Arizona Election Update:  Ding Dong the Witch is Dead

Ding dong, the witch is dead

Which old witch?

The Arizona witch

Ding dong, the ‘zona witch is dead

Kari Lake was Donald’s last chance

For a big Trump splash in the election dance

To keep the shrinking faithful in a MAGA trance

But sorry Don, she’s a loser

Arizona’s new governor is Katie Hobbs

Not a slick talker, just sticks to the job

Despite the many lies Kari Lake lobs

Katie won the vote

But election denying is Kari Lake’s thing

Went to Mar a Lago to kiss the fat man’s ring

On the rally stage, said Trump should still be king

What will Kari do now?

Concede graciously, that would be some class

But not Cari’s style, since she’s a total ass

She’d rather throw red meat onto the MAGA mass

Then simply tell the truth

But the good people of Arizona state

Must have gotten tired of bozos at the gate

Talking God-fearin’, but only spewing hate

The voters kicked them to the curb

People seem to be a little bit tired

Of bogus claims by election deniers

And a Republican party full of big fat liars

Whining “whoa is me”

QAnon crowd needs to crunch some new numbers

Once again their theories seem to be encumbered

By real truth waking them from their twisted slumbers

Darn those stubborn facts

This is great news for democracy

Election deniers losing sea to sea

Restores my faith in this great country

And so we soldier on

Lake has said she wouldn’t have certified the 2020 vote for Biden, saying that it was “corrupt, rotten.” She even filed a lawsuit, which has since been dismissed by a federal judge, that made false claims about issues with vote-counting machines and sought to require Arizona officials to tabulate 2022 ballots by hand.

Unlike Lake, most Arizonans are confident in the state’s elections: A Center for the Future of Arizona/HighGround Public Affairs poll released in October found that 70 percent of likely voters in Arizona believed the state’s elections were secure and 77 percent believed the 2022 results would be accurate.
