Attorney General: 49.5% for Republican candidate
It is interesting that that there's probably 100K people who voted for a crazy election denier for Governor, but then voted Democrat for the other offices.

You have to compare to the last governor election cycle as well. Ducey won the state by 14 points. Brnovich won AG by 3.4 point. Hobbs won SoS by eight tenths of a point. Yee won Treasurer by 18 points. Republicans have underperformed across the state, even in the most Republican of districts. Lake is a popular media personality following in the steps of a popular Republican governor and running against someone who barely campaigned and refused to debate. This should have been a blow out for Lake.
