Kari Lake’s attorney: Evidence of rushed ballot verification warrants overturning 2022 election
Just the News ^ | 5/19/23 | Natalia Mittelstadt

Posted on 05/20/2023 8:42:28 AM PDT by CFW

The trial brought by Kari Lake over questionable ballot counting and verification in her unsuccessful 2022 Arizona gubernatorial campaign concluded Friday with her lead attorney saying audit data on the processes shows “this election should be set aside.”

The trial lasted three days, with closing arguments on both sides focusing on whether there was mathematical evidence proving that Lake had actually won the election.

Lake fell about 17,000 votes short in the official count in her race against then-Secretary of State Hobbs.

She is suing Hobbs, the current Democratic governor, in addition to current Secretary of State Adrian Fontes (D) and Maricopa County election officials, requesting last year's election results be invalidated or that she be declared the winner.

There is no constitutional mechanism to overturn the election in that state—or any other.

Lake isn’t going to have the government of AZ turned over to her. Not next week. Not ever.

of course you can...try it yourself...take two cards and put them side by side...either they match or not...this is not a writing analysis...it’s a match game. The real point is....someone signed.

Kari Lake will lose this case, here is why:

The Judge stated on Thursday that Lake's team must prove that NO signature verification had transpired.

That is both impossible to prove and is not what her team was arguing for. Instead, the argument was that the second level of verification was both wholly inadequate and heavily biased against her. Indeed, it was both of that, but that is not going to matter to this Judge.

Not mentioned yet was that testimony on Wednesday revealed that in the 2020 election Maricopa Election supervisors took absentee ballots home with them to be counted. No observers were present during these counts.

So, all she can do is blacken the Hobbs administration and give visible proof (so visible even the media can see it!) that election fraud is real!

It's like a typist who does 120 words a minute with "0" errors and a typist who does 110 words a minute but with "10" errors.

Wait a minute. A typist is going off pure memory, finger key placement. That has nothing to do with examining individual signatures. A typist does not even look at, nor examine the keys during the typing process. Where did you come up with this??

Sad to see, that not one of these recent developments are even being covered by the MSM.

The point is not that someone signed. The point is that the two match. There is no way you can match two signatures in 3 seconds or less. You’re just clicking the box if you go through them that fast. You’re not actually checking.

I can’t believe there are so many people here that think anyone would be capable of matching signatures that quickly. They there is the fact that basically none of them were rejected. It appears more and more that conservatives are their own worst enemy.

I know at least 2 people who could probably beat that...one is my daughter and the second is my best friend.

My daughter was the only one in the entire state who got 100% on a reading comprehension test. They even sent her test back to evaluate again. Her speed is unbelievable. She's like a scanner.

My friend edits law books...she'd nail the 3 seconds easily.

You know we never sign the same twice...

“Hardly conclusive.”

It is impossible to verify without scrolling down to see the actual signature, and then scrolling back up again. The dude on the left never scrolled once. Absolutely no comparison was done.

You are right. It’s an impossible standard and the judge knows this.
About the only thing we can hope for is that at least there’s a public record of how badly the election was run. If no steps are taken to correct the signature validation issues that plagued this election, then everyone will know that the current state government likes it this way (of course we all know that already).

A typist is fixated on one thing...the document he is transcribing. The election worker is concentrated on one thing...the document before him.

The one on the right is fiddling with the mouse and swooshing her hair with her hand. The one on the left is concentrating...one hand on the mouse and one on the keyboard. What a difference a professional can make.

It's "a culture" of accepting stolen elections. "It's impacting our party" this election cycle. They think it's a "distraction".

Actually speed is a component.

Are there people who can type faster then others? Certainly! Barbara Blackburn can do 212 WPM. Mine is a respectable but snails pace (next to her) of 63.

But if you hear of someone doing 420.69 a minute you know there has either been a major change in technology, someone is gaming the system or they are flat out lying to you.

The numbers they are putting out pushes this into unbelievable.

LOL...When I type I don’t examine anything. Right now, I’m not looking at *any* document, I’m just typing off memory, hand key placement.

You’re analogy is total bull sh*t.

And when Lake loses because of the impossible standard MSM will blast out another election denier was discredited. I wonder if Ronna will call Lake “a failed candidate”…again
