Lake knows she lost the election, this is all about continuing to collect money from suckers.

This is about raising money for future political ambitions. Lake knows she lost, as certainly as Trump knew he lost in 2020 once the vote tallies were finalized and certified. Her entire demeanor and approach to this whole post-election tantrum conveys a very clear understanding that she knows she lost and she also knows that her claims that she "won by 200,000 votes" are bogus. There are always glitches and equipment issues and a whole array of problems associated with elections, but there are solutions to all of them which make it possible for every voter's ballot to count accurately. The failure of a handful of printers in Maricopa County provided cover for Lake's bogus claims, but the county was right on top of that and documented the fact that every voter who chose to cast a ballot did so, and their votes were counted.

Kari Lake will never become governor of Arizona, certainly not at all based on an election that she clearly lost. She's trying to figure out her next move, and she wants her supporters to pay for her time and effort. And that's what this is all about.

Election deniers thrive on ignorance. It's not easy to admit that a majority or plurality of voters don't see things the way a specific candidate may see them. The polarization that we've seen, introduced by hostile media elements, promoted by various extremist factions including elements of the religious right, has introduced an "all or nothing" attitude into politics, which makes it difficult to make government work. So convincing people who don't really pay much attention to anything except their own self, that someone is "rigging" elections is easier than it should be.
