 BREAKING - EVIDENCE OF FRAUD OR MISCOUNTING IN KARI LAKE'S SENATE RACE

As many of you know, I monitored and recorded every update from the NYT site last night. The results in the Arizona Senate race clearly show the the reported results are not credible  in any fashion.

At 8:02:50 PM local time, Maricopa County is recorded as having an update as follows:
Gallego: 596,401
Lake: 489,800
Difference: 106,601

In the same update, the following totals are recorded in the Presidential race:
Harris: 564,054
Trump: 539,004
Difference: 24,050

Gallego is reported as receiving over 30,000 votes more than Harris. Conversely, Lake received about 50,000 votes less than President Trump. Given the similarity in the two candidates, this is difficult to believe.

You can forget the rest of the race, this single is what makes up the bulk of the election. 

Why is this important? As of this afternoon, the gap between Gallego and Lake was 60,398 votes. The difference between 24,050 and 106,601 is 82,551.

Even is all 17,000 votes which went to the third party Senate candidate were added in,  it doesn't bridge the gap between 24,050 and 106,601.

Maricopa has some explaining to do.

I will be happy to send anyone the raw Json files downloaded from the NYT to anyone wishing to validate these numbers. @karilake @gailgolec @stephen_richer @MaricopaVote
