Kari Lake Strikes Back - Arizona Saga Is Not Finished

Hey, everybody, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America

We're back here on our way to a new year, but the Arizona election is still not over

Is that true? What's going on? We're going to get right to that. But first, before we get started, please make sure you like subscribe and

follow us at Explain America on Facebook. Also make sure you leave a comment and absolutely make sure you share this

But comments are important. We love to read those. We really want to read your comments on this

Now let's get to the story. As you guys know, Katie Hobbs, the governor elect of Arizona, the Democrat

was challenged by Carrie Lake, the Republican endorsed by former president Donald Trump

Now it was about 17,000 or so votes that Hobbs won by, which is pretty

razor thin in a state like that. And Lake had suspicions. Now she had reasons for her suspicions because a lot of things

happened in Maricopa County that day. There were printing problems. There were ballot problems

There were all kinds of issues in Maricopa County, which happens to

be the largest county in the state. However, at this point, Maricopa County saying, look, we checked everything

We checked all the facts. We checked the vote totals. Everything's correct. We're all good

Everything's fine. Katie Hobbs won. Now it is important to keep in mind that the people that are running things in

Maricopa County are also Republicans like Carrie Lake. So it's not Democrats, you know, helping a Democrat kind of thing

They are Republicans. And so obviously Hobbs feels secure in her victory

Lake says not so fast. Now Lake takes her to court and takes the state to court and Maricopa County to

court, I should say, and, and says, look, we want, you know, here's the evidence

we have that there was something amiss with this election, something is wrong

and we want to get it fixed. Now over 200 people submitted statements saying they had problems voting in

Maricopa County that day and they were given to the judge in the court

However, the judge said many of those people were still able to vote even

though they had the issues, but that's a sampling and it doesn't show you how many people actually were turned away and whatnot

So the judge ruled in favor of Katie Hobbs, the Democrat and Katie Hobbs is

now officially, well, once they certify it, the governor elect and well, no

it was certified. I'm sorry. So she's officially the governor elect and she's going to become the governor

And there's probably not much hope at this point for Carrie Lake

I'm going to be honest with you guys in terms of her trying to overturn this election defeat

Uh, however she is, she did make an announcement and her announcement is that she is going to appeal the judge's decision in her words to restore faith

and integrity in the elections. So she's still going to appeal the verdict

She still believes she was robbed and she still believes that, you know, there

was shenanigans in Maricopa County. That's the second time I remember things happening in Maricopa County

that probably shouldn't have. It doesn't mean there's shenanigans. It doesn't mean something's wrong

It doesn't mean anything was stolen. What it does mean is Maricopa County has to get its act together

when it comes to elections. This is unacceptable. Literally two elections in a row

It can't continue like this because you're creating people believing that something is a miss when you have these kind of crazy things happening every

election day. So there you have it folks. What do you think is going to happen
