Kari Lake asks Az. Supreme Court to take up her case to overturn the 2022 election

Kari Lake, the failed Republican candidate for governor, has asked the Arizona Supreme Court to review the decisions in her election contest case after the case was shot down by both the Maricopa County Superior Court and Arizona Court of Appeals.

“The undisputed facts, and the violations of law, show that Maricopa’s 2022 election must be set aside,” Lake’s lawyers wrote in the petition to the Supreme Court. “Trust must be restored. This Court should grant review to correct this manifest error.”

Lake, the Donald Trump-endorsed standard-bearer for the Arizona Republican Party last year, lost the November election for governor to Democrat Katie Hobbs by more than 17,000 votes.

But that didn’t stop Lake from continuing to claim that she would have actually won the election if not for intentional suppression of Republican voters and rampant election fraud in Maricopa County. It also didn’t stop her from continually asking for donations, which she says are to support her election challenges.

They just HATE ruling against undisputed facts and violations of law. Sadly, Kari Lake isn't quite able to put forward a fact that isn't disputed or an actual violation of the law, and the courts don't seem to be disposed to filling in the blanks for her. Sad!

But if she runs for Senator next year, does she have to resign her chimeric governorship?

After all, a loss is only a loss if the Democrats lose.
For Republicans, a loss is really a win...right?
I'm surprised she didn't call the Arizona Secretary of State and ask the person to "just find me 17,118 votes". Oh, wait a minute, that was Katie Hobbs! So I guess that tactic wasn't going to work.

is being spent. She's probably making more money grifting now than if she had really won the election.

* demonstrated this his entire career and has continued to demonstrate it over and over. It is now the GQP template.

Sue, grift, appeal, grift, appeal, grift.

Worst case, your lawyer gets a fine.
