A judge in Arizona on Thursday ordered the governing board of a ruby-red county in the southeastern corner of the state to certify the results of the Nov. 8 election, finding that its members had no authority to shirk a duty required under state law...
The denouement in Cochise County played out as a federal judge, also on Thursday, sanctioned lawyers for Kari Lake and Mark Finchem, the unsuccessful GOP candidates for governor and secretary of state, respectively. Taken together, the orders show how judges are scorning efforts to politicize ministerial roles and undermine election administration.
The federal judge, John Tuchi of the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, wrote that sanctions would “make clear that the Court will not condone litigants … furthering false narratives that baselessly undermine public trust at a time of increasing disinformation about, and distrust in, the democratic process.”
Attorneys for Lake and Finchem went unnamed in the judge’s order, which directed Maricopa County to detail their attorneys’ fees within 14 days. Among attorneys listed by the candidates in court filings was Alan Dershowitz, the former Harvard Law School professor who has previously advised former president Donald Trump.
The case was financed largely by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, who has promoted debunked claims about voter fraud....

They ought to tell the judge to F himself and challenge the so-called prickjurist to send Gestapo marshalls to arrest them and make sure the arrests are recorded live
The ComPOST has had it’s word.
We know what not to believe now.

“In other words, certification is a meaningless rite designed to make the common folks think their votes are meaningful.”
You lie, and I’ll swear to it....
Shows that the dens are scared they will be proven to have lost these election.
They will use anything to steal elections.
And they are certain it’s a “false narrative” without any examination of the facts.
Cochise County has legitimate concerns. Since Maricopa County conducted a pristine election and 40% of the voting machines malfunctioned, then Cochise has to suspect their own results since ZERO machines malfunctioned.
Lob logic turned on its ear.

He's gonna regret fining Lake, she'll appeal.

Obama Judge. Funny, the rats always have the person they need in the position they need at the time they are needed.
It no longer IS a Democratic Process.

ALL THE TICKETS-—TO ALL THE SEATS-—TO ALL THE SHOWS over 8 months were sold out in ONE DAY.
We can process those transactions-—but we cannot run a clean election.
TIME FOR PAYBACK
The board in question can ask the judge for an evidentiary ruling on whether the election was LAWFUL given: AZ Law [cite conflict of interest statute] states current office holders shall avoid all official duties from a conflict of interest such as being SoS of AZ in an election of which she is a candidate. [picture of Hobbs in counting room during election, no escorts, no other candidates allowed, performing her SoS election duties]. If this violates election law, can the election truly be claimed as 'LAWFUL'?
Ask the judge if further example necessary. Did the delay in fixing the broken machines cause voter disenfranchisement? Whether it affected the results is immaterial, did it violate state election law? An unlawful election is null and void, and cannot be 'certified'.
