Kari Lake and her attorneys appeared in court on Monday morning for the historic election contest trial presided by Judge Peter Thompson.

Tomorrow’s trial has been set for 8:30 MST to 4:30 MST.

The Gateway Pundit reported on the entire trial live from Mesa, Arizona. Watch a replay of the trial here.

In the trial, we witnessed bombshell testimony from cybersecurity expert Clay Parikh, election investigator Heather Honey, a Maricopa County whistleblower, and RNC roving attorney Mark Sonnenklar.

Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer and Election Director Scott Jarrett were also called to the stand to be examined and cross-examined by attorneys for Kari Lake and Maricopa County.

Roving Attorney Mark Sonnenklar stated, “It was really pandemonium out there everywhere” due to the failures of tabulation machines and ballot-on-demand printers.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Parikh testified under oath that he inspected a sample of ballots yesterday, and it was “easily identifiable” that nearly half of them were printed with a 19-inch ballot image on 20-inch paper. He also stated that this could not have happened accidentally or by coincidence, and this caused Election Day tabulators across Maricopa County to not read ballots, creating extremely long wait times for Election Day voters.

Scott Jarrett claimed that these voting machine failures and over 2-hour waits on Election Day did not cause a disruption on Election Day in Maricopa County. Such BS!

Heather Honey gave an incredible testimony on the chain of custody failures that rendered OVER 300,000 ballots invalid.

Stephen Richer confirmed that the ballot chain of custody was broken from the very beginning because they did not count the ballots at vote centers before transporting them to the Election Center. This leaves massive vulnerabilities for cheating!

Here are a few more notes from today’s hearing in Maricopa County.

Better is the chain of custody question.

Absolutely!

Watched the video showing "Expert Heather Honey, Investigator and Supply Chain Expert with 30+ years experience sends hack defense lawyer packing . . . ."

The way the defense lawyer folded up and bailed out after Honey's response, looks like the defense is in deep trouble.

What’s fascinating is that this is the first time the little detour through the Runbeck facility has ever come up.

Never heard of that in the 2020 election. All the years I voted in Arizona, never conceived of such a thing.

It shows the R’s are like babes in the woods. They just don’t know how the system works. Meanwhile, Rat apparatchiks are gleefully pulling every stunt they can think of while the R’s are busy running after some ghost theory. The crimes have been happening right under their noses.

I have a question.
Did RNC roving attorney Mark Sonnenklar testify for the plaintiff (Lake) or the defense (Hobbs)?

As explained during today’s portion of the trial, the issues were:

1. Ballots for the general Nov 2022 election were all set at 20” paper size.

2. The “on demand ballot printers” were pre-programmed by the county and admin password required to change the image parameters.

3. The printer printed out a 19” ballot on the 20” paper.

4. The tabulator/s were unable to read the ballots because the 19” image was not recognized by the tabulator.

5. The “unread” ballots were placed in drawer 3 to be transported later to the county central county center where they were then run through the county tabulator, (different machine, more sensitive), and when it still would not read the ballot the ballot was “duplicated”.

6. Duplication involved printing a new, 20”, blank ballot and copying, (supposedly), accurately the rejected ballot onto the new 20” ballot and then run through the tabulator and counted.

7. One problem identified during the court ordered exam of the ballots was that the original ballot, (19” ballot printed on 20” paper), that the expert examined were not accompanied with the “duplicate ballot” that are required to be kept with the original ballot and he was told that it would take 6 hours to track down the “duplicate ballot” for the expert to view.

8. The state tried to explain the 19-20” issue away by suggesting that someone might have pushed a print to size button, however, since the county recorder testified that only 20” images were on the computer/printer, thus making pushing a print to size button would not result in the printer printing a 19” image/ballot on a 20” paper because shrinking to fit the paper would only result in printing a 20” ballot image.

Let’s put it this way if this was Stacy Abrams and this was Georgia in 2018 this amount of evidence presented MSNBC would be holding a 24 hour vigil outside the governors mansion waiting for Kemp to step down.

Absolutely true.

And when there is overwhelming evidence of fraud when a Republican loses, there is total silence.

A printer will have precise instructions on how the ballot is printed. He will print a few. He will then compare what he printed too the original instructions. If the same he will then print 100 of thousands. This stinks.

The tabulator looks for the witness marks that should be near the edge of the paper, when it sees more paper at the top/bottom then it assumes it's another ballot jammed in the machine and throws an error.

it's not the length of the paper, it's how long the tabulator THINKS it is.
