from Maricopa County. This is SOP for Maricopa County.
There’s nothing to be suspicious about.
It’s plain obvious what’s happening ‘all over again’.
What is going on in Maricopa County is unbelievable and unprecedented.
If only these sort of shenanigans could have been predicted before time Kari Lake and other MAGA Republicans could have made contingencies and put people in place to stop it from happening.
Who could possibly predict Katie Hobbs could not be trusted to run an election?!?
Unbelievable.
Simple answer: they are still looking for votes for anyone but Kari Lake. All obvious and out in the open. Did Fox News call this race yet?
And where is the sheriff?
Soros got rid of sheriff Joe years ago and that is when the fraud began.
The first thing Kari will need to do as Governor is to clean out the nest of vipers currently on the Board of Supervisors of Maricopa County!
I blame The Damn liberal Democrats BS corrupt again,
Do not get a way at This Time people,
Once the Marxists take control, they will do “whatever it takes” to keep control. The only way to take it back is to pry it out of their cold dead fingers.
Could this be brazen skullduggery in action right before our very eyes. Results just in time for prime time news.
Deja vu all over again.
This is the canary in the tunnel that will signal the outcome of the November general elections.
Why hasn’t Hobbs been arrested!?!?!?
Hey, MSNBC’s own Katie Hobbs is ‘counting’ the votes. Funny… Not.
Surround the building. Where are the observers?
If they allow Lake to become governor, they know they will go to prison. They crossed the Rubicon in 2020.
Aren’t you AZ peeps a little cowboy? Time to do cowboy stuff
Am thinking that old Texas saying of “All hat and no horse” may be playing out in AZ.
I bet that variance between the SOS website sourced governor race ballot count summed total and the County’s announced total ballots processed will be used for the drop and roll. They’ll run them through the Dominion machine with the governor race blank, the machine will spit them out to be adjudicated due to the blanks, and the cheaters will fill them in for the RINO. Then they will apply the fraudulent percent of total to incoming ballots to maintain the steal through to the end. The County messed up big time when they added them to their total processed ballots and made the number public. I saw this last night in a Tweet, genius, so grateful to have people on our side who are able to easily zero in on these things!!! Thank you for your article!!!
Fox – the home of controlled opposition courtesy of the Murdoch’s, Paul Ryan and the rest of their very band of evil doers.
Why is it most every other state has a system where by midnight on election day, the results are counted and announced, regardless the size of the state?
I’d be ashamed if I lived in Arizona and a few other states that also have problems counting ballots.
It just makes you, as a state, look ignorant, and totally inept.
I KNOW that is not true, but it’s the way you appear to the rest of the country.
Sorta like my state of Florida in 2000. Our hanging-dimpled Chad’s were the laughing stock of world.
Shameful. Pitiful. Just plain sad.
Thinking of Florida…there are a lot of New York transplants there.
In AZ, there are a lot of transplants from the Chicago area.
Make of it what you will.
Our election system is broken. And that’s just how the politicians like it.
I’m waiting for the CHEATERS to get caught on this!! They are watching this time!! And yes 8 years in prison for the CRIME!!!
Those who voted legitimately and legally should be up in arms if this proposed steal comes to fruition. It’s a “You can’t handle the truth moment!”
No wonder some Dems are so smug while campaigning. They threw enough money into the steal that they know the outcome. Crooks!
This looks like, smells like and sounds like fraud.
Is there no legal way to nip this in the bud?
Re “It all seems odd.”
Yes, it does, and oddly familiar at the same time…
This
counting the votesfabricating enough votes to win is merely a prelude to the 2022 election where it will be fine tuned for the 2024 election.The RNC and so-called Republicans are doing NOTHING.
They are satisfied with 2nd place at the teat of public corruption……………….
I agree those “friendships” should be disclosed and mentioned – I know Maria B. is a “good friend” of Warren Buffet , flown on his jet etc – fact kept on the down low – Why do you think these Billionaires cultivate these people ? Really want to be friends? come on….
Likewise, they won’t be laughing at the sad clown Meghan McCain today on Gutfeld (as they most certainly should) because — undisclosed to the viewer — Meghan McCain and Kat Timpf are best friends. So the McCain family will always get a pass on that show (though you will never be told this by them).
That’s too bad days eInjave liked kat
