Other than the party label that both candidates ran under, there is practically no difference between Arizona Republican Kari Lake and Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams. Anyone who insists that there is some real difference between the two is a hopeless partisan.

My colleague David Freddoso already ran through several of the similarities between Lake’s response to losing the gubernatorial race in Arizona and Abrams’s handling of her loss in the gubernatorial race in Georgia four years ago. Both Lake and Abrams ran for governor against the incumbent secretary of state (Democrat Katie Hobbs in Arizona and Republican Brian Kemp in Georgia, respectively). Both accused their opponents of rigging the election in their favor, and both insisted afterward that they were the true winners.
