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

[bob]

AP has the count at 1,031,373 to 1,004,494.

Looks like Kelly widened the margin as well.

[New Turtle]

The "slot 3" ballots aren't included yet, there are 17,000 of those which should favor Lake.

Two envelopes that were sent to Kari Lake's campaign headquarters in Phoenix last Saturday did NOT contain powder or harmful substances, the

did anyone really think it was something bad?

[Kendra]

Nope. Drama queen.

What, not even scorpions?

A sidewinder might have been a nice touch.

The last vote drop from Maricopa is looking good for Hobbs. It was only like 51-49% for Lake, she needed much more than that. The margin is now around 34000 and another drop like this would put this race into callable territory.

I'm starting to get that 'ol confidence feeling.

Hobbs just might pull this off!

If she does, the question becomes how long does she hold the office before Biden taps her on the shoulder for a cabinet post?

It is 'traditional' for Arizona Democratic Governors to take Federal posts before their term is over. See Bruce Babbitt (-> Secretary of the Interior), Raul Castro (-> Ambassador to Argentina), Janet Napolitano (-> secretary of homeland security).

Somebody asked Lake how long she would stay on, did anybody ask Hobbs?

EDIT: Arizona Governors.

[New Turtle]

LOL they did the filter!

[Kendra]

That was a good one. Meanwhile:

Some American citizen and patriots have a real strange interpretation of the Constitution and the function of the military.

Why do they remind me of third world inhabitants? Maybe they ought to be sent back to where they came from

Those Democrats are so clever. Even after all the Republican efforts to secure the vote, the rug got pulled out from under them. Oh whoopsie daisy.

[Danraft]

Time for this race to be called…

Queue Frankie Valli singing his hit song Kari.

Someone please ask Randy Rainbow to do that.

There is a large update for Maricopa sometime today, larger than 85,000 ballots. It is election day drop off and should favor Lake. But if she gets less than 55%, this race will be callable for Hobbs.

[raison de arizona]

, it's Team Hobbs with 4 updates about our race.

Our race is the LAST uncalled governor's race in the country - and it's still too close to call
Kari Lake has already spent MILLIONS to staff a "War Room" with a massive team of lawyers
She's repeatedly suggested she would ONLY accept the results of this election if she's the winner
We're running low on cash since we spent almost everything we had leading up to Election Day - so we have to act NOW to raise money quickly

Will you rush a donation now to help us fight back and keep our operations going? http://katie4az.us/l/O6rQw
Text STOP to quit

[New Turtle]

The Maricopa update is gonna happen within an hour. If they call it for Hobbs tonight, all the goons and howler monkeys are gonna come out of the woodwork.

Lake 54-45 that's under what she needs. She should be getting like 57 to have a real chance.



On the downside, this update puts Schweikert in the lead and makes it nearly impossible for dems to hold the House.

[raison de arizona]

The Maricopa ballots are all from Republican strongholds too. Lake’s goose is cooked.

[New Turtle]

The networks might wait until the next Pima County drop to start calling it for Hobbs.
