According to Republican governor candidate Kari Lake’s legal team, 42.5% of examined ballots in Maricopa County for the 2022 governor’s race were illegitimate. Lake’s trial began on Wednesday were she is attempting to prove that wide scale fraud took place in Maricopa County on election day.
The Lake War Room tweeted on Wednesday that 48 of the 113 ballots that were reviewed during 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 tweeted.
In a separate tweet, the Lake War Room 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.”
One commenter on Twitter noted that there was no way the improper ballot size could have been because of “error.”
“The expert testified there are only 2 ways for the 19 inch image to have bee projected onto the 20 in ballot which would cause tabulator errors. Both methods require an administrator to change. This could not have happened by chance or error. It was fraud.”
The Lake War Room added context with video footage of the trial: “The Co-Elections Director for Maricopa County refuses to accept responsibility for the countywide failures on Election Day. Falsely asserts the people impacted by problems at voting centers could simply “go somewhere else.” It’s not that easy. But he knows that.”

According to the story, it’s the other way round: was supposed to be 19 inches, but was printed on 20 inch paper. Or did I misread this?
I believe the print was supposed to be a full 20” but it was shrunk down to 19” on the 20” paper.
Why is this important?
Each ballot has codes and markings designed to be read by the tabulator. If the codes and markings are in the wrong spot when the ballot is scanned the machine will reject it as a bad ballot.
I have little expectation of justice.
Thanks. The story could have been more clear on just what happened!
So, having to provide photo identification to vote is disenfranchisement and voter suppression, BUT, being handed a ballot that can’t be read and registered by the machine used, and therefore having your vote nullified, is not disenfranchisement or voter depression - because you could also go somewhere else to vote..
OK..
Good! Let’s hope that there is a new election. And you are right, the bar should not have to be as high as corruption.
God willing, there will be a new, FAIR election.
Hopefully, the crooked Demonrats will get turned out all over America.
So what? The answer: Democrats won. The Republic lost. You lost. Enjoy!
God Bless you Kari! She’s 100% right. It’s time to burn it all down. She’s a better Trump sometimes than Trump himself. LOL
Agreed. I expect people will say we should vote harder next time and maybe we will win.
We live in a kleptocracy, folks
You'll love this then, but please sit down first.
The invalid ballots that were unable to be processed via machine were placed in bins and then later mixed together with ballots that had already been counted. No means to determine which were which...

“Both methods require an administrator to change. This could not have happened by chance or error. It was fraud.”
Exactly! And this is how Kari has proven malice. If the judge doesn’t rule in her favor it’s because he woke up with a horse head on the pillow next to him some morning.
I wish Kari’s witness who covered this issue had said it that way. I understood what he was trying to get across, but the doofus Maricopa attorney kept badgering him. I shouted at the TV, “Say a System Administrator was the only one who could do this!”. He didn’t hear me.
They wanted us to think that every time Bertha and Mabel at the polling place produced a print-on-demand ballot they went into the Print Setup of every document and changed the Properties.
“So the question is, what remedies are legally available for Ms. Lake? “
Someone posted AZ law yesterday. There’s no option for conducting a new election. But if there was fraud, the loser (Kari) becomes Governor.
“The question is: who’s doing the recreation and was there Republican oversight of each of those ballots?”.
Sounds like nobody is re-creating a ballot. These ballots are print-on-demand at the polling places. It’s a simple manipulation of the printer Properties by system administrator(s). Probably no oversight; just Maricopa IT people doing their regular jobs, and taking their orders from TPTB.
WHO ORDERED THE WRONG SIZE BALLOT PAPER?
To be fair, Lake probably loses this one.
But the Republic wins by simply filing a solid suit, and fighting. Emboldens our side, and puts the enemy on notice that they are not going to get away with stealing every election from here on out without a fight, and a lot of publicity. Which, one hopes, will red pill the sleeping masses.
Voters disenfranchised by the 19" error, that ballot should have chain-of-custody back to the administrator who intentionally changed the registration marks.
Kari's lawyers should be seeking permission to build out that class and join this suit.
Here’s What Happened the Last Time There Was An Election Do-Over"The first, a House contest in Louisiana, was a true do-over. In 1974—when Louisiana still held party primaries—Rep. John Rarick, once described by one of his Democratic colleagues as the “leading racist” in the House, was upended in the primary by 29-year-old Jeff LaCaze. Rarick’s defeat opened the door for Republican Henson Moore, who emerged from the November general election with a 44-vote lead over LaCaze.
But one of Baton Rouge’s voting machines had malfunctioned, casting doubt on Moore’s narrow victory and catapulting the race into court. “The court was faced with—what do you do in a case like that? Were all the votes counted? There was no way to tell,” Moore recounted more than a decade later, as the House was debating yet another contested election, this one in Indiana’s infamous “Bloody Eighth” District.
“And so the court ordered that election to be rerun,” Moore said, calling it “the first federal election in history to ever be rerun.”
That low, huh?
The best we can hope is that those responsible go to prison, but even that is a long shot.
