"My Election Case provided the world with evidence that proves our elections are run outside of the law. This Judge did not rule in our favor. However, for the sake of restoring faith and honesty in our elections, I will appeal his ruling," Lake tweeted Saturday
On Saturday, Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake lost her post-midterm election lawsuit against Democrat Governor-elect Katie Hobbs, which alleged Arizona voters were disenfranchised after actions by Hobbs and Maricopa County election officials.
According to local news, in dismissing Lake's case Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson paved the way for Katie Hobbs to be Arizona's next governor, but gave "both sides until Monday for Lake's side to appeal or for Hobbs' side to seek sanctions." Lake tweeted, "My Election Case provided the world with evidence that proves our elections are run outside of the law. This Judge did not rule in our favor. However, for the sake of restoring faith and honesty in our elections, I will appeal his ruling."On Wednesday, Lake's team argued that ballots in the election, which was won by Hobbs with fewer than 18,000 voted, were not valid after a review granted by the court.
Speaking at the courthouse on Thursday, Lake said "They admitted that they've known about these ballot problems."
One of Lake's experts in her case was professional investigator Heather Honey who used statements from Maricopa County election officials to make the case that legal requirements over chain of custody were not followed.

I watched the full trial. Lake’s team made a good effort, but they never proved malfeasance. A lot of hints and rumors, but any judge will need more than that to overturn an election.
The Arizona Republic (uber left) has an article about this ruling, with a lot more details but cannot be hot-linked here as its source. I tried to post a thread and got blocked by FR’s HQ.
The bastards keep telling us that our Votes do NOT matter. And we allow this. Why?
The only thing we can do is also cheat. That’s what our side is left with.
We crossed the Rubicon a ways back. It's getting hard to see it in our rear view.
Did anyone actually think she’d win. These are Feral, DemocRAT “judges” in there. The DNC owns those lowlife bastards.
They don’t want to open the can of worms from the previous elections by recognizing the problems that were going on then too with the ballot size fiasco.
Grrrrr....! So disgusted with the blatant fraud being rewarded over and over throughout the country. In Arizona, it is so freaking obvious what they did. Courts are corrupt and compromised.
The Hogg had this governorship in the bag as soon as her goatsmellin’ ass decided to run. She ran the electoon.
F'ing idiot judge. I can take one guess as to which alphabet agency threatened him.
That’s what’s so insidious about this situation.
It appears, based on laws and precedents, that it’s nearly impossible to prove malfeasance or fraud in elections. At least to the point where a judge would consider overturning the results.
The Republicans need to come up with a more modern solution.
Anybody think that this was all choreographed for such a result?
Unless some insider actually spills the beans, nothing will happen. And odds are they would assume room temperature before they even could get the word out.
This was the inevitable result.
Kari Lake will never be the governor of AZ and Donald Trump will never be the president of the US.
Intimidation! the thugs can now intimidate judges by just smiling at them.
If short ballot forms are not created intentionally and 16k ballots being “found” just in time are not cause for Lake to win we are in deep trouble as a nation.
Pray for America – we are in a downward slide.
Damn
any chance the good people of Arizona will rise up in a mass protest against the election????
Arizona people gotta do something if they don’t want even worse next time.
