Kari Lake, a Republican running for governor of Arizona, said Monday that Democrat gubernatorial candidate and Arizona’s Secretary of State Katie Hobbs should recuse herself from overseeing the 2022 election while she’s on the ballot.
Lake’s campaign said in a July 19 statement that Hobbs, who the campaign called “the most partisan Secretary of State in the history of Arizona,” should step down from her duties in administering the 2022 election, citing “Hobbs’ history of irrational bias and disdain toward Republicans” and reports of election investigators reporting “serious issues affecting tens-of-thousands of ballots and voters” in the 2020 election that the Secretary of State oversaw.
