Apparently, No Lawyer Wants to Defend Cochise County’s Refusal to Certify Election Results

It would be non futile if the improprieties, crimes and falsifications had happened in their county and they were refusing to certify their county’s results even if the Recorder had claimed they were tabulated correctly.

This is almost equivalent to failing to turn in the votes for their county because cheating was done in Pennsylvania.

We were to push during the legislative work at reform — we didn’t do it.

We were to push during the audit in Maricopa, we did push then and gestures and road blocks then were useful and appropriate.

In the non certification goes forward here it has NO impact on the Arizona state wide election of Hobbs. It has NO impact on Maricopa County’s board of supervisors. It is pissing in the wind and that is why I used the term “futile gesture” (perhaps in quotes is the best) to clearly indicate that in my humble opinion it is distracting from work that would result in something.

Now I just moved from AZ after nine years so, as they say, my Dog ain”t in that fight, but I do hope for the best for all of you that are there and I just want the efforts to be productive.

That was my impression as well.

I’ve seen this number too many times recently.

It is very important to nip any meaningful resistance in the bud. Don’t want the people thinking they can resist.

The logic of your claim leads to obvious absurdity. For example can your claim stand up in court? Seems to be a non sequitur, so the obvious answer is no...meaning its self refuting.

you are closer to accurate than you think, although it may not be a bar revocation...

it doesn’t take Antifa/BLM.

... from working in that realm in a past life, it’s like a club (lawyers, judges, etc). If you take the ‘wrong’ case, it can result in bad rulings for ANY clients you have in the future - no matter how innocent they may be. And once word of that gets around, that shingle outside your office becomes worthless to clients who can pay, leaving you with those types of clients who can’t pay... do the math.

Winning said ‘wrong’ cases can be even worse.

just my $0.02 (from past experience)

jimjohn - OUT.

I keep telling people this... and they keep pretending I didn’t. And they make their same argument. Just like talking to a ‘tard. It’s weird. They’re here, on this very thread.

There are strangers in our house.

“When no lawyer wants to take your case, that’s probably a sign that you’ve stumbled into a position that is exceptionally difficult to defend in a court of law.”

It’s actually an indication that it’s a corrupt system and that they would risk physical danger or disbarment for even arguing the case. It’s also an indication that he has seen how many lawyers and accountants have been raided by the FBI for representing the wrong cause. The January 6 committee also is targeting Trump’s attorneys.

Ballot Box,
Jury Box,
Ammo Box,

Exactly.

John Adams himself represented the British soldiers accused of murder in the Boston Massacre. It wasn't popular, but he did it.

Today's leftist attorney class are cowards...

I will be so pissed if we lose the election for Juan Ciscomani if his votes are discounted. So many of us worked hard to get him elected.

You'll never convert the FR "Rule Of Law" Pollyannas, even though your post was completely true.

Republicans and Democrats should stop making claims about voter fraud that cannot stand up in court.

Clearly you have no understanding of the history of this topic. The reason most claims don't stand up in court is because the Judges refuse to grant "standing" to bring them to court.

The Courts simply refuse to hear these cases or look at any evidence.

How throwing away Republican votes in Cochise is going to make up for fraud in Mariposa is a puzzler.

How are any votes getting "thrown away" in Chochise county?

And it's "MariCopa", not "Marisposa".

The games these idiots are playing in Cochise County are going to cost the GOP a House seat.

No they are not. That claim is just scare mongering.

The State cannot legally ignore those votes.

I assume the supervisor of county knows more than the writer at national review when it comes to voting in his district.

The supervisors in Cochise County have no problem with the voting in their own county.

They're trying to say they know more about Maricopa County voting than the Maricopa supervisors do.

Judges should stop refusing to hear claims about voter fraud.

God, we are truly the stupid party. I’m convinced that there is a sizable segment of Republicans who just like losing so that they can play the “We wuz robbed!” victim card.

Hey, if it costs a Republican seat and makes us look like idiots, fine.

It's better than having to face the fact that we didn't convince enough voters. Fixing that might require some actual work while making up conspiracy theories is a lot less stressful.

Aren’t most of the votes in Cochise County Republican? This makes no sense. If Cochise County doesn’t certify the vote there is now way Kari Lake wins.

No, they are saying they think the Maricopa county Supervisors are lying sacks of sh*t pushing a fraudulent vote as legitimate. And I think so too.

Do not believe that. The bigger question is "Why do *YOU* believe that?"

The entire election is put on hold regardless. I think they fear the same-old-same-old happening if they certify.

Look what happened with the cyber ninjas?

How are the results of Republican efforts to counter election theft similar to Klaus Schwab's diet recommendations?

Crickets.
