"That is 42.5% illegal ballots in their random samples. This election was completely illegitimate," the Lake War Room quote-tweeted.
Ballots reviewed in Wednesday's examination of ballots cast in Maricopa county for November's gubernatorial elections were not valid, according to Republican Candidate Kari Lake's legal team. A tweet from the Lake War Room said that 48 of 113 ballots reviewed during the examination were "19-inch ballots produced on 20-inch paper,"
"This one-inch discrepancy cause chaos on Election day. Causing the mass rejection of these votes as they were attempted to be read through the tabulators," the Kari Lake War Room wrote on Wednesday, as the former broadcaster's legal team seeks to prove that election tampering took place, leading to the victory of her opponent Katie Hobbs.
"That is 42.5% illegal ballots in their random samples. This election was completely illegitimate," the Lake War Room quote-tweeted. The defense is arguing that even if what Lake's team is claiming were true, the ballots would be tabulated later on and the votes would still be counted.
In another tweet, they wrote, "This Is how they disenfranchised Maricopa County voters on Election Day. The ballots were designed to be unable to be read through the machines. This wasn't an error. It was malice. The process worked exactly as they intended it to."
The race between Hobbs and Lake was decided by less than 18,000 votes, with the Democratic candidate winning 1,287,891 votes to Lake's 1,270,774. The counts put forward by Lake's team contest her loss. Most counts were thrown out by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson, with 8 being tossed while two counts were allowed to proceed. Those counts deal with alleged intentional misconduct.
Lake told Turning Point USA's AmericaFest on Tuesday that this marked a "huge win" for her legal team, saying, "we got great news. We're taking these b*stards to trial!" Adding that Hobbs would take the stand in the trial.
It was later announced by Lake's attorneys that they had withdrawn the subpoena for Hobbs to testify.
"Maricopa County wants you to believe that they are so incompetent that all of the problems on Election Day can be written off as mistakes.
"Would that make it any better? Is the election better run by clowns and not crooks? This was no accident. And we're done with the circus," the Lake War Room would go on to tweet.
New word here, I coined it: queeted. (”Quote tweeted” sounds very clumsy.)
I didnt find any election fraud
Because
I didn’t look for any election fraud
Because
There is no election fraud
Which is why
I didn’t find any election fraud
Thus
I didn’t have to look for any election fraud.
Since
There is no election fraud.
That is how the decision from the Judge will likely read in this case.
RE: Kari Lake trial reveals 42.5% improper ballots in examination, testimony points to voter disenfranchisement
And at this point in time, what difference does it make?
In post Constitutional United States, none.
Hobbs’ ‘election’ will stand
Mistakes were made. Inadequate funding for administration and training. /s
There was also testimony that these ballots would all end up being counted, so…
Since Maricopa County is so sure they were counted elsewhere, they should have no problem producing the chain of custody telling exactly how many ballots could not be counted at each location and how they were sealed, sent, transported, received, and counted where they claim.
True, but the judge said Lake also had to prove any issues were intentional and enough to swing the election.
Not seeing it yet.
P
THey hand counted the ballots. No fraud. well the whole process is fraudulent as it is not auditable but. you can’t prove fraud. incompetence is a good defense.
would all end up being counted, so…>>> Exactly. they were hand counted.
What difference does it make!. The election is over. The ballots are counted. Fraud Took Place ., Que sera sera.
I believe the judge only said that for the equipment failure issue, and not for the chain of custody issue.
step one.
The county claims that they couldn’t locate the chain of custody documents for the actual day of election votes, but had no problem with mail-in or drop box votes.
An honest judge would toss out the election and order a new one.
