The claims made here are serious. The evidence already gathered and compiled is substantial.
When the win forecast in pre-election polling for Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake did not materialize on Election Day, the tabulator and printer issues in Maricopa County were widely believed to be the culprit. These widespread issues in Maricopa County were expected to form much of the basis of the Lake campaign's anticipated challenge to the election, though what additional claims form the basis of the suit was anyone's guess. The suspense ended on December 9, 2022, when Lake filed her formal election contest in Maricopa County Superior Court. The issues raised with the 2022 Arizona elections are far more extensive, and troublesome, than the tabulator/printer issues alone.
A basic understanding of the litigation, the claims, and the applicable law will inform readers. Election contests in Arizona are governed by Article 13 of Title 16 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. ARS §16-672 deals specifically with contests of state elections. This statute sets forth multiple grounds for challenges to state elections, including misconduct of election boards or officers involved in the canvass, illegal votes, and erroneous count of votes, among others. The challenge filed by Lake implicates several of these provisions. While the election contest suit itself totals 70 pages, the fundamental claims may be distilled down to a handful of major issues.
Misconduct and Illegal Votes
The election contest alleges that several separate actions or omissions on the part of elections officials constitute "misconduct" within the meaning of the Arizona statute. The suit also alleges that multiple categories of illegal votes were erroneously included in the canvass. Finally, the suit alleges Federal Equal Protection and Due Process violations.

She will get in only after Hobbs is recalled but at least the facts will be on record for another election.
If justice does not prevail we are no longer a nation of laws. The strong will prevail.
Sadly, this is precisely how I see this playing out...this will be “legalized” theft of an election!
Unfortunately, this is not the beginning of the end; this is the end of the end.
Because once people actually realize their votes really do not matter (if they ever have), they will simply roll over and stop voting. They will talk about fighting back, but in actuality, 90% of Americans will simply roll over and take it! And their coup d’état will be complete, but only the slow motion of hell, as we see this play out like this election, after election, after election.
Not true. She has twice that chance (0% x 2).
You can forget about justice prevailing. That ship sailed during the 2020 elections. If not before then. And as far as a Nation of Laws goes, we have not been a Nation of Laws since the Clinton Crime Cartel left the White House.
What is taking so long for child porn to be found on her computer and heroin to be found in her car? The DS is slacking.
I have not seen anyone suggest that in Maricopa County the votes be re-tabulated with properly working machines and determine if the results equal the total number of votes caste. If there were enough (17,000) Ben 3 votes (not counted) that were co-mingled with the tabulated votes (machine counted) these votes should show up in the recount. This could produce enough votes for Lake to win.
No. She is playing against a stacked deck. In a just World, yes. In today’s World, no.
Incontrovertible truth? Yes
Will a judge hear it ? No
Right on.
Sure glad you weren’t around in the mid-1700s.
You may be talking about mail-in or drop box ballots. If so, to the extent the ballots cannot be accurately segregated for registered voter confirmation and recount purposes, the practice ought to be viewed as destroying evidence.
Walmart has more sophisticated self-service checkout security.
“their votes really do not matter”
There’s a book that I believe speaks to this that I need to buy: “The Parallel Election”. Our elections are time-wasting placebos and nothing more.
Why? Just accept the cheating and go away?
If that’s the case, we also need to start stuffing the ballot box. To the cemeteries!
Nope , the election is over and forgotten like usual and will be stolen again next election
One word answer: NO!
Lake is not just taking on the Democrats in this fight. She is also taking on the Republicans. All one has to do is look at the makeup of the Maricopa County Supervisors. Then look at all the non help from the Republicans in her fight.
You cannot beat a stacked system. Both the Democrats & the Republicans have stacked the deck so deep, it is impossible to pull an honest card.
What is missed here is that a majority of the public is corrupted else they wuld take up arms as in the Bolsonaro case and remove the desecrators who are proven to be manipulating the elective process.
And that is not going to happen, now or ever.
God willing.
Courts are cowards. Republicans are cowards.
