Blake Masters Is Already Claiming His Election Will Be Stolen

Blake Masters isn’t shy about claiming the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump. Now he’s claiming Arizona’s Senate seat will be stolen from him—before a vote is cast.

In his campaign to unseat Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Republican Blake Masters has consistently amplified skepticism and conspiracy theories surrounding the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. But during the final stretch of his own 2022 race, Masters is starting to cast doubt on the outcome of this election—before the votes are even counted.

At a campaign stop on Tuesday in a small town north of Phoenix, Masters was confronted with one voter’s concern that he could win by a “landslide” but that voting machines would “flip the vote” in Kelly’s favor, according to audio of the event obtained by The Daily Beast.

“Unfortunately, we still have the machines in this election,” Masters replied. The “machines” refer to Dominion Voting Systems’ machines, which were used in Arizona and have been the subject of countless unfounded conspiracies. Maricopa County, home to Phoenix, used paper ballots in the 2020 election; audits found no evidence of fraud.

Masters expanded on the voter’s concern by recounting a conversation he had with his father before launching his campaign. In Masters’ telling, his father said he didn’t want him to run because he couldn’t beat Kelly, because of voter fraud. “But say you beat Mark Kelly by 30,000 votes,” Masters said. To which his father responded: “I’m worried they’ll just find 40,000 for Mark Kelly.”

He must be way behind. Blake seems a bit goofy to me. Entitled? Weird? Woman will defeat him.

They went back and got his severed penis from a lawn. Aren't there dogs in that neighborhood? They would snap that up and run off with it!

When several republicans are on the same ballot for different offices, the ones that win are an honest election.

The ones that lose are because of voter fraud.

Same voter(s).
