Failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake posted another allegation this week purporting to demonstrate fraud in the 2022 election that saw her lose to Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs.

"BOMBSHELL TESTIMONY," Lake tweeted. "Today’s Senate Testimony CONFIRMS nearly 40,000 ballots illegally counted (10% of the signatures reviewed). I think all the 'Election Deniers' out there deserve an apology."

But on Tuesday, ABC15 elections analyst Garrett Archer debunked Lake's claim, explaining the simple, non-fraudulent reason why these thousands of ballots didn't match voter signatures on record with the motor vehicle bureau.

In addition to claiming that America would "turn into a Venezuela" if she wasn't named governor of Arizona anyway, Lake has also backed former President Donald Trump's calls to "terminate" the Constitution for the sake of reinstating him as president.

“Never Mind”.

2. They certainly deserve something, but not an apology.

JHC, Lake is such a clown.

3. I'd wager that the sigs on the left come from touch screens, like for credit cards

Which nobody seriously bothers with making right ... it's actually really difficult to do so because they're near-vertical in front of you, not laid down flat like you'd be doing a ballot. And you do it with a pen, not your fingertip.

You'll notice almost all the right are much more carefully done, because people were taking pains to make sure their signature on the ballot envelope was 'real', i.e. the signer knows this is an important part of verification. Whereas nobody cares on these credit card 'signatures'.

I'd bet '2020' is much less important than the capture method, and the signer 'caring' what their sig looks like.

Bank it ...
