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.

Even the judge can be corrupt. What a sad state of affairs.
Decent Arizonans need to start pushback at the grassroots level.small town mayors, lower court judges, county DA’s. Local police chiefs.Need to drive out the corrupt grifting politicians.

Lol! And who is certified to make such verification judgements? 3rd level flunkies?? Temporary chair warmers who got a crash course the night before on how to examine signatures for similarities or differences. What were the criteria, if any, were required to reject a signature?? And who cross-checked that decision and concured with each assessment?

Nobody! The decision was left to the flunky doing the amateur unqualified examinations.

What would motivate someone to make the correct determination and most likely couldn’t care less if the signatures matched or not?

Signature verification is a complete joke if it doesn’t get forensic level examination or it’s methods are performed by expertly trained technicians that gets cross examined.

The verification process in Maricopa county was a farse at best which lacked any real attempt at being the least bit cursory. Nobody there were experts and nobody cared because they got paid regardless! The worker simply ignored any examination so that the volume could be met to satisfy the demands dictated by thier supervisors which were under direct control by the SOS(Hobbs). Fraud detection had little to do with the verification... just make it look like verification and get the volume out!

There are no such issues when in-person voting is required. The abuse and vote fraud that comes easily with mail-in/drop-box ballots is minimized when ID and signature validation is done at polling check-in with bi-partisan oversight along with a strict chain of custody.

You’re “frankly” fallacy claim is pretentious BS. The election was stolen by exploiting the lack of oversight and ability to control the outcome by a corrupt SOS and it’s minions.

I know how it works. Use the same evidence. It’s valid if it helps the conservative. Not valid if it supports the dem. Every time.

Judges these days seem to think they’re on the bench only to make sure that ‘we the people’ never get any power over our own lives.

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

Even credit card companies have moved away from signature verification for purchases.

I have family in El Paso, and they say TX and AZ are cartel owned. Biden and son have an acct with the cartel.. money in for open border.

The president the dems put in that seat is letting drugs through the border and trafficking children.. all for the all mighty dollar.

Does any of this rile you? They do not care about you nor the USA.. they control all the government.. biden is a figurehead.. there is one last hope

TRUMP AND GOD...

The democrat party control the courts. This is yet another example of lawfare.

When will people wake up and admit CWII is happening all around them? Normalcy bias is rampant.

The Demoncrat/RINO Uniparty have destroyed the integrity of the “vote..” The electorate is now, in their evil, sickening minds, and in reality, irrelevant.
