Regardless of your politics, the fact that it takes almost a week for a single state in a first world country to count votes once is beyond ludicrous

Hobbs in charge of overseeing elections in Arizona while being the candidate is a crazy conflict of interest to me. How’s that even allowed?

Right, after taking 5 days to count 640, 000 ballots, and with Katie Hobbes herself overseeing the ballot counting.

The very definition of "free and fair" and of course it was. Katie said so, whereas Lake even wanted to make sure her own primary victory was looked into to ensure it was counted properly.

It doesn't take a week to count the votes, it takes a week to count how many more votes you need.

A week to count the votes???
Yeah that definitely sounds legitimate

“Nothing to see here” - Katie as she counts the votes.

It took a week but they finally found enough votes.

The Arizona election should be done again and have all elements working properly and I bet there would be a drastic difference. It looks like this was set up to have many problems to fix the results

Finally, it certainly took long enough for her to find the votes she needed.

I guess that's just one of the perks associated with being in charge of counting your own ballots.

The person who did not debate or run won? Is that the new norm, hide and win?

[jimderksen]

This time the fraud is blatant and in your face. Accountability needs to happen.

She wouldnt even debate her opponent and won LOL. Nothing wrong here at all. Just like the mental health guy who won up north LOL Good night everyone ROTFLOL

[theOGKitchenerleslie]

how many days does it take to count votes??? Should be less than 24hrs.

[dranderson]

Arizona used to be such a great state. That was 20 years ago. Couldn't pay me to visit again

[vovin]

It's reasons like this that I always have a good laugh when Americans cry about election fraud in other countries

[swiftfuegon]

I don't believe this for a second. Katie didn't even show up to debate. Something stinks! It's fishy!

[jamieinnes]

Very sad state of affairs. Ask one Hobbs supporter why they voted for her. Bet they have no idea why. Didn't even debate. Lake was the better option to fix the country and the state yet voters care less about fixing the state and would rather hand GOP a loss as she was a trump backed candidate. Wake up folks and start voting for real change rather then the same old disaster democrats.

Shame, the wolf minding the hen house!

[donmatchett]

It's not who gets to vote, it's who counts the votes
