  • I've read your work. That, is judgment, not journalism.
    • Brief interview with Elaine Godfrey in The Atlantic (October 9, 2022), responding to Godfrey's past articles describing Lake as an "election denier" and "conspiracy theorist".
  • Our voters were showing up on election day. That was no secret and the minute the polls opened the wheels fell off. The ballot printers weren't working, there was not enough toner in the printers, the tabulators weren’t working. It became a debacle. And the lines started forming right away, some of the lines three hours, four hours, five hours. And the video of people walking out of line. People told us, and this is in our lawsuit, that they showed up and couldn’t find parking because the parking lots were full and the lines were long. And many people didn't even get to vote. And those who did vote when they went up to get the printer out, the printer didn't have toner in it, so the ballots weren't dark enough. And our voters were showing up and voting 3 to 1 for me on election day.
  • We vote for a full month in Arizona with early ballots. And on election day when the Republicans showed up the election day voting was sabotaged. It is shocking what they did. The man who runs Maricopa County elections ran a PAC, he actually started a PAC, raising thousands of dollars to defeat me. And he is running our elections. And then my opponent [Katie Hobbs] oversees all the elections in Arizona. It was a conflict of interests. And not only was Katie Hobbes working with big tech to censor people, the man who runs Maricopa County elections, they were also censoring people as well online.
  • We will be presenting a lot of evidence. We have four whistleblowers. One that works for a company called Runback who said there were 300,000 ballots inserted into the system that had no chain of custody. Others who were in the voter signature verification department said tens of thousands of ballots were rejected because there were no signatures or scribbles and they somehow got thrown in and counted anyway.
  • There are a plethora of problems that went down in Maricopa County and if somebody doesn’t stand up and say we cannot have our elections being run this way, then we will never have another fair election. I mean, sixty percent of the polling places on Election Day were inoperational and not functioning. When do we stop and say enough is enough? Do we have to get to 80 percent, 90 percent, 100 percent? When do we say we need to have our elections run fair?
