The Washington Examiner's online opinion editor David Freddoso recently posted an article taking the position that "Republicans" need to reevaluate their support for candidates who refuse to accept the outcome of elections. While in the article he uses Kari Lake as an example it seems obvious that he is metaphorically referring to Donald Trump, who by-the-way accepted the results of the election proven by him not being in the White House one second longer than he needed to be on Inauguration Day.
The Kari Lake example has to be the worst example ever in his attempt to make his point. In the article he wants us to take him seriously when he states; "Now Lake is suing to overcome her 17,000-vote loss and making noises as if the election was rigged. She is only making a fool of herself." Was he sleeping after the 2020 election when Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and yes Arizona released post-election reports that claimed that while there were tens of thousands of erroneous and illegal votes counted that "...it was not enough to change the results of the election...". In these states, hundreds of thousands of votes were admittedly miss counted, twice counted, and there were even over 47,000 votes at one polling location that were lost (due to a voting machine failure) and then "recreated" based on the assumed voting pattern for nearby machines.
To say that 17,000 votes, especially in a state like Arizona that seems to have forgotten how to accurately count votes, is too large a margin to question is either uninformed or willfully dishonest. The reality is, 17,000 votes are well within the realm of unintentional mistakes in Arizona. Mr. Freddoso absolutely has the right to his opinion, indeed that is apparently his job, however, when he chooses to put something like this out there we have an equal right to express our opinion as well.
