Desantis did it by NOT playing with the dims. I hope Lake is merciless on the dims like Desantis.

DESANTIS is riding the Florida's Red Wace of PRESIDENT TRUMP'S 2020 campaign. TRUMP untiredly prepared the fertile ground for him to plant on.

How soon people forget.

Yes we are, but its been clear for a long time that we are a nation in decline. The system and culture that once made this country great is breaking down.

I still don’t get how it’s legal for the person in charge of the election is running for the governor job. She should have stepped down as SoS

Sounds like the remaining votes are mostly Lake and she will win in spite of vote irregularities.

Is Lake at heart and actress, meaning, presuming she wins this election, will she leave the honeymoon-phase cocoon she’s in having metamorphosized into a RINO?

May be totally off base here, but am just getting that kind of feeling, based on the vibes she gives off during certain adverse interviews during which her interlocutor gets under her skin.

She doesn’t say it, but the phrase from Romney circa 2012 comes to mind—”I’m a severe conservative.” As in, said no conservative ever...

Lake’s spokeswoman said at this point it’s mathematically impossible for Lake not to win. Hope she’s right. I’ve never seen anyone campaign as hard as she did.

Well said. I would say, however I am more than guardedly optimistic— closer to fairly confident the Red slate is going to pull this out in the end for the reasons stated by Nextrush in post 13.

A lot of hard work was done state wide in Az Some of it was literally historic.

Very true.

Too bad the same can't be said in PA.

70% of 400,000 is 280,000.

30% of 400,000 is 120,000.

If Hobbs is up by 10,000 votes, and gets 120,000 and Lake gets 280,000, Lake wins.

The 7,000 provisionals won’t help Hobbs.

“DESANTIS is riding the Florida’s Red Wace of PRESIDENT TRUMP’S 2020 campaign. TRUMP untiredly prepared the fertile ground for him to plant on.

How soon people forget.”

Not forgotten at all. But to say that seems to take away Desantis’ accomplishments. Yes Desantis does benefit from Trumps 2020 campaign but what happened last night in Floirda is due largely to Desantis leadership decisions over 4 years.

Desantis and Scott barely won 4 years ago and almost had it stolen by the Palm Beach Co. elections official who kept printing ballots a week after the election. Rubio ordered the police to raid the office, literally, to stop the steal. Now there are no election shenanigans, and he wins by 20 points. Yes Trump gets some credit, but Desantis knocked it out of the park.

That is ancient history, nobody cares.
DeSantis earned his landslide victory and doesn’t owe anything to Trump at this point.

The biggest reason Lake needs to win is that she recognizes that elections are rigged and she will either expose it or die trying. For that reason she is probably the most important candidate in the entire election.

Tiger claws, ping to this; which is the latest figure, 400,000 per your post:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4107599/posts?page=15#15

I’m so jaded at this point I won’t believe any of it until Hobbs concedes, along with Kelly and Laxalt’s opponent.

Biggest turnout I have seen in AZ since I have lived here (’94). My wife said the same, and she has lived here most of her life. We voted after work and the community college down the street had a 3-hour wait (We were told).

Voted at a small church near my house where there was no line, but it was very busy and was still humming when I left.

The poll workers were very nice, helpful and organized.

Andy Biggs was on the radio here this morning and said it was very curious that the Rep strategy was a strong day-of ground game and then there is a huge problem at the polling places. It took them eight hours to figure to the ballot printing problems? Really? Then problems with the tabulators?

Even a non-partisan person would look at all of it and at least have some notion there was something else going on.

I don’t believe in coincidences.

Please God, let Kari Lake win.

There needs to be a statewide audit of Dominion machines, and she would be the only governor who would do it.

Kari Lake will take the lead today and will never lose it again. The pattern as the primary.

GOVERNOR KARI LAKE
