Arizona Republican gubernatorial contender Kari Lake this week announced the start of the nation’s largest ever “ballot chasing operation” to beat election-rigging Democrats at their own game.
“We have been working non-stop to put together a team. And we are officially launching the largest, most extensive ballot chasing operation in our state’s history and frankly, possibly, in American history,” Lake said on Monday as supporters gathered behind her.
In her announcement, Lake slammed the Arizona court system rejecting her repeated legal challenges against the results of the controversial and “corrupt” 2022 gubernatorial election. The conservative firebrand added that the unfavorable rulings set a precedent that would allow for elections to be ran “lawlessly” throughout Arizona.

In pointing out her frustration with the courts, the Republican candidate revealed a new battle plan: Republican ballot “chasing.”
“The courts have ruled that anything goes. Well, we can play by those same rules, okay? If anything goes, then anything goes. And we are going to start chasing ballots like you’ve never seen,” Lake said.
“If it’s just a ballot that matters, then we can chase ballots too. And we’re going to do that. We’ve got to work in this rigged and corrupt system, and we can do it. We will not allow them to steal another election from We The People. We want our government back,” she added.
“Do you have a fair question Howie?”

Mocking Democrat ballot harvesting tactics, Lake said: “We’re going to get out there and register voters. We’re going to register every man, woman, child, saguaro, gila monster — Hey. If the left plays that way, maybe we should start playing that way.”
“There are no rules when the left comes in. There’s no rules at all. We are going to push the envelope,” Lake stressed. “We’re going to make sure we push the legal envelope as far as we can push it.”
Lake’s proposal echoes a similar position taken by the 2024 presidential re-election campaign for President Donald Trump, which announced that they would embrace “ballot harvesting” in light of the Democratic Party’s unobstructed efforts at doing the same.

“The radical Democrats have used ballot harvesting to cancel out YOUR vote and walk away with elections that they NEVER should have won. But I’m doing something HUGE to fight back,” Trump announced in February.
“Our path forward is to MASTER the Democrats’ own game of harvesting ballots in every state we can. But that also means we need to start laying the foundation for victory RIGHT NOW.”
