Breaking: Judge rejects Kari Lake’s request to examine ballot envelopes

[Revel]

At the end of the day we do not have 3 equal branches of Government. One so called judge sitting in a chair can overrule everyone. The corrupt judicial system we now have in the country was the key to destroying this country. Because of the judicial system then the battle is already over. Darkness wins.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Can’t go checking mail-in ballots or the election might prove to be stolen.

judges nationwide are mostly progressive

Hannah argued the release of the ballot envelopes and their signatures would undermine the ballot verification process for future elections.

Well that is a stupid argument.

[From The Deer Stand]

Lefty judge no doubt.

[FLT-bird]

The ballots are public records. They should be required to be released to 3rd parties so that they can be checked. Saying “all is well”....and “no you can’t see them” does not inspire the public to have any trust or confidence in the integrity of the election.

[FLT-bird]

Yep. Why are they opposed to transparency? The inference is clear.

I’ve worked in audit. We don’t take companies’ word for it. We demand that they open their books and we check that the numbers they are reporting are accurate. Its the same for banks.

Why the hell should anybody take the government’s word for it without demanding that they open the books?

[joesbucks]

Yes they are public record, but preservation of the ballots is also a priority. While not the same election, but didn’t the ninja’s spoil some of the ballots they inspected?

[FLT-bird]

I’d need to see evidence the auditors damaged some of the ballots. There is no inherent reason why you would need to damage any. This sounds like BS Democrat propaganda.

[Macho MAGA Man]

But he made it official!

[clearcarbon]

"Hannah argued the release of the ballot envelopes and their signatures would undermine the ballot verification process for future elections."

Then what is the point of having the signatures if they can not be used to validate ballots when the legitimacy of an election is questioned?

[Bullish]

Kari Lake fights! I like that.

[Jane Long]

🤬 ping.

[Lakeside Granny]

Thanks for the ping!

There was nothing about the election that was fair and honest and Judge Hannah is proving it by this ruling.

Fraud? What fraud? And how dare you think I would even let you look and find that fraud!
