Arizona: Man Hired by Donald Trump and Kari Lake To Find Voter Fraud Admits He Found Nothing
A man hired by Donald Trump and Kari Lake to find alleged voter fraud in Arizona is speaking out and debunking their claims by telling the public about what he actually found during his investigation.
Ken Block admitted in an op-ed in Arizona Central that Donald Trump and Kari Lake hired him to investigate reports of election fraud in Arizona. However, in his scathing opinion piece, he stated, "The baseless cries of voter fraud by failed gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake weren't just a redundant mimicry of former President Donald Trump's claims that voter fraud cost him the 2020 election in Arizona."
He stated "There is no evidence that Arizona election officials certified the wrong winner in 2020 or 2022, even with the races being as close as they were. Trump lost by less than 11,000 votes," emphasizing that several recounts and audits were made and they could not prove that there was massive voter fraud in Arizona.
Block noted that he was "asked to look for dead and duplicate voters for every mail ballot cast in each of the swing states in 2020: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin" on the day after the election. He admitted that he only found a handful of fraudulent votes and that was not enough to overturn the results.
"I found fewer than 200 duplicate mail-in ballot votes fraudulently cast from all of the swing states combined." he wrote, adding that "The Trump campaign chose not to do anything with these fraudulent votes to avoid calling attention to the small amount of provable fraud my team and I had uncovered, including about a dozen so votes in Arizona."
He concluded that Trump simply lost, and that was it. No massive amounts of voter fraud were found as Trump and Lake had claimed, saying that the former president had just underperformed in the state, including the usually red counties he tends to dominate, with the exceptions of a few.
Kari Lake Continues to Struggle in Arizona Senate Race to Democrat
Meanwhile, Kari Lake is proving that she is not as popular in Arizona as she had hoped, struggling against Latino Democrat Ruben Gallego for the senate seat of incumbent Independent Senator Kyrsten Sinema, who is currently in last place.

According to an Emerson College/ The Hill poll, Gallego, a current US Democratic Rep for Arizona, is leading with 36% of the votes, while Kari Lake only has 30%. Sinema continues to be in last place at 21%. However, even if Sinema were out of the equation, Gallego's lead would expand to seven points, getting 46% of the vote to Lake's 39%.
Meghan McCain Endorses Independent Candidate Over Kari Lake for Arizona Senator
The feud between Lake and her MAGA wing of the Arizona Republican Party, and the McCain wing of the Arizona Republican Party continues, as Meghan McCain has now endorsed former Democrat and now-Independent Kyrsten Sinema, instead of a fellow Republican.
Lake infamously disparaged the late Senator John McCain and his family, as well as their allies whom they called the "McCain Republicans." Meghan McCain, the late senator and war hero's daughter, is not letting it slide and called the senatorial candidate an "absolute joke sham of a candidate."
"Don't ask people to get over people hurting their family and their dead parents," the former "The View" host said in an interview. "What I would say to her is, I would say, 'Sinema 2024."
Sinema has yet to throw her hat into the race after leaving the Democratic Party, according to NBC News.
