Arizona Election "Referee" "Wins" Governor's Race

After the 2020 presidential election debacle, how could former President Donald Trump not believe the 2022 Arizona election was stolen from Republican Kari Lake? While most sober observers at least wonder about both elections, Trump expresses no doubt. That’s his nature.

After Democrats conducted stealth operations against Trump throughout his presidency, sold disparagingly as “conspiracies,” which were proven actual conspiracies, how could he not question any Democrat-run election?

Even the “friendly news” reporting is stacked against him. Take the New York Post’s reporting, “Former President Donald Trump was back peddling election fraud claims…. Taking to Truth Social after ally Kari Lake lost in the race for Arizona governor, Trump, 76, falsely claimed that the election was stolen from her” [emphasis added].

Does the Post know the claim is “false?”

Later in the article, the Post takes another shot, calling Trump’s concerns about the numerous mischiefs that occurred in 2020 “baseless ‘big steal’ claims.”

Does the Post know the claim is “baseless?”

This was ostensibly a news report, not an editorial.

Without any investigation into credible reports of the significant Arizona election system mischiefs/glitches, no audit of the ballots, and the state official responsible for running state elections as Lake’s opponent, how does the Post know anything for sure?

This Arizona election follows a similar debacle in 2020. How do two bone-headed elections in a row not spike voter suspicion?

While the Post can’t know the stolen election claims are false, voters also can’t know that they’re true. That’s fair. But any thinking person can know there were undoubtedly significant problems with Arizona’s election this year, especially when the “winner” was the referee.

Lake called for Secretary of State Hobbs to recuse herself from overseeing an election in which she was a candidate, but she refused, casting doubt from that day forward. Hobbs also refused to debate Lake and could barely attract a smattering of supporters during her dismal campaign while Lake electrified her audiences.

That mess made Hobbs “the first Democrat to win the office in Arizona since 2006.” How does that happen?

Someone should find out.
