Kari Lake has kept up an outstanding degree of popularity inside the state despite her failed bid for governor of Arizona. According to a recent poll cited by Newsweek, there is a good probability that Arizonans will support her and elect her as one of their lawmakers if she decides to run for senator in 2020.
Arizonans were asked to choose between three different candidates in a recent Public Policy Polling poll: Republican Lake, Democrat Ruben Gallego, and Senator Kyrsten Sinema, who recently declared her political independence. In this unusual election year, it will be interesting to watch which candidate they ultimately choose!
The poll showed that Lake had a resounding victory over the other two candidates, receiving an overwhelming majority of the vote.

“Fresh new Arizona numbers!” PPP, which is affiliated with the Democrat Party, said on Twitter. “In a three way race Kyrsten Sinema would get just 13% to 41% for Kari Lake and 40% for Ruben Gallego.”
“Gallego’s net favorability rating is 24 points better than Sinema’s. He’s at +8 (35/27), she’s at -16 (31/47),” it said.
“Sinema is mostly just liked by conservatives now. She has a 43/27 favorability rating with Trump voters and only a 20/69 one with Biden voters,” the group said.
“Sinema doesn’t have a real path to victory. But she could have a spoiler effect. Gallego leads Lake 48-47 when she isn’t in the mix because her support draws slightly more from Biden than Trump voters.
“Gallego does 4 points better in a head to head against Lake than Sinema does. Conservatives might like her at the moment but they aren’t actually willing to vote for her,” it said.
“You don’t need a poll to understand why voters aren’t happy with Senator Sinema: she’s consistently voted with Wall Street bankers and big drug companies, and against the interests of Arizonans,” Gallego said. “Sinema’s values are not Arizona’s values. Writing a different letter after her name isn’t going to change that.”
Secretary Katie Hobbs’ attorneys filed a number of legal papers this week in an effort to shield their client from having to appear in court for the contentious election case filed by Kari Lake. It seems to be an interesting hearing because one decision might have a big impact and both sides are vying for the advantage.
In an effort to prevent their client from having to appear in court for the controversial election case brought by Kari Lake, Secretary Katie Hobbs’ attorneys submitted a variety of legal documents this week. Due to the potential consequence of one ruling and the competitive nature of both parties, the hearing appears to be entertaining.
Joya Lake filed a complaint, alleging that Maricopa County voting irregularities may have cost her the 17,000 votes she needed to win. County officials, however, maintain that there was no fraud throughout the voting process. Will justice be done or will these allegations be forgotten?
According to the Western Journal, State Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson rejected Hobbs’ motion on Monday night, stating in his order that the pertinent concerns surround “an activity fully within her wheelhouse: the conduct of elections.”
Despite an earlier decision, Hobbs’ attorneys filed a motion on Monday night claiming that their client was not directly involved in either of the two allegations in Lake’s case and that any testimony was therefore superfluous.
“Though there was no good-faith basis for the Subpoena to begin with … there is absolutely no good faith basis to require the Secretary to testify now given the scope of the MTD Order,” Hobbs’ legal team noted in their second motion.
“And to the extent Plaintiff has any questions that are relevant (and there is simply no way she could), Kori Lorick, State Elections Director, has already been disclosed as a potential witness who ‘may testify regarding the Arizona Secretary of State’s election-related duties and responsibilities, or other matters related to the Secretary of State’s Office relevant to this case,’” Hobbs’ attorneys added.
That led Arizona Republican state Sen. Wendy Rogers to tweet in response: “Katie Hobbs just filed a Motion to Quash. Good luck. She refused to debate and now she doesn’t want to testify?”
In an unusually dramatic move on Tuesday, Lake’s attorney withdrew the subpoena that sought to include Maricopa County in her trial. Garrett Archer, a political analyst for KNXV-TV, noted that this tactic change shows an understanding of what is really at risk in these proceedings, protecting the secretary of state’s office from any potential legal repercussions.
Maricopa County’s election integrity is under intense scrutiny as a result of Lake’s complaint, which claims substantial difficulties with ballot printers and tabulators at nearly 60% of polling places, faults that authorities say caused issues for more than one-third of voters.
According to the plaintiff’s lawsuit, willful interference with the voting process on Election Day resulted in lengthy lineups, broken equipment, and a host of other issues that prevented thousands of individuals from exercising their right to vote.
