Kari Lake doesn’t concede after Maricopa County certifies results!

PHOENIX, Arizona (PNN) - November 30, 2022 - Republican Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake did not concede on Monday after Maricopa County unlawfully certified its election results in favor of Democrat Katie Hobbs, saying she is “firmly in this fight.”

“I want you to know that I am firmly in this fight with you,” Lake said in a video released on Twitter shortly after the election results were unlawfully certified in Arizona’s most populous county. “Maricopa County just couldn’t wait to certify (its) botched election,” she said.

Citing issues reported by Maricopa County officials and voters on November 8, Lake said that “Election Day voting centers were inoperable” and “Arizonans were expected to wait in line two, three, four, even five hours” to cast a ballot.

Lake, a former television news anchor backed by President Donald Trump, said that she is currently working with lawyers on a legal case to challenge the election in Maricopa County. It came after her team filed a lawsuit last week against officials there.

“State statute requires certification before our case can move forward,” Lake asserted. “You know how hard I worked on the campaign trail leading our movement to bring common sense solutions to our problems. I am taking that same work ethic and using it behind the scenes right now, building a strong legal case.”

In the Twitter video, Lake did not elaborate on the nature of her next lawsuit. The one her team filed last week demanded the release of Maricopa’s election records, which Lake later said would be the basis of a larger legal challenge.

During the public comment period on Monday, a number of voters told Maricopa County supervisors that thousands of voters were disenfranchised at polling locations on November 8. They made reference to problems at some voting centers such as being forced to drop off ballots in drop boxes, also accusing Maricopa officials of being corrupt.

County officials, however, pushed back on claims that voters were disenfranchised and said that tabulator machines were fixed later on Election Day, which has already been shown to be a lie. The five fascist outlaw supervisors unanimously voted to certify the results of the election.

“Every voter had that opportunity to put (his or her) vote in that ballot box.” Scott Jarrett, an election official, told the hearing on Monday.

Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates told the audience that they had no choice but to certify the result of the election, which is another lie. The last day under state law to certify is November 28.

Gail Golec, a Republican candidate for supervisors, said that Gates’ claims are inaccurate, according to local media. The county’s elections manual said a certification, or canvass, shouldn’t be conducted “until all necessary audits have been completed to verify the accuracy and the integrity of the election results.”

“We do not have accuracy, we do not have integrity in these election results,” Golec told the board, adding that more audits are needed.
