In response to the 2022 election issues, Kari Lake filed a groundbreaking lawsuit against Katie Hobbs and Maricopa County officials, seeking to invalidate the election results for governor. Lake’s lawsuit demands a complete audit of machine failures and signature verification to expose alleged malpractices.
Within the filing, a whistleblower from Runbeck revealed that “hundreds of thousands” of ballots lacked any chain-of-custody documentation, echoing similar findings from the contentious 2020 election. This paperwork discrepancy cast doubt over thousands of ballots and has led to renewed calls for transparency in Arizona’s electoral procedures.
Fast forward to the ongoing Senate race, and similar issues are reportedly plaguing Arizona’s election process. Kari Lake’s Senate campaign recently issued a letter demanding answers from Pima County officials after discovering discrepancies in ballot reports.
According to Lake’s team, Pima County’s tally of uncounted ballots increased by 14,666 between reports filed at 1:23 pm and 3:23 pm on November 8. The campaign cited an alarming sequence of events where a report timestamped at 3:23 pm was initially identical to the one uploaded at 1:23 pm but was later altered to reflect different numbers without an updated timestamp.
Lake’s letter calls for “complete transparency as to the ballots tabulated and the ballots awaiting tabulation” and seeks “a complete accounting as to discrepancies that have been identified in the publicly reported data.”
These issues harken back to Arizona’s 2020 election, where an analysis by Verity Vote uncovered over 20,000 ballots counted without proper chain-of-custody documentation. This revelation triggered a firestorm of controversy, as multiple news sources highlighted the state’s flawed election practices. Despite evidence suggesting irregularities, a full investigation into these issues was never conducted, leaving many Arizonans frustrated and distrustful of the electoral process.

As these irregularities continue, Arizona voters are left questioning the validity of their elections. Many ask why a state that saw a majority of voters favor Trump in the 2020 presidential race is now seeing significant support for a Democratic Senate candidate.
According to the Lake campaign’s letter, Arizona’s election officials “must provide an immediate explanation of the discrepancies in the numbers” and detail “how the number of uncounted ballots increased” in the span of two hours on November 8.
For many conservative voters, these ballot discrepancies fuel suspicions that election integrity in Arizona is at risk.
