Arizona election results have not been called yet as counting is still underway and MAGA supporters are crying foul for Republican Kari Lake as she is projected to lose the Senate election while Donald Trump is the projected winner in Arizona. According to the NYT, the count in Arizona takes several days here because many voters vote by mail. Donald Trump at 52.3% and Kamala Harris at 46.8%. In the Senate race, however, Republican Kari Lake is trailing at 47.9% and Ruben Gallego is ahead at 50.1%.
GOP supporters questioned how a Republican candidate could lose an election won by Republicans.
“Republicans won the Senate and the House. Kari Lake is just a bad candidate,” one post said. Many social media users claimed that Kari Lake won and that there was an attempt to steal the Arizona Senate election. “Trump already won so it’s too big to rig against him so they’re blocking Kari Lake,” one post read. “Why haven’t they figured out Arizona yet and what’s going on at Kari Lake, suggesting there was fraud involved,” wrote one.
“I’m not surprised. Kari Tal is a bad candidate,” wrote one.
“It’s not unusual. People were warning that Lake would split the ticket all cycle. You can no longer pretend this is circumstantial evidence of fraud. Gallego led the entire race, usually by a wide margin. She was the worst major candidate. Of the cycle,” One wrote.
