5:21Now PlayingFailed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has decided that her best course of action is to sue Maricopa County for election issues instead of admitting that she lost the election earlier this month. The race has already been called, and the outgoing Republican governor has already congratulated Democrat Katie Hobbs on her victory, but Lake doesn't seem to care about any of that. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

So loser, Kerry Lake, who as we all know at this point, has lost the gubernatorial election in the state of Arizona. Swears that folks, she ain't given up. And she of course, went on Steve Bannon's podcast at the end of last week to announce that she has filed a lawsuit to challenge the election results in the state of Arizona. Now, the margin was close. She only lost by about 17,000 votes statewide. So that is pretty close. And we do know, as we've discussed, there were some election irregularities in the state of Arizona. Specifically. What happened was that in about 77 of the states, what 223 or 70 of the states, 223 counties, um, they had printed their ballots too light. The ballots were too light to be read by the scanners. So while they were getting new ballots printed up, they had to have people wait in line or they told 'em they could basically cast a provisional ballot that would be counted by hand later.
So it's either wait or you can cast your ballot over here and we'll just have to hand count it. Nobody was disenfranchised. Some people did choose to wait and they made that choice to do so. But according to officials in the state, they did not have record reports of people actually leaving. Everybody who wanted to vote basically got to vote. And of course, the most important thing, this wasn't done maliciously, so there is no crime to speak of. But Carrie Lake, as I mentioned, she's a sore loser. She's been hanging out a lot with Donald Trump. She's learned from his tactics that oh, definitely worked so well for him, right, Carrie? So now you're trying to do the same thing, which is only going to prolong the inevitable. It's gonna make you look like a complete and total loser. Not once, but twice, just like all the Republicans did in the state of Arizona following the 2020 election.
You weren't happy with the results cuz y'all lost. So then you did the recount and you lost the recount. Then you did the signature verification and you lost again. Then you did the first ballot audit with cyber ninjas. Drug that out for almost a year, and you lost again. And actually you lost by even more votes. Then you did multiple other ballot audits after the cyber ninjas won, and you lost each and every one of those. So I don't think this is gonna go any different for Carrie Lake. She is just prolonging the inevitable, which is of course the entire country viewing her as a complete and total loser because that is what she is. You ran an extreme campaign. You spouted conspiracy theories, you threw out garbage and nonsense. And the voters said, we've had enough of it. They rejected you and they rejected your viewpoints. It's also worth noting that a lot of Republicans in the state did flip their vote.
They did not vote for Kerry Lake, but they did vote for other Republicans down the ballot. You had a lot of split ballots that shows that it wasn't because of voter disenfranchisement in Arizona. It was because of voters openly and publicly rejecting Kerry Lake. But nevertheless, she has filed this lawsuit. She wants the names and phone numbers and addresses of all these voters that got turned away. She wants all the information of these election officials. She wants all the data from the machine. She wants it all. Give it to her. Right? What do you have to lose?
