There's a lot of chatter on social media about recalling Katie Hobbs from the Arizona Governor's Office since many believe she won due to election fraud.
One of the recall efforts is located on the website ArrestHobbs.
The recount cannot begin until June 23, and will require collecting close to 800,000 signatures within four hot months mostly over the summer in order to succeed.
Regardless of whether a recall effort uses paid or volunteer circulators, Wright said to gather 800,000 signatures in 120 days, more than 6,600 signatures must be gathered per day.
Assuming Hobbs does not resign, Arizona law gives the counties 60 days to verify signatures and certify the number of valid signatures obtained.
Although Arizona law provides that Hobbs will automatically be placed on the ballot for the recall special election, Wright said anyone who wants to run to replace Hobbs must file nomination petitions equal to 2 percent of the votes cast for governor at the last election.
Based on the legal requirements, Wright said recalls are "Exceedingly difficult and costly." Even if 100 percent successful, she said "There's no guarantee Lake would win a three-way race against Hobbs and a likely spoiler candidate."
