Hilarity in Arizona: Election Protest Draws 10s of People, Kari Lake STILL Refuses to Concede

By

She did tell us that this is exactly what would happen. She was asked on live television twice whether she would accept an election loss, and twice she said she would win the election and that she would accept her victory. So, she warned us, “I win, or the election was fixed.” Much more below:

And she has held true to her word. She has focused on Maricopa county, saying that it is a very Republican county and that is where they had machines having trouble reading ballots. Sensibly, the votes were kept at the polling site and then – under guard and watched by both parties, were taken to another location to be read. Oh, and Maricopa County is 50-50, almost right down the line. It is not a Republican haven.

Here is Lake, continuing to promise litigation, which is her right. The problem is she is going to have to have evidence:

Then sue them, Kari! You cannot just sit from the outside and make your allegations. Go into a courtroom and… damn, that might be the problem. Once in a courtroom and you say stuff like that, it’s on you to prove it.

Meanwhile, Paul Gosar doesn’t see the need to prove anything. He just sees that the wrong person won:

You know. Again, you kind of have to prove that “thousands” of people were disenfranchised, which shouldn’t be that hard if thousands of people were disenfranchised.

The anger in Arizona is palpable and on display for all to see. Look at this protest! It is almost like even Lake’s biggest supporters know that she lost but also knew they’d hear screaming and over-the-top allegations into the foreseeable future. They have moved on, except for this massive protest:

We very much worried about the MAGA response to losses throughout the nation. Fortunately, we’ve gotten through rather unscathed.
