Democrat Katie Hobbs will be the next governor of Arizona after she topped Republican Kari Lake, NBC News projected. Hobbs, Arizona’s current secretary of state, edged out the victory over Lake, a former television news anchor and staunch ally of former President Donald Trump.
Hobbs garnered 50.4% of the votes cast in the razor thin race out of the roughly 2.5 million votes counted so far about a week after Election Day, according to an NBC News tally. Hobbs would replace outgoing Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican who has served since 2015. (NY Post)
Thank you Mr. Trump for destroying the Republican party. Thank you for guaranteeing a democrat majority for the next 100 years.
Oh don’t be so melodramatic, [and incorrect].
Isn’t it interesting how the most unpopular Democrats with almost no supporters and no following always pull off the most improbable victories in elections?
Fetterman, Shapiro, and Hobbs had previously won election to statewide office. Kelly, Cortez Masto, Hassan, and Warnock are incumbents. Oz doesn’t even live in Pennsylvania; Mastriano and Lake went out of their way to express hate. (Mastriano towards Jews.) Masters, Baldoc, and Laxalt spouted debunked conspiracy theories, and Walker is a moral degenerate.
Mitch McConnell warned that candidate quality matters. He also warned Rick Scott against giving Democrats talking points by saying he would sunset Social Security and Medicare. McConnell was right on both.
This was an election steal if ever there was one.
Rigged elections have been going on for decades covered up by the media. (How surprising.) We didn’t know about it until Trump and his people let it out. Probably one of the first things Trump will do when he comes back (I think today) is redo the elections a different way.
EXACTLY CORRECT!!
First of all, it was well publicized and known that when countless people in numerous conservative oriented areas came to their polling places and attempted to submit their for-conservative-candidates-ballots, the ballot machines rejected them. These machine (supposed) “malfunctions” did not occur though in the polling places of the Democrat oriented areas. Such outright sinister blocking of people from voting bluntly means that there never was an election!!
Then, when counting of the votes that were accepted was almost complete, even with that huge loss of those rejected conservative-filled-out-ballots, Kari Lake was way ahead. But then, the officials kept delaying and delaying and delaying and delaying declaring what were the glaringly clear results. Obviously, they were waiting until their printers & forgers could manufacture enough false pro-Hobbs ballots to give Hobbs the false lead.
In general, the Secretary of State is the top official in the practical running (and counting the ballots) of the elections. Wikipedia tells me that Katie Hobbs is the current sitting Secretary of State in Arizona. So that sounds to me a lot like the person who is actually in charge of running the election machine and counting the ballots was the very same person who was elected by that very same machinery that she runs. I have to wonder what the media would say if a Republican Secretary of State won such an election.
Many true news reporters have pointed out this serious problem that you related of Mrs. Hobbs being in charge of the counting process in the very same election in which she is a candidate. It really should be outright illegal, as in Dinei Torah it is called “Nogeia B’Davar” – the person is (literally, “touching” the item, in other words, he or she is) involved in and affected by and gets benefit from the item. Therefore, he or she cannot be relied upon to give a correct assessment of the item that he wants to continue to get benefit from. So here, Mrs. Hobbs cannot be relied upon to correctly say who won the election, for obviously she wanted herself and her Democrat cronies to be the ones who won it.
L’Havdil, In English law, it is called a “Conflict of Interest”; while he or she has a noble interest in doing his job (for example, as a judge), he or she also has a conflicting personal interest in wanting to keep the benefit from the item. So here, while Mrs. Hobbs may have had a noble interest in doing the election counting of her Secretary of State job, she obviously also had a huge conflicting personal interest in wanting to do that “count” in the way that she and her Democrat cronies will “win” that election.
Because of these considerations, Mrs. Hobbs was asked to please recluse — withdraw — herself from the counting process, but she refused to do that.
Nope. Counting if ballots in Arizona is done by county. In Maricopa County it is done by Republicans.
And in any case, Brian Kemp was Secretary of State for Georgia when he was narrowly elected Governor and no Republican complained.
Grisly. I guess no one likes an election denier. You need votes, right?
Lake told John McCain’s fans that she didn’t want their support. John McCain is very popular in Arizona.
Are you pleased with your Vice President Kamala Harris? Is she fulfilling your expectations?
