It just keeps happening, doesn’t it?
Numerous ‘irregularities‘ plague our convoluted system of elections—that’s partly why people don’t trust what goes on. Add up all those ‘irregularities’ and a massive problem begins to emerge.
These problems proliferated with the advent of mass mail-in voting—particularly in Arizona, and Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs has stood at the center of many election integrity controversies…
The establishment Democrat has made headlines, once again, through the bungling of mail-in ballots wrongly sent to individuals living in Arizona.
According to reports, some 6,000 ballots were ‘improperly’ sent to voters classified as “federal only”; these voters cannot vote in state elections.
Kari Lake and Arizona Republicans wasted no time in calling her out:
Here we go again, @Katiehobbs.
You need to recuse yourself as Secretary of State.
Delegate your job to someone who actually knows how to do it.

Newsmax explains:
“A person is not required to submit proof of citizenship with the voter registration form,” the official secretary of state website reads, “but failure to do so means the person will only be eligible to vote in federal elections (known as being a ‘federal only’ voter).
A ‘federal only’ voter will become eligible to vote a ‘full ballot’ in all federal, state, county and local elections if he or she later provides valid proof of citizenship to the appropriate County Recorder’s office.”
.@katiehobbs is responsible for administering Arizona elections. She’s failing and should step aside.
6,000 incorrect ballots were mailed out to residents. In the primary election, Pinal County ran out of Republican ballots in some locations.

🚨BREAKING🚨
The reasons why Katie Hobbs is afraid to debate keep piling up.
Thanks to Hobbs' incompetence, 6,000 voters received ballots with only federal races.
She is a failed Secretary of State.

According to Breitbart:
While Hobbs paints herself as a defender of election integrity, she simultaneously refuses to debate Lake.
The Republican nominee, a former Fox 10 Phoenix anchor, blasted Hobbs as a “coward” at a press conference last week for bucking the debate “tradition” that has existed for “two decades” in the Grand Canyon State’s gubernatorial races.
