On Thursday, the Arizona Supreme Court ordered court proceedings to take place "forthwith" regarding Kari Lake's election challenge on Maricopa County's alleged violations of its signature verification practices in last year's general election, while granting one sanction but denying attorneys' fees requested by the defendants.
Lake, the Arizona GOP gubernatorial nominee, fell about 17,000 votes short in the 2022 election against then-Secretary of State Katie Hobbs. She is suing Hobbs, who is the current Democratic governor, in addition to current Secretary of State Adrian Fontes and Maricopa County election officials, and is requesting that the election results be invalidated or that she be declared the winner.
Lake's case was reviewed by the Arizona Supreme Court in March, which remanded one of her seven counts to trial court and allowed sanctions against her to be considered. The remanded count was Lake's claim that Maricopa County violated its signature verification policies in the 2022 election.

I haven’t followed all of the court proceedings, extremely closely, however, this particular case shows numerous instances of them excepting signatures that obviously are not even close.
This is taking way to long

i think it’s “accepting signatures” not “excepting signatures.”
(whenever confused, one can always look at the original latin from which these words are derived. “ex-” means “out” in latin.)

It’s a long way between the brain and the fingers. I often make similar mistakes and although I catch most of them on proof-reading, many slip through because my brain reads what I thought I typed rather than what is actually on the screen. Therefore, I usually ignore the same mistakes when made by others. Misusing, “Except” and “Accept”, along with “their” and “there” are two common errors made by a lot of people.
It’s taking too long because they want to make it seem moot.
They want people to believe it’s too late to invalidate the election just because the wrong winner was declared.
it is taking too long - that is the method of the opposition.
“i think it’s “accepting signatures” not “excepting signatures.””
it can go either way, accepting the signatures as legit, or excepting signatures as fraudulent...
frame of reference perhaps. but lake won two decisions, the remanding of looking at the signatures and then not having to pay hobbs’ legal fees... but it is taking way too long.
“This is taking way to long”
They seem to be running out the clock. IIRC, there’s a certain date when Kari could replace Hobbs, and that’s happened before in AZ.
It's actually moving very fast for any legal proceedings and amazingly fast for any appellate court, much less the Arizona Supreme Court.
In a certain fashion, the pace is actually working in Kari Lake's favor.
It takes time for the media's manufactured narrative to be destroyed and the truth to come out. It's like electronic warfare and Kari's team is burning through all the media's lies and misinformation chaff.
And Katie Hobbs is on track to becoming the biggest disaster in Arizona political history.
She has even defied the Az Supreme Court and given them the middle finger on a number of issues, which is kind of extraordinarily bad decision making under the circumstances.
The longer this goes on, the weaker Hobbs becomes and the stronger Kari gets. Significantly, the most recent favorable ruling on the vote signatures is the result of a Motion to Reconsider filed by Lake to have the court reconsider a ruling that it had originally denied.
This is significant because the mail in ballot signature issue is a clear cut violation of Az election laws and there is legal precedent in Az that improper signature approval is grounds to remove a sitting Az office holder and award the victory to the opponent.
This could be the event that overturns the election.
The following questions must be answered:
1) Who will control the signature verification process?
2) How transparent will it be?
3) Will Kari Lake’s team be permitted to have anyone witness the proceedings?
If the same gang of corrupt stooges that produced the original result are allowed to perform the signature verification, in the dark, without oversight, there will be a few weeks of radio silence. Then, they will just announce that they completed the signature verification and Kari Lake still lost.
So the AZ Supreme Court could just overturn the results or would there have to be another election ? Even if there is a recall now it seems that Lake is more interested in running for a Senate seat.
Why not post the whole thing right here?????
(So the AZ Supreme Court could just overturn the results or would there have to be another election ?)
I didn’t know. That’s the $64k question.
“So the AZ Supreme Court could just overturn the results or would there have to be another election ?”
Once before in AZ there was a situation like this. The thief in office was ousted immediately, and the legit winner was installed immediately. No new election. But I think there might be a time period involved which, to me, seems to be why they’re running out the clock.
Hobbs is in cahoots with the drug cartels..open borders....flood of illegals and narcotics.
“Why not post the whole thing right here?????”
Because I usually post excerpts to articles. If Freepers are interested enough in the subject matter, they can go to the site to read the entire thing. If not, they can skip it in favor of something else. “Just the News” goes to the trouble to include links to the actual court filings, unlike many other sites. The site also posts articles on subjects that the corporate media ignores. They deserve the clicks for taking the time and effort to do that.
Well...damnit...
Your well thought out reply just took the wind right out of my sails....
Well said...
Actually, the first reasonable reply I have gotten.
Those of us that don’t know Latin refer to intent
