Kari Lake's last election loss claim dismissed by Arizona judge
CBS News ^ | May 22, 2023

Posted on 05/22/2023 10:15:38 PM PDT by Coronal

A judge on Monday dismissed the only remaining legal claim in Republican Kari Lake's challenge of her loss in last year's race for Arizona governor, affirming the election of Democrat Katie Hobbs.

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter A. Thompson said Lake failed to prove her claim that Maricopa County did not verify signatures on mail ballots as required by law.

Lake was among the most vocal of last year's Republican candidates promoting former President Donald Trump's election lies, which she made the centerpiece of her campaign. She has built a loyal following among Trump supporters and is openly considering a run for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Kyrsten Sinema, an independent and former Democrat. Lake is also often mentioned as a potential vice presidential pick for Trump.

While most other election deniers around the country conceded after losing their races in November, Lake did not. She has touted her legal battle in fundraising appeals and speeches around the country.

Lake did not immediately comment on the ruling.

Pretending to verify signatures is the same thing as verifying them. Everybody knows that.

This is just a preview of 2024!! I hope and pray for a miracle, but unless this is changed ( and it doesn’t look like it is going to )
We can expect to lose 2024 and our country with it.

Once the courts are gone, there’s only one box left.

Pretend? “The Court finds that looking at signatures that, by and large, have consistent characteristics will require only a cursory examination and thus take very little time."

Frankly, this is one of the fallacies of the in person voting crowds. There are so many holes in that being a solution.

Republicans have tried to use the courts to correct the the cheating and have failed every time it’s time to stop whining and play the game the democrats play

Since the courts have ruled consistently the cheating is within the law, then you either use the same tactics the democrats use or you consistently lose and whine about the results

Yes, the mainline media, in lock step, love to use phrases like “discredited allegations of election fraud”. They cannot be bothered to investigate what Ruby Freeman was actually doing. Showing up on Lexington Green is becoming our last option.

If you had something precious taken from you.

How hard would you fight to save it?

Goodnight, Arizona.

Even on the AP’s own website for this screed, they do not include the author’s name. They still are not ashamed of this open bias, never mind their own lies.

I really dislike the whole signature comparison thing. Truly “handwriting analysts” are often hacks. They will say: 50-50.

We should not have signature verification as a part of voting. It’s too easy to forge a signature. A good forgery is great; a bad forgery will work too. It’s also easy to “deem” a signature as “substantially similar,” or “matching,” etc. And it’s too easy to throw boxes of ballots into the SF Bay. Signatures also change over time.

No signatures. Just voter ID and in person. The way to go.
