Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake repeats claims about voter fraud as CNN's Dana Bash pushes back: 'There was no evidence of any of that'

The Republican candidate for governor of Arizona was questioned about her claim that the election was fraudulent.

On CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday, host Dana Bash pushed back as Lake insisted that there was a lot of evidence that the election was stolen.

You said the 2020 election was rigged. There was no proof that any of those things are true. Why do you continue to say that? Bush wanted to know.

There were 740,000 votes with no chain of custody. Lake said that the ballots should not have been counted. There is a lot of evidence. It can be found. I will send it to you. The media isn't covering it.

Bush said that what you said had been discredited.

Insider previously reported that Lake helped to stop the use of voting machines in Arizona by repeating Trump's false claims.

Lake said that the 2020 election was stolen, but there was no evidence to support that.

Lake said that they have the right to question the government and the elections. We have a problem when the media cancels people for questioning their government.

CNN cut to a group of Trump's Justice Department officials who all made statements under oath that there was no substantial voter fraud in the 2020 election.

Bash said that these are President Trump's own Justice Department officials. Why don't you think they are right?

Lake said that officials in some Arizona counties ran out of ballot in the primary election in August. Bash said that officials apologized in order to be transparent.

"If leaders like you and President Trump are saying that the election was stolen, aren't you participating, contributing, and causing people to think that the election is not safe and secure?" Bash wanted to know.

Lake said no.
