He persisted: “Voter fraud – DO THE ELECTION OVER, or claim Kari, Blake [Masters], Abe [Hamadeh] the winners. Act Rapid!!!”
Trump’s declare that Lake couldn’t vote in her district, on the other hand, has been debunked by way of the candidate herself, who has already stated she traveled to another space and had no issues.
“We switched from a Republican space to vote, we got here proper down into the center of liberal Phoenix to vote as a result of we needed to make certain that we had excellent machines,” Lake stated on Election Day.
“And bet what? They’ve had 0 issues of their machines lately. Now not one device spit out a poll right here lately, no longer one in an excessively liberal space.”
