While the mainstream media has called every other state in the country for Donald Trump and almost all other candidates, Maricopa County and some other Arizona counties are still tabulating ballots several days after the election, leaving the results of the U.S. Senate race between Kari Lake and Ruben Gallego up in the air. In response, Turning Point USA and Lake supporters launched a massive ballot curing effort, and Lake sent a stern letter to Pima County about anomalies.
Arizona has not announced its presidential results even though Trump is leading by 6 points over Kamala Harris with 99 percent of precincts reporting. When Joe Biden ostensibly won the state in 2020 by 10,457 votes, or 49.4 percent to 49.1 percent, Fox News called the election for Biden on election night.
Two very reputable polls taken immediately prior to the election showed Lake ahead of Gallego; Data Orbital with 1 point and AtlasIntel with 2 points. AtlasIntel showed Trump leading in all battleground states, some by only 1 point, ultimately proving correct.
Fears are arising that there could be fraud in Lake’s race similar to what happened in her race for governor in 2022. An exit poll by Rasmussen Reports, also considered a very accurate pollster, found that Lake really won that race over Democrat Katie Hobbs by 8 points. Lake is still embroiled in litigation over her loss.
