Maricopa County Attempting to Steal AZ Gubernatorial

Clandestine

Wtf is going on in Maricopa County?

The polls have been closed for 28 hours at the time I’m writing this. Maricopa County officials said they would have results by 7:00PM MST. Now they are saying they will have the results tomorrow. They’ve stopped counting twice

Big outlets still refuse to call the race for Kari Lake. The only possible reason for this magnitude of a delay could be attempts at fraud. There is ZERO excuse for the results to take this long. They are stalling. Trying to figure out how they are going to “find” enough ballots for Robson.

How do I know they are stalling? The numbers don’t lie.

Robson needs to make up 12k votes in the final approximate 146k total votes remaining from Arizona, 76k of which are in Maricopa. Meaning Robson would need to secure approximately 55% of the total remaining votes in Arizona in order to barely win.

Thus far Robson has only secured 44.4% of the total State vote, and that's including the inflated rate from mail-in ballots (fraud). The day-of voters were voting heavily for Lake. Meaning the margin is only going to widen in favor of Lake. Robson has no mathematical path to victory.

This is also a Primary, so the results are not going to be as polarized as if this were a race vs a Democrat. It’s not like Maricopa is going to pump out 70% in favor of Robson, she’s still a Republican and these are only registered GOP and Independents voting. It’s going to reflect closely to that of the rest of the State, which has been in favor of Lake.

Mathematically, Kari Lake cannot lose. That is, unless Maricopa county “finds” 20k extra votes for Robson somewhere. But Maricopa find themselves in an quite the predicament. They are under the microscope. They are the epicenter of voter fraud from 2020. They are being closely observed. They aren’t going to be able to get away with sneaking in this many ballots THIS late in the game. They are too late.

But if they don’t stop Lake from winning the Primary, given the GOP turnout, she will in all likelihood win the General Election as well. And Lake has promised to take swift and decisive action against the voter fraud in Maricopa and Arizona as a whole. The entities responsible for counting the votes can’t let Lake win or they are screwed anyways.

And oddly enough, the DNC candidate who will meet Lake in the General Election, Katie Hobbs, is the current Arizona Secretary of State, who OVERSEES STATE ELECTIONS.

It appears Hobbs is abusing her position to assist in voter fraud to benefit her own campaign. While simultaneously proving her own incompetence by the primary elections taking this long. She can’t run an election on time, but we are going to let her run the entire State? Not a chance. Kari Lake just secured the General Election in November as well.

I find it fitting that the entire country are witnessing voter fraud, in the county with the biggest spotlight around voter fraud, in the race with the candidate most vocal about voter fraud. Rather apropos.

In conclusion, Kari Lake won. The Deep State tried to steal it for Robson with the mail-in voting, but AZ showed up and out-voted the fraud. And the entire country are getting a front row seat.

Mark Finchem & Wendy Rogers are 'honored' to be endorsed by Gab founder, a prominent antisemite

Two Arizona Republicans are trumpeting an endorsement from Andrew Torba, the CEO of far-right social media platform Gab, who said earlier this month that Jewish people aren’t welcome on Gab — and should be exiled from the conservative movement altogether.

Mark Finchem, who is running for secretary of state, and state Sen. Wendy Rogers, who is seeking re-election, this week both touted their endorsements from Torba and praised him. Both said on social media that they were “honored” to have Torba’s endorsement, and Rogers included the hashtag #GabCaucus, the name that the Gab CEO has used for the collection of Republicans he supports across the country.

“These people aren’t conservative. They’re not Christian, right? They don’t share our values. They have inverted values from us as Christians. So don’t fall for the bait, right?” he said in a video defending Pennsylvania GOP gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano. Torba is serving as a consultant to Mastriano’s campaign.

“We are going to take back this country for the glory of God. This is an explicitly Christian movement because this is an explicitly Christian country,” he added.Gab has long been a haven for antisemites and violent extremists since launching in 2017 as an alternative to Twitter, which in recent years has more strictly enforced its policies against hate speech and violent rhetoric.

In 2018, a prolific user of the site who had posted neo-Nazi propaganda and calls for violence against Jewish people massacred 11 worshippers in a Pittsburgh synagogue, fueled by the so-called great replacement theory that has motivated white supremacist mass murderers around the world.

Gab has also openly courted racists to join the platform, HuffPost reported in 2018:

Torba, who likes to portray himself as a free speech warrior under attack by big tech, liberals and the media, describes Gab as a censorship-free version of Twitter. But as Gab’s CEO, he has rooted for prominent racists, vilified minorities, fetishized “trad life” in which women stay at home with the kids, and fantasized about a second American civil war in which the right outguns the left. And despite Torba’s supposed commitment to free speech, Gab often blocks its critics on Twitter and rails against journalists.

White supremacists and members of the alt-right like Gab because Torba speaks their language: People who learn to embrace far-right politics have been “red-pilled,” people who know what’s going on are “based.” Even Gab’s logo is a nod to white supremacists: The green frog is clearly reminiscent of Pepe the Frog, a cartoon character that became popular in racist memes.

Torba on July 26 posted on Gab that he was endorsing a slate of Arizona Republican candidates: Kari Lake, who is running for governor; Blake Masters, who is running for U.S. Senate; U.S. Reps. Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar, who are both seeking re-election; Finchem; and Rogers.

The Gab posting has since been deleted.

Only Finchem and Rogers have promoted Torba’s endorsement. The Arizona Mirror asked the candidates he backed or their representatives whether they accept or reject Torba’s endorsement, given his recent antisemitic comments and his history of antisemitism. 

Lake’s campaign was the only one to respond. “It goes without saying, the Kari Lake Campaign for Governor absolutely denounces bigotry in all its forms, especially anti-semitism. We have never sought this endorsement,” spokesman Ross Trumble said in an emailed statement.
