“Arizona even said ‘by the end of the week!’ — They want more time to cheat! Kari Lake MUST win!” — Donald Trump The former president has claimed there’s fraud going on in Nevada and Arizona because
election officials were still counting ballots three days after Election Day. Lake is the Republican candidate for governor in Arizona. At the time of Trump’s post, Laxalt was ahead of Democratic incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, and Lake was trailing Democratic candidate Katie Hobbs. Trump endorsed both Lake and Laxalt.That vote counting might take longer is not proof of fraud or cheating.
The tweet said that under Nevada law, all mail-in ballots postmarked on or before Election Day and received before 5 p.m. Nov. 12 can be accepted and processed. Election officials must check every signature on mail ballots to ensure they match records. If they don't, voters have until 5 p.m. on Nov. 14 to correct these ballots.
Comments like Trump’s get “certain people very fired up and they're convinced that we are doing things that are inappropriate or against the law. And that's just not the case,” Joe Gloria, Clark County’s registrar of voters said at a midday press conference Nov. 10. Maricopa County had a record 290,000 early ballots dropped off on Election Day. Like other mail ballots, these ballots also must be processed, and signatures must be checked. Reviewing large volumes of ballots requires time.
