Kari Lake granted new trial, must prove Maricopa County ignored signature-verification rules
AZ Mirror ^ | 5/15/23 | Jim Small

Kari Lake will have one last chance to argue in court that her 17,000-vote loss 2022 election should be overturned — but to actually do so, she will have to prove conclusively that Maricopa County brazenly failed to verify tens of thousands of early voter signatures and that, in doing so, the county affected the outcome in the election.

And the judge in the case, who ruled late Monday that Lake can take her sole remaining claim to trial on Wednesday, made clear that the former GOP gubernatorial nominee has her work cut out for her: She must prove her allegations by “clear and convincing evidence,” something he noted she hasn’t yet done in her monthslong litigation trying to toss out the November election.

Other GOP candidates would, and have, given up long ago. At least Lake is getting the fraud on record.

Of course it’s a difficult standard to prove, however they definitely interfered in the election and did it to suppress the vote in areas where she would have been strong.

We are going to have to get a presence in the media so that we don’t have a fraudulent media which treats every Democrat scandal as if it doesn’t exist, and writes every article telling the public that there is “no evidence”.

Where the f*** is the full power of the GOP. Hiding under beds? They bite the big one. All they do is beg for money.

She won’t succeed in overturning the election but it’s good that she’s put Maricopa on notice and on the record. There was definitely something not right going on there in 2022.

I don’t think it’s coincidental that other Republicans less identified with Trump won. In Georgia they all won easily except Walker and Walker was Trump’s choice.

Seems like they should have to prove the signatures were verified rather than Lake having to prove they weren’t.

Once again an impossible standard. You cannot to prove they ignored the rules. Ignore being the key. Lake has to prove what someone was thinking. So when she loses the MSM hacks will say it’s proof that thieving bitch Hobbs won fair and square.

The GOP does nothing but beg for money and bed wet. It’s why I stopped donating to the party.

The last thing the GOP-e wants to happen is for Kari Lake to be seated as Governor, and then Abraham Hamadeh as AG as well.

If that happens, the 202 fraud will be busted wide open in AZ and the dominoes will fall.

The GOP-e is complicit and participated in the whole thing nationwide. They are the enemy.

Indeed. But it's difficult not to perceive the invisible hand of President Trump inspiring Lake's Struggle for election integrity.

New York just proves that Trump’s “type” is a 60 year old crazy woman. Different standards

“In Georgia they all won easily except Walker and Walker was Trump’s choice.”

The Establishment (Repubs and Dems) let the ones less identified with Trump win. They were willing to destroy the country to get Trump. It was not the voters decision.

This one is headed back to the AZ Supreme Court after she proves Maricopa County didn’t follow signature verification. The Mormon judge keeps attaching a standard that doesn’t exist in state law.

If the fraud gets exposed, then the GOP collusion that allowed it will also get exposed. Can’t have that.

Maybe she’ll get a promotion and be Vice President soon.

Where does “brazen” fall on the standard of proof scale?

A formality just to make it appear like she's getting her day in court, then it's back to denying her the rightful office she clearly won.

Does anyone think they'll actually examine ALL the evidence? Most will be thrown out as inadmissible and will never be looked at.

Yup. Wrong standard. Looks like the fix is in.
