Arizona megathread

[jamestroll]

Let latinos in Arizona and not ones from communist or socialist countries. No cubans.. and give them voting rights immediately!!!!!!

If you live outside of Arizona, do virtual text or phone banking for Hobbs and any of the Democrats.

The stakes are too high. Another GOP sweep in Arizona would mean the state will run out of water in the next few years.

I was told Lake was running the superior campaign though?

Not sure why people on here are obsessed with Lake allegedly running some grand campaign when every stop along the way has been a total hot mess.

I wouldn't say she's running a good campaign, it's more like Hobbs has a steeper hill to climb than she does. Though stuff like this may come back to hurt Lake.

Hobbs should take power irrespective of actual results!!!! It is not like Lake would certify a Biden victory in Arizona in 2024 even if Biden won the state.

ABC hammering Hobbs on Good Morning America. Had her stammering and stuttering. Crazy stuff.

Shouldn't making fun of people's speech impediments be beneath you?

Anyone have insights into the Attorney General and Secretary of State races  that Democrats seem to be doing better than the governors races in?

I do think irrespective whether Lake or Hobbs wins or who wins Secretary of State, that if push came to shove and Arizona voted for Biden in 2024 that even Lake and the Republicans would end up certifying the results for Biden.

That would be different from January 6th. It would be a successful over turn of popular will of Arizona. Look how close these races are in a Biden midterm in Arizona. The backlash to the GOP in the next midterm would be very harsh against the GOP if they actually overturned the popular will of voters in Arizona, a marginal state.

I can say the same for Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Virginia (borderline contestable).

Attorney general race is quite parrallel to the governorship. Hamadeh is a pretty good candidate on paper, Mayes is very sleepy unenthusiastic if you watched the debate. I think Hamadeh has the best odds to win compared to Lake/Masters/Finchem although Lake is catching up quickly.

Secretary of State has a lot less campaigning going on, from what I've seen. Finchem might be a weaker candidate, but on a night where Lake/Masters/Hamadeh are winning I think he joins them as well. I mean how many "pro-democracy" people are there who are voting Kari Lake but draw the line at Finchem?

Do you think Biden won Arizona that Lake and Finchem  would actually refuse to certify and send Trump/DeSantis/whoever the gop nominates electors instead?

I am fully expecting literal street fights between Hobbs and Lake supporters in the next few days/weeks.
