Arizona megathread

[South Dakota Democrat]

For all the criticisim Hobbs has got, she's kept it a close race until the very end and given the Fetterman debacle I do think her choice to skip the debate was the right one.

This is 100% wrong. Hobbs did not have a stroke, and it would have helped her for so many more people to witness how crazy Kari Lake is.

Lake has done numerous TV hits and has had numerous press conferences and appearances covered by the media. If people do not know how crazy she is by now, they simply don't care. This talking point makes no sense.

It would be an hour long debate, though, with more opportunity for her to say crazy things.  I wouldn't say it makes no sense.

I'm assuming that Lake is full of sh!t here. Certification is usually pretty final...examples of elections that took so long to resolve (like FL 2000 and MN-SEN 2008) were actually examples of delayed certification, and that House race in North Carolina in 2018 was actually never certified. I don't know of the last time certifications has ever been reversed for any election, and it wouldn't surprise me if it's never occured in the 21st century.

That's actually not true. In most states, you can't challenge until after certification.

Then in most states challenging (at least the way she intends to) is pretty much impossible because I don't know the last time a certified election was overturned. It had to be a LONG time ago (or very low profile.)

It's more a function of it being difficult to challenge an election,  rather than it making a difference whether it's certified or not.
