Showdown in Arizona: Will Kari Lake Prevail in Her Election Lawsuit?
American Thinker ^ | 12 Dec, 2022 | Daniel R. Street

Posted on 12/12/2022 4:58:24 AM PST by MtnClimber

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.

Unfortunately no. There is a high bar of proof that I am not sure Lake has. Even if proven, there is no remedy.

Kari Lake has an exactly 0% chance of getting the “result” overturned.
@@@@@@

What’s the over/under that the judge finds Kari Lake has standing to bring the case?..........

How can she? She is a Republican after all. Now if she was a Trump hating RINO, maybe, but she isn’t—she is a MAGA Republican and that is a crime in the New America. Best deal for her—a show on Fox News, late Night.

Bet dollars to doughnuts that the data changed or was manipulated before its continuing transmission to the tabulators.

The data went to the tabulators on paper.

These people don’t care about our country, our sacred right to vote or protest our gov with grievances. All they care about is finding reasons to hate president trump. Sad. Seriously, stupidly, sad.

Isn't that what every democrat says?

We should not dwell on the stolen elections. We should let the Left rig elections with impunity and not expose them. /s

Seriously, if we do not challenge election fraud, then we have accepted fake elections as normal, and Government by Consent longer exists.

We all know that if Republicans rigged an election, Democrats would have a remedy, and plenty of Republicans would go to the gulags.

and since all ballots have been commingled, there is no way to remove the fraudulent and illegal votes from the vote totals

Are you calling Katie Hobbs a liar? She claims that ballots can be identified by BATCH NUMBER, which they claimed they used to separate the infamous 'black bag' co-mingling of ballots that were tabulated and rejected ballots for further processing. Do these batch numbers come from Runbeck, or from poll workers?

AFTER coming off the printer from the image made from Runbeck. The programmable printer.

Right. So how did the circling plane intercept this?

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

“I hope she doesn’t dwell on election outcomes like a certain presidential candidate.”

A stolen presidential election isn’t exactly a minor historical irrelevancy.
