Arizona Republican gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake sparred with CNN’s Dana Bash over unfounded claims of mass election fraud in 2020 during an interview on Sunday.
“You called the 2020 election corrupt, stolen, rotten and rigged, and there was no evidence of any of that presented in a court of law or anywhere else that any of those things are true. So why do you keep saying that?” Bash asked Lake on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“Well, there’s plenty of evidence,” Lake responded. “We had 740,000 ballots with no chain of custody, those ballots shouldn’t have been counted.”
A series of investigations into Arizona’s 2020 elections failed to find evidence of substantial fraud that would have overturned Joe Biden’s victory in the state.
The state attorney general’s interim report suggested it was possible that between 100,000 and 200,000 ballots were transported without a proper chain of custody, but the report did not allege mass fraud occurred.
