Joe Rogan Irresponsibly Suggests Kari Lake Has a Point About Election Fraud

Joe Rogan on Thursday let loose another doozy of a false claim, suggesting that despite a number of failed lawsuits and months of fruitless efforts, Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake may actually be correct about the wide-scale voter fraud she’s so far been unable to prove.

“It looks like there’s real fraud,” Rogan suggested during an episode of his podcast. “At the very least, there were voting machines that weren’t working properly,” Rogan said, at least somewhat correctly, an apparent reference to an incident in which some printers in Maricopa County voting centers didn’t make dark enough marks on ballots—a technical problem that former President Donald Trump also seized on at the time.

From there, Rogan quickly went into full-on conspiracy territory. “It seems very suspicious that a lot of them were in Republican areas,” he said in a video clip from The Joe Rogan Experience that Lake later tweeted out. “There are a lot of shenanigans. And I think there are coordinated efforts to make sure that certain people get elected. I don’t know how far they go, but I know it’s not zero.”
