<p>Republican Arizona gubernatorial candidate&nbsp;<a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/298883" _mce_href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/298883" target="_blank">Kari Lake</a>&nbsp;on Thursday declined to concede the governor race to Democrat Katie Hobbs Thursday, raising concerns about the election process,&nbsp;<em>The Hill</em>&nbsp;reported.</p> <p><em>The Associated Press</em>&nbsp;and other outlets&nbsp;<a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/362805" _mce_href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/362805" target="_blank">projected that Hobbs</a>&nbsp;won the race on Monday. But Lake, a former television news anchor, indicated she is assembling a legal team that is “collecting evidence and data” pertaining to the electoral process.</p> <p>“Rest assured, I have assembled the best and brightest legal team and we are exploring every avenue to correct the many wrongs that have been done this past week,” Lake said in a video address posted Thursday morning. “I’m doing everything in my power to right these wrongs.”</p> <p>Lake, a Trump-backed candidate, sidestepped questions about whether she would accept the results of her election on multiple occasions during the campaign.</p> <p>In her statement on Thursday, Lake pointed to printing malfunctions in Maricopa County, the state’s most populous county that includes Phoenix, calling it “unforgivable” and claiming voters were disenfranchised.</p> <p>70 of the county’s 223 voting centers early on Election Day used printers that churned out ballots with ink that was too light for tabulation machines to read, election officials said.</p> <p>Voters could wait in line until the issue was fixed, cast a ballot at another vote center or deposit their original ballot in a separate, secure box that was sent to the county’s central facility for tabulation.</p> <p>County election officials have repeatedly pushed back on Lake’s allegations, saying no one was denied</p>
