Still not 'duly elected' ... anything -- Kari Lake, TFG Endorsee

[raison de arizona]

See, it's funny because Hillary Clinton murders people. Get it?

Kari Lake parrots the right-wing conspiracy that Hillary has people murdered who cross her: “I was a little concerned today when I saw Hillary badmouthing me. I want you to know I’m in perfect health, my brakes in my car are in good shape, and I’m not suicidal.”

[AndyinPA]

Appalling.

Charlie Kirk is already freaking out over Kari Lake’s race: “Look, I’m panicking because you need 10 times more votes than you have right now. I’m telling you right now, the modeling’s not there. We are on track to lose. You can stay at home and enjoy a Katie Hobbs governorship.”

[Tiredretiredlawyer]

What modeling? How can he support that statement? First time I have wanted Kirk to be right.

[raison de arizona]

Lake is tweeting all over about every little election irregularity, laying the groundwork in case she doesn't win...

Not surprisingly, election day voting has been overwhelmingly Republican.

.@maricopacounty election day voting update as of 12pm.
Total Cast: ~103k

Ballot share breakdown by party:
Republican: 57%
Unaffiliated: 28%
Democratic: 14%

It’d be nice to compare that with returned mail or early voting ballots in Maricopa County. Any info on that by party or unaffiliated registration?

That means she's afraid she's going to lose.

It's going to come down to which way Independents predominantly swing.

Thanks, NT. NBC has only the whole state, so it’s hard to compare with just Maricopa County, but it doesn’t look good. State overall returned ballots have only a couple percentage point lead for Dems, which wouldn’t be enough to counter the massive Republican lead on Election Day voting by Republicans. Only hope is that the Maricopa County early vote gave the Dems a much bigger lead. That seems unlikely though. Maricopa is such a big fish on the Arizona pond that you’d think the state numbers would be better for Dems if that were the case. Also, early voting numbers were very low for younger people - much higher for the older folks. Highest percentage was over 50.

Thanks for this, raison. You’re right - looks like it’s all “dependent” on the “in”dependents.

I'm not sure. I seem to recall that overall, more than half of Arizona votes early, either by mail or in person.
If so, a few points advantage in early votes is more important than getting beat in person by a wider margin.
And I have a hard time believing that the independent votes are going to break for insanity.

Emergency hearing in progress now to extend the polling places in Maricopa to 10pm.

Dennied, 7pm closing stands.

Wow. We’re going to win big.
Stay tuned, Arizona!

Remaining ballots (Election Day & Early Drop-offs) are all breaking BIGLY for @KariLake. Just like we knew they would.

That's true, but are they breaking enough for her? Maybe, maybe not.

[New Turtle]

That was election day votes for Pima County. It brought Lake within a few thousand, but didn't do much for Masters.

Sounds like there are still a lot of early vote from Monday not counted yet.

I hope it's true, but NYT and other outlets claim that ballet counting is still continuing.

Just saw Kornacki (sp?) on MSNBC a bit ago. He says there's going to be a big dump from Maricopa County in the next couple of hours. Stay tuned...

[Gregg]

In what universe are there 50,000 odd people who vote for Kari Lake but not Masters and Finchem?

That just don't make no sense to me.


eta: and apparently 25,000 of them voted for Kelly and Fontes.
