This is one of those articles with which I know I'm just asking for grief, but if it is exploring truth and actually asking questions that will get answers. It will help conservatives win long-term, so I'll take the beating. 

If you've read my articles about the state that I live in (Michigan), you might have caught some of my musings about what an absolute dumpster fire the Grand Old Party is here in the Great Lake State. I'm quite certain that the Michigan GOP in February elected somebody as its chair who has to be an undercover Democrat sent to destroy the Party internally--to ensure that Democrats, out in the open, will rule this state and keep it blue for many years to come.

In case you didn't know and had heard some idiotic rumors stating Michigan is NOT a deep blue state, you don't have to take my word for it; you just have to look at results which, without a doubt, tell the story.

 Michigan has not elected a Conservative Republican since 1998 (25 years ago), with John Engler.

 Michigan has not elected a Republican as a United States Senator since 1994 (29 years ago), with Spencer Abraham.

 Michigan did hold a Republican majority in the State House in the State Senate because of the redistricting that former John Engler did in 1990 and 2000 with the United States census.  That has eroded, and in 2022, Democrats took control of both the governor's mansion, and the House and the Senate, for the first time in over 30 years.

Michigan is years from being purple, and people saying otherwise are playing the hardworking folks in this state.

So imagine my surprise when in 2020, President Donald Trump LOST reliably red Arizona (or so I thought) by almost the same amount Trump won Michigan in 2016--just over 10,000 votes. Then two years later, Kari Lake lost her bid for Governor by about 17,000 votes.

Maybe Arizona is being affected, like other southwestern states, by a flood of liberal refugees coming from California, Oregon, and Washington.

When I read right here that Lake is still contesting her Governor's loss and is now running for the nomination for Senate, I had to take a deep breath and remind myself the GOP does almost everything a**-backward and calls it cutting edge.

Failed Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake had her request to appeal her election lawsuit directly to the Arizona Supreme Court denied Wednesday. 

The former television anchor had previously requested that the state’s highest court take up her case, after she had lost her second trial in Maricopa County Superior Court in May. In that case, she called for either a new election or to be named governor. 

Lake also requested that sanctions be brought against Maricopa County.

So far, none of her requests have been granted and yet she has now decided that her next move is running for Senate.

Lake is currently running for U.S. Senate with the endorsement of former President Donald Trump. Lake has still not conceded to her loss in the 2022 election and has falsely claimed to be the state’s “lawful Governor.” 

You have not yet proven the last election was stolen, and the plan is to run for another and have it (possibly) stolen.

BRILLIANT. 

I covered this idea of not fixing fraud and just assuming that it will magically fix itself, with camping rallies and speeches. I'm pretty sure that won't work.

If Alleged Election Rigging Isn't Fixed, It Won't Matter Who Wins the GOP Nomination

There have been some dirty li’l secrets and or questions that no one in the Trump campaign, or any Republican for that matter, has addressed head-on, and I think it is time to tackle them.

If the 2020 election was rigged for Trump to lose, then what steps have the National and State GOP  organizations taken to correct that in the states where this occurred?

The answer is zilch, and if I’m wrong, you can hit up my bio and let me know exactly why at my email address.

Now the reason this popped up in my mind is that an article about the upcoming Michigan GOP confab in September says that some famous guests who have claimed fraud will be featured. I touched on this conference briefly in my radio show yesterday, which was posted here at RedState: Duke Over America, WAAM Radio Edition 238: Sunday, July 30th, 2023.

Demographics change over time. Here in Michigan, those who were more likely to vote Republican have moved out of the state or have passed on. Possibly, the same thing is happening in Arizona but also is probably a factor of people fleeing blue states moving to a red state and still voting the same way they did in their former state. 

So, how do you optimize those getting those who are more inclined to vote for your candidate out to vote? I know in Michigan, they are nowhere close to figuring out that issue. Has Arizona made strides in that department since 2020 and 2022? 

Where has voter fraud been clearly identified? 

Here, in 2020, Joe Biden beat Donald Trump by 150,000 votes even with possible tampering. Questionable actions, identified clearly so far, might total 15,000 to 20,000 votes. That number is very liberal, and those issues raise some very interesting questions--but it's not nearly enough to put in doubt that Joe Biden didn't walk away with the election here in Michigan three years ago.

Arizona, however, is a totally different story. 

Some of the examples of hijinks in Maricopa County lead me to believe that there is enough cause for concern, that is well within the margin of error, of 17,000 votes. This is something that absolutely needs to be drilled into, and Kari Lake and her team shouldn't step foot out of Arizona until they have the answers to why some of the discrepancies happened in her election.

If you are 100 percent serious about combating voter fraud, then you'd better clean up the system and spend every waking hour you have to do that before the next election. In my opinion, that also means you don't take on the responsibility of running for another election before you have as much fraud as possible cleaned up from an election less than 24 months before. 

That isn't what Lake is doing, however. She is raising money across the country and was laying the groundwork for her Senate run as early as 2022's CPAC (early in the year).

How does she or any Republican candidate expect to win in Arizona, if election fraud is so rampant and no concrete steps have been taken to combat it and change the process?

These are serious questions that people, who want to be taken seriously, should have already answered. 

I know this hurts people's feelings but I don't give a damn about your feelings. I give a damn about doing the right thing, and the Republicans across the board nationally--and on the state level--seem to not be interested in actually doing the hard work to win.

 They want to do the easy work, then whine about losses, for whatever reason.

Instead of flying around the country and raising money, every Republican who believes there is fraud in Arizona should be raising money online, and hiring the best and brightest individuals from anywhere in the country to dig into what happened in 2022. 

I the courts aren't giving you a fair shake, then produce a bunch of YouTube videos cutting them up into small pieces, so that the viewers will be able to understand exactly the fraud perpetrated during the last election cycle.

Personally, I'm sick of the long-winded speeches and the empty-handed promises of “we will get them next time”--which is just malarky if you don't actually win. Winning in a primary is meaningless, if your ultimate goal is not winning in the general.

If voter fraud is as rampant as Kari Lake and others across the country have stated, then it's time to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt--and put a fix in place so that the fix with the votes doesn't happen.

Otherwise, everybody's time is just being wasted, and this country is circling the drain of irrelevancy.
