As Arizona counties prepare to certify the results of the election before a Monday deadline, Republicans, including the governor's candidate, continue to make false claims about the election process.

Lake, who lost the governor's race by one point, has refused to concede and has filed a lawsuit against the election officials.

After ballot-tabulator printers malfunctioned at about 20% of polling locations in Maricopa County on Election Day, officials urged voters to use secure drop boxes, and Republicans have seized on the issue to argue that they led to inaccuracies in the results.

Trump wrote on Truth Social that Arizona election officials were running a "criminal voting operation" and demanded that Lake be "installed Governor of Arizona."

Lake is attempting to contest the results of the 2020 presidential election and is being counseled by Steve Bannon, who was Trump's chief strategist and helped plot to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

The election results in Mohave and Cochise Counties were delayed last week due to issues with the vote-counting in Cochise.

The incoming state senator said he will open an investigation into the election process in Arizona next year.

After receiving hundreds of complaints about the election process, the Arizona Attorney General's office called on the county to provide a report on its voting machines.

Tangent

After a judge ruled that the tabulation machine errors did not deny anyone their right to vote, a coalition of Republican organizations lost their bid to extend voting hours.

Surprising Fact

Lake is one of only a few candidates who have refused to concede her own election even though she lost. The Arizona Senate candidate who suggested big tech censorship rigged the 2020 election in President Joe Biden's favor gave up his seat to the incumbent senator. The Trump-backed candidates for governor conceded their losses. Mark Finchem, a prominent 2020 presidential election denier, has joined Lake in refusing to admit defeat. The Republican candidate for attorney general filed a lawsuit against Kris Mayes and the election officials in the county in order to be declared the winner.

Big Number

A poll finds that most Republicans believe the midterms were free and fair.

There is a string of losses among candidates who cast doubt on the 2020 presidential election.

A judge has rejected the Arizona GOP's lawsuit to extend voting hours.
