Judge dismisses Kari Lake’s final claim in election loss for Arizona governor
APNews ^ | 05/23/2023

Posted on 05/23/2023 5:23:26 AM PDT by devane617

A judge on Monday dismissed the only remaining legal claim in Republican Kari Lake’s challenge of her loss in last year’s race for Arizona governor, affirming the election of Democrat Katie Hobbs.

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter A. Thompson said Lake failed to prove her claim that Maricopa County did not verify signatures on mail ballots as required by law.

Lake was among the most vocal of last year’s Republican candidates promoting former President Donald Trump’s election lies, which she made the centerpiece of her campaign. She has built a loyal following among Trump supporters and is openly considering a run for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Kyrsten Sinema, an independent and former Democrat. Lake is also often mentioned as a potential vice presidential pick for Trump.

While most other election deniers around the country conceded after losing their races in November, Lake did not. She has touted her legal battle in fundraising appeals and speeches around the country.

Oh yes, the Lamestream media is there for the verdict by a Democrat hack judge, but they refused to cover the trial, which showed footage of an election worker who 'verified' over 70,000 signatures by simply clicking NEXT on the computer without scrolling down to compare the signature on file.

And for everyone who is saying that Kari needs to give up because she keeps losing in court -- these are the biased lower courts.

Remember the baker who refused to bake a cake for a gay wedding? He lost too in every court until it got to SCOTUS.

Kari is a fighter and has promised to take it all the way to SCOTUS.

If it weren't for Kari, we would have never known how the printers were sabotaged on Election Day with the 'shrink to fit' command. Kari has pulled back the curtain on how 'signature verification' is done on the cheat-by-mail-ins. And if it is happening in AZ, you can bet it is happening in other states, and will happen in 2024. Kari is the only one trying to stop it via the courts.

We all saw the video of the guy just clicking through the verification process. The judicial system is as rotten as the rest of the government.

Exactly.

There is only one way. The path, IMHO, for the pawns, you and I, is to prepare. Note yesterday we were told to anticipate a “disruptive event” by the Senate Sargent of Arms.

Prepare - have food and water for 2-4 weeks, cash, and be aware at all times of your surroundings.

Kari Lake has demonstrated that there are clear and undeniable problems with the mail in voting system. This has been a repeated demonstration across the United States. In Wisconsin, some 95% of in-patient elderly care patients voted in the 2020 election. In Arizona, there is no signature verification to speak of, and certainly no verification of the signature verification process. In California, video cameras captured people harvesting ballots from mailboxes in apartment buildings for the recall election against Newsome. Many states had ‘voter turnout’ in 2020 that just isn’t simply rationally possible.

I have stated that “Having a vote that matters” is really the Civil Rights issue of our time. States have a right to run elections, but do they have a right to set up a process or allow a process that denies voters a voice? If they can stuff the ballot box, isn’t that taxation without representation?

I am not sure how this should be approached, but somehow it has to reach the SCOTUS.

My observations:

The Leftist takeover of Maricopa County was strategicly planned and executed. One key was to get rid of Sheriff Joe Arpaio. The left has seen they need to control law enforcement as a prelude to controlling the vote.

Sheriff Joe was very popular, but like all of us he got older. He just wasn't able to campaign like he used to, and as I recall, a good dose of Soros money was used to elect his opponent.

Once a far left sheriff was in place, everything else clicked. Import tens of thousands of illegals. Operate a vote harvesting system using non-profits. Collude with the McCain machine, who were willing to do anything to keep some power and get rid of President Trump.

Perhaps I should mention the obvious: put lots of money into electing a radical secretary of state who will make election theft by Democrats easy and difficult to prosecute.

Phoenix itself has been Democratic party based for some time.

Of course, the media in most of Arizona is Progressive and anti-President Trump.

Maybe our candidates shouldn’t tell a huge swath of Republican voters that their votes aren’t needed.

“Maybe our candidates shouldn’t tell a huge swath of Republican voters that their votes aren’t needed.”

These are just stupid responses to cheating. She won, they cheated and voter fraud is built-in feature of election day. You actually have no idea what the true vote totals are and just speculating.

We’re still too comfortable. We have houses, jobs, and food. Hopefully we don’t lose our weapons before our comfort.

That’s what the left tells me happened.

And you. You tell me that too. Curious.
