Yes -- sounds like we're on the same page! Although I may spoil it with what I'm about to say...
Dems are masters at fear mongering, but Pubs did little to nothing to reassure or assuage fears. They often made it worse.
With the exception of the election integrity candidates, Pubs offered nothing to vote for. Unfortunately, the election integrity candidates were successfully painted as MAGA candidates, and it became all about Trump and not election integrity.

Much of Masters exposure was thru Kari-- attending events with her, and rallies, and press conferences. Kari gave him a lot of exposure, and really pushed the entire down ticket.
ETA forclarity: With so much of his exposure thru Kari, we can be pretty sure they voted for Kari!
We're told it's not uncommon to only vote the top of the ticket, but I've never heard of voting for US senator but not governor.
Ok, this was confusing me...
First, just to clarify, Masters got about 70K less votes than Lake, not 30k more, the 30K diff was between Hobbs and Blake. That said, I've never understood why or how someone who goes to the trouble of voting would vote only for Governor and not vote for at least the major ones next down ballot - especially someone who is voting for an election denier like Lake, and the Senator on the ballot is also an election denier and was campaigning closely with her.
As far as I'm concerned, this election will result in one of two things: the death of America (I'm sorry to say this is the most likely all things considered, especially if the Ds are able to enact federal voting mandates outlawing mandatory Voter IDs, ballot harvesting, random ballot drop boxes and mass mail-in voting), or the truth finally coming out in the form of real, certifiable, undeniable and legally valid evidence - through Kari's (or someone's) lawsuit in front of an honest (probably recent Trump appointed) judge.
I'll believe the latter when I see it, but it actually has a better chance than I'd have thought before reading the recent revelations (and thanks for that!) regarding Runbeck's inexcusable involvement in ballot handling, especially considering they handle ballots for a large percentage of the nation - like, why on earth do ballots need to go to a private printing company for sorting? SORTING??? Well...
It would - or should - only take one really good case, proving real, actual results changing (manipulating) fraud, even if it's in only one large county like Maricopa, to pave the way for lawsuits everywhere most of which won't get tossed without at least real evidentiary hearings (or massive protests), and any ridiculous NDAs between Runbeck and any Elections Supervisors would/should immediately be invalidated by said courts.
Issue: Whether a state’s judicial branch may nullify the regulations governing the “Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives ... prescribed ... by the Legislature thereof,” and replace them with regulations of the state courts’ own devising, based on vague state constitutional provisions purportedly vesting the state judiciary with power to prescribe whatever rules it deems appropriate to ensure a “fair” or “free” election.

You know what's interesting about this is that the Dem election officials know the Repubs, particularly the elderly, prefer to vote on election day. Makes it quite easy to pick off their votes.
Ever thus. Nothing chanes.

Kirk and the boys certainly have been wrong, repeatedly now.
However, they are claiming that some "unrecorded new votes" were entered from districts that they previously claimed didn't exist.
The new congressional district boundaries create three seats that lean Democratic, four seats that lean Republican and two that are more narrowly divided between the parties.
Would still like to know how and why a 3rd party, biased company, can be part of the chain of custody but have no eyes on their processes or actions.

Personally I don't think the loan payoff deal affected many votes at all.
Because it was well known long before elections started that the programs were halted.
The website said so, and you couldn't file an application and applicants saw the reasons -- court order halt.
😎
The plan, as I understand it now, is that since the Maricopa attorney admitted there was the potential for voter fraud with the broken machines and since voter sentiment is leaning toward lacking trust in the results, Arizona has a method through which a single voter (though preferably more) can challenge the results and get the election annulled. It does not require proving voter fraud nor does it require proving intent. The circumstances need to be demonstrated that enough voters do not trust the results for good reasons, and considering the election day debacle in Maricopa County, they should have ample reasons to be disenfranchised.

Interesting, but I have to ask...
Why didn't anyone try that in 2021 if it's so easy?
