Kari Lake's legal challenge to overturn Arizona governor's race results to start Wednesday

Eight of the 10 original claims have been dismissed, but a claim on ballot printers and another on ballot handling are still on the table.

Excellent reporting 12News, most local stations are going with disengenious and sensationalist headlines.

You nailed it.

So it's basically over again, at least it didn't take 6 million dollars and a road trip for our votes this time, these dismissals will be as easy as 1, 2...🤣🤣🤣

Hobbs was subpoenaed but did not show for the trial. Any reporting on this fact??

Free Keri !
She’s a political prisoner.

If some or all of the other parts are pertinent and have weight, how can a judge not allow

[anslicht]

Three judges on the Appeals court have joined the original lower court judge in tossing Lake's claims as worthless. They summarized their reasons in the opening paragraph of the 12-page Opinion:

"... her request for relief fails because the evidence presented to the superior court ultimately supports the court’s conclusion that voters were able to cast their ballots, that votes were counted correctly, and that no other basis justifies setting aside the election results."

The opinion, authored by Chief Judge Kent Cattani, and joined by Peter Swann and Maria Elena Cruz, separately addresses the two counts which were the subject of the two-day trial, the printer/tabulator claim and the chain of custody issues.

Cattani reviewed Lake's allegations and summarized them as "sheer speculation".

"Lake’s claim thus boils down to a suggestion that election-day issues led to long lines at vote centers, which frustrated and discouraged voters, which allegedly resulted in a substantial number of predominately Lake voters not voting. But Lake’s only purported evidence that these issues had any potential effect on election results was, quite simply, sheer speculation."

"Regarding ostensibly missing chain-of-custody documentation, Lake’s evidence was either misdirected (e.g., a witness who reported not receiving certain forms in response to a public records request but who also confirmed that she “know[s] they exist”) or was provided by individuals who were not present or could not see the relevant area. For their part, Maricopa County elections officials confirmed the existence of chain-of-custody forms documenting how election-day early ballot packets are processed from vote center to tabulation. The court had ample basis to conclude that Lake failed to prove improper chain-of-custody documentation."

What does the Constitution say the penalty for treason is? let's go with

[kevindukes]

Lake should get pillow on her legal team😃

[jeanneshank]

We are praying for God to go for you Kari and Arizona, let the truth win and take Katie out to pasture.

[RickGrimes]

How's it even legal for Hobbs to handle her OWN governor race?? Just answer me this

[gfhjhvjgfvkjvv]

This is what trash looks like folks, look carefully, …

[jamesmason]

On 2 of the original 10 counts. And those require that she 1) prove willful malfeasance and 2) that the errors were enough to change the result. Any luck at all? Hobbs can celebrate the end of this time waster by Christmas. And Lake can move on to her true calling as a spokesperson of election denialist grift.

Watching her lawyer Kurt Nobrain fumble. Too funny

[thomascianciola]

I hope Keri wins. These scumbags have been cheating for far to long and it's time someone puts an end to it.

[LiveFromDuluth]

Hopefully she’s paying for this by herself. A few months in jail with 300 Pound Linda might change her attitude a little.

[burtstineman]

I don’t vote, never will, however it would be funny af if this gets over turned.

[rolandsmithjr]

KARI LAKE I LOVE YOU WHETHER YOU WIN OR LOSE. LETS ADJUST OUR EXPECTATIONS. ITLL TAKE A COUPLE MORE YEARS TO FIX THIS.

[zeppelinrich]

Kari Lake needs to shut up, get over it, and move on.
