An Arizona judge on Wednesday denied 2022 Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake's request to review ballot envelope signatures, concluding it "would have a corrosive effect on public confidence in the electoral process."
In September, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge John Hannah presided over a two-day trial to decide whether Lake's legal team could have access to review the ballot envelope signatures for the 2022 general election in the county.
Lake lost the race to Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs by less than 1 percent of the vote.
Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer denied the GOP candidate's request in April, prompting her to go to court.
In a post on the X social media platform in September, Richer said he was defending voter privacy and election security by not releasing the ballot envelopes for Lake to review. “I believe these envelopes are not public record according to state statute. And I believe that making them public would have a chilling effect on voting, would weaken the security controls on early voting, and would open the door to voter harassment,” he wrote.
Lake responded at the time, “Professional Victim @stephen_richer is lying again. We’re not asking these signatures to be made public. We are asking to review them to assess whether they are legitimate or not. We have a STRONG reason to believe they’re not. Clearly, so does Stephen.”

Begs the Question:
HOW MUCH CORRUPTION IN THE JUDICIARY IS THERE IN THIS COUNTRY TO ALLOW OBVIOUS ILLEGALITIES TO PROSPER??
Treason never prospers.
The reason?
BECAUSE NONE DARE....CALL IT TREASON.
either signatures and ballots can be verified whenever we wish or there is no integrity to the process.
it’s that simple.
Has anyone, ANYONE read the Judge’s Ruling?
I thought so.
People, stop being lazy and read the ruling.

following his logic, there would never be a time to verify the integrity of the ballots.
this from bing,hardly a conservative site:
Hillary Rodham Clinton worked on the third floor of Rose Law Firm. Her office was located in the Rose building, a converted YMCA with old hardwood floors and even a swimming pool1. The firm itself is situated less than a mile away from where she will be addressing Democrats at the Alltel Arena2. While the exact distance between her current location and the Rose Law Firm isn't specified, it's safe to say that she's not too far from her old stomping grounds.
Interestingly, during the Whitewater controversy, her billing records from the mid-1980s at the Rose Law Firm became a subject of intrigue. The controversy revolved around an investigation into real estate investments involving Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as their associates, Jim and Susan McDougal, in the Whitewater Development Corporation. This venture aimed to develop vacation properties along the White River near Flippin, Arkansas3. The failed Whitewater deal led to scrutiny, but neither Bill nor Hillary Clinton were ever prosecuted, despite multiple inquiries3. It's a fascinating intersection of politics and private interests, with the Rose Law Firm playing a significant role in the unfolding drama.
This is 12 pages of BS which I don’t have time to read. What is your summary judgment?
Re: 66 - willful ignorance is not easily remedied.
My take? The records of signatures are subject to the Arizona public records law, but are specifically exempted from disclosure.
That means he believes she would find what she's looking for.

Yup. We cheated. Shhhhh! Can’t corrode public confidence.
It’s like Three-card Monte. Keep the suckers coming back for more.
Appeal!
Yep

Translation: If the truth come out, people will know how crooked the system is and they would (rightly) revolt.
Seems the Az. political system is owned by the drug cartel. The cartels want to keep the Marxist Dems in power to keep their drug routes open.
Close, It is a Public Admission that the Judge knows the election w3as riddled with Fraud and Corruption, allowing the information to be made available would undermine further and ongoing ELECTION FRAUD.

Why would it have a CORROSIVE EFFECT on public confidence, judge? Oh, because they would KNOW that the election was a sham and that you goons in black robes covered it up and continued to block any light to be shed on the subject!
So in laymans terms we are not allowed to see the sigs.?
if so what are the chances that be successfully appealed?
Not if their release is barred by statute, except the judge could release them if he believed their release would be be in the public interest. That seems to be a good avenue for an appeal.

duh.
Judge Hannah’s decision: wrong for all the right reasons?
Donate to Lake’s appeal effort. This kind of gross stupidity (or venal action) on the part of the judge should be appealed. This is weapon’s grade venality and stupidity.
