    don't forget that in many of these races, the democratic machine supported the MAGA candidate under the belief that the MAGA candidate will be easier to beat. Personally, I think that was a foolish strategy

    Yep, a dangerous gamble. If they get elected in the general, that will be a problem. Particularly with respect to secretaries of state in places like AZ, MI, PA etc

    Yeah… in general, I’m opposed to any disingenuous practices in the name of realpolitik. Makes you just as bad as the other guy. I like to win the right way.

    If this were Cheatifornia, I would be worried:

    Kari Lake May Have Pulled It Out – RedState

    I agree that Trump endorsed Kari Lake is going to pull this out after having been behind early last night. It's close in Maricopa County and Lake won every other county in Arizona.

    Lake vs. Hobbs (the dem secretary of state cheater) come November. Get the popcorn, this will be fun.

    Who could imagine, after watching Trump not have a plan about almost anything for his 4 years in office and actually try to destroy America with his election lies, swallowing this much absolute crap?

    You're putting your faith in a man that thought ingesting bleach might cure COVID.

    The Arizona Secretary of State isn't responsible for printing and distributing ballots in Arizona. The Secretary of State is only responsible for validating the vote counts at the end, after each precinct reports results to their respective county, which then rolls up to the state. Katie Hobbs was doing her job in 2020, and backed by the R Governor of the State, as well as the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, 4 out of 5 of which are also Rs. This bullshit that there is widespread voter fraud has to stop. Provide actual evidence, please.

    As for Pinal County, the current County Head of Elections has only been in the job for six months, and is the third person to hold the job since 2020. There are supposed to be up to five people working as support staff in this department, and this too has seen high turnover over the last 24 months. Why? Because assholes who think there is widespread election fraud, despite all evidence to the contrary, are making election worker's lives miserable. Nobody wants to stay in a job where idiot yokels berate them for just simply doing their job, and doing it accurately.

    Or maybe we should congratulate the Trumpkins? Their claims of election fraud may have become a self-fulfilling prophesy. Maybe it was their plan all along? Screw fair and free democratic elections, and make sure only Trump supporters have the power to decide elections. It's how Fascist Dictators end up staying in power.

    Putin's wet dream. The moment Hillary, as SOS, questioned the legimatacy of his election, Putin has been determined to undermine the legitimacy of US elections. And yet some continue to worship Trump and his corrupt election schtick in a truly tribal, cultist way.

    Kari Lake is another MAGA-lite fraud who was declaring yesterday's election rigged before it was over because she was behind during early returns. Another cultist smitten with a carnival barker whose slogans and unproven, ridiculous allegations you tend to repeat like gospel while he fleeces the MAGA herd and grifts the government. God help us.

    And with as many votes as are left to be counted in Phoenix, this has recount written all over it.

    Your silly BS about d . . s . . c . . is just plain juvenile. Grow up.

    Trump endorses extremist, crybaby candidates, who whine about imaginary voter fraud even before the election . . . just . . . like . . . Trump. And they will LOSE in the general election.

    This means that she cheated right? Because she was behind and then pulled ahead at night. I was told that was evidence of cheating. Why are you cheering a woman who cheated?

    "Lol... yeah, who wants the best economy in American history repeating itself with Trump again."

    Man, you believed all Trump's LIES about the economy. Obama, not Trump, turned the economy around after the Great Recession brought on by Bush. Trump simply rode Obama's coat-tails.

    Furthermore, the last 3 years under Obama were BETTER THAN the first 3 years under Trump.

    For once, try responding with FACTS, rather than Trump propaganda. :)

    I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that if she wins, she won’t call for a re-do based upon the fraud she claims was going on.

    I don't disagree with you, but the hyperbolic labels are common from both sides of the equation. In fact I think I saw it later on page 1 of this thread. Granted someone who uses those labels as part of making a point probably isn't interested in meaningful dialogue, at least not at that moment.

    Trump taking credit for the continuation of trends that began years before he took office, who would have thought? And let's also not forget that when Obama was in office Trump and his fellow travelers kept repeating the line the labor market data and especially the unemployment rate was phony yet Trump started taking credit for supposedly "phony" unemployment rate data calculated by the same agency (the BLS) and using the same methodology that it used when Obama was in office.
    19 times Trump called jobs numbers ‘fake’ before they made him look good
