“We switched from a Republican space to vote, we got here proper down into the center of liberal Phoenix to vote as a result of we needed to make certain that we had excellent machines,” Lake stated on Election Day.
“And bet what? They’ve had 0 issues of their machines lately. Now not one device spit out a poll right here lately, no longer one in an excessively liberal space.”
