Kari Lake said at a rally last night:
“We got to get out and vote tomorrow. How many of you have already voted? I did. I had to; you know what happened? I checked four times. I was not on the early voting list. And guess what showed up in my mailbox? A mail-in ballot.
“Guys, We have to turn our elections around. I don’t want an unfair advantage. I want a level playing field. Who’s for that? You know why? Because we win if there’s a level playing field. The only way they can win is if they load up the voter rolls with dead people, people who’ve moved, and imaginary friends. They don’t win with their ideas.”
