Court of Appeals Agrees to Expedite Kari Lake’s 2022 Election Case

If I had to bet on a fighter to win, it’s Lake. Kari Lake is a hero.

One of these cases is going to break the dam wide open.

Court of Appeals Agrees to Expedite Kari Lake’s 2022 Election Case

By: Epoch Times, January 13, 2023:

The Arizona Court of Appeals agreed to expedite consideration of Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s lawsuit alleging that the 2022 election was flawed.

In a brief order, issued on Jan. 9 and made public the next day, the court ordered a reset of “the matter for conference on February 1, 2023,” and agreed with Lake’s arguments that her challenge should be handled as a “special action petition.” The court date was reportedly scheduled for March.

Lawyers for Democrat Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, the state’s former secretary of state, has until Jan. 17 to respond and argue why Lake’s challenge should be rejected, according to the order. Lake had petitioned both the state’s Appeals Court and Supreme Court after a Maricopa County judge rejected her case after a two-day trial in December.

But earlier this month, the Arizona Supreme Court denied Lake’s petition to transfer her election lawsuit to the high court and said it will be heard before the Appeals Court first.

In December, Lake filed a lawsuit against Hobbs in her capacity as secretary of state, Maricopa County supervisors, Maricopa Recorder Stephen Richer, and other officials, asserting that the county’s handling of the election was seriously flawed and disenfranchised Election Day voters. Lake, a former broadcast journalist, argued that such disenfranchisement and election voting issues were enough to swing the election in her favor. She lost by 17,000 votes.

A Maricopa County judge, Peter Thompson, threw out Lake’s lawsuit on Dec. 24 and said she did not produce enough evidence, but he ruled that Lake should not be sanctioned and fined hundreds of thousands of dollars. Days before that, Thompson tossed out 8 of Lake’s 10 election claims.

A portion of Lake’s lawsuit included claims that she would have won or had a better chance of winning if dozens of Maricopa County ballot printers worked properly on Election Day. A number of those printers created ballots that couldn’t be read by tabulators, Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates and Richer confirmed during a Nov. 8 news conference, telling voters to place those ballots in drop-boxes or find another location to vote.

Supervisors in Maricopa recently sought to produce a report to determine why those ballot printers didn’t work in November. They hired former Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Ruth McGregor to carry out an investigation, the county confirmed last week.

Lake’s lawyers previously argued that those Maricopa officials allegedly “admitted, after first denying, that illegally misconfigured ballots were injected into the election” and triggered the “tabulators to reject tens of thousands of ballots.” Lawyers stated Republican voters on Election Day were disproportionally impacted.”

During the two-day trial, Lake called on independent pollster Richard Baris, who testified that he believes the Election Day technical problems disenfranchised enough voters that it would have changed the outcome of the race. Maricopa Election Day voters, he asserted, mostly trended Republican and that between 25,000 to 40,000 people who would normally have voted actually didn’t cast ballots as a result of the tabulator and printer errors.

Baris told the court that his estimate was primarily influenced by the number of people who began answering his exit polls but didn’t finish the process during the midterm contest.

And as we’re already seeing, Hobbs is surrendering to the illegals – just as I and others with active brain cells figured would happen. She recently proposed something like free college tuition or education for illegals (correct me if the details are muddled up).

Allowing in-state university tuition rates for illegals who grew up in Arizona was on our 2022 ballots.

Hopefully Kari Lake will get somewhere. Hobbs has also been talking about mask mandates and pushing abortion.

Hobbs is also likely to go after charter schools, in total appeasement of the teachers unions. Bad news all around. All this was what Ms. Lake was out to stop.

Word is her first EO will be to mandate teachers AND students use trans-kids’ “prefetred” pronouns. The better to drum up business for her husband’s career transing kids.

I rest my case. This is the kind of thing you get if you elect a Democrat to any position.

What makes you think her appeal will do any better than her failed lawsuit?

Lake is obviously a delusional fanatic.

The problem is NOT Ms. Lake, it is a rigged system. You clearly are on the side of the illegals, drug cartels, human traffickers, perverts, groomers, freaks, teachers unions, baby killers et al. They’re the ones who wanted Hobbs in.

To deny incontrovertible evidence the election in Maricopa County was flawed makes you the one who is delusional. Please see a doc or remember to take your meds.

I hope she’s not far from getting all the credit she deserves.
And the Governorship of Arizona.
