Kari Lake likely is going to blow the Senate race in Arizona for the GOP, and she is already making excuses for it.

On Sunday, Lake laid out her theory that Arizona Democrats were trying to register people to vote when they sign up for Medicare and Medicaid so that they had names on the voter rolls for illegal immigrants to use to illegally cast votes. Lake also said she “wouldn’t be all that confident” that the elections in November would be fair, at least “if it were today.” You have to give yourself enough wiggle room to claim victory if you actually win, after all.
