Republican Kari Lake could still catch up to Democrat Katie Hobbs in Arizona’s race for governor. Election workers continue to tabulate ballots in several...
As Trump touts big announcement coming Tuesday as he itches to launch 2024 presidential campaign, he still pushes vote fraud allegations.
On Friday, Masters said he would not concede until “every legal vote is counted.” That same day, Fox News host Tucker Carlson asked Lake what she thought of social media posts that suggest her opponent didn’t campaign aggressively because she planned to cheat.

Arizona lowered the threshold required for a recount to 0.5% of votes cast for the top two candidates earlier this year. The defeats of Finchem and Masters, who has said Trump would be in the White House today if the 2020 election had been “free and fair,” have raised the stakes in the governor’s race. Lake was seen as the most popular of the Trump-endorsed candidates and has been the subject of speculation as a possible contender for Trump’s 2024 running mate.
“We are absolutely not slow-rolling it,” Gates said Thursday. “And quite frankly, it is offensive for Kari Lake to say that.” Officials have discussed the issue in several news conferences and said no voters were disenfranchised. “They’re trying to pour cold water on this movement,” Lake said Thursday during an interview with Kirk, the founder of the conservative youth activist group Turning Point USA, which is headquartered in Phoenix. “This movement is on fire and no amount of water is going to put that fire out.”
Those factors have left Arizona election officials in a difficult position, as some of the most high-profile proponents of false election fraud claims are now awaiting the results in the highly competitive race between Lake and Hobbs.
