A judge is mulling Lake's last-ditch attempt to overturn the 2020 election

[RandySF]

Kari Lake’s remaining hope of overturning the 2020 election is in the hands of a Maricopa County Superior Court judge after a May 12 hearing in which Maricopa County said her last-ditch effort is built on demonstrably false claims of malfeasance for which she has no evidence.

Lake, a Trump-endorsed election denier, lost her bid for Arizona governor six months ago, but has continued to insist that she, in fact, won because the election was rigged. Lake lost to Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs by more than 17,000 votes, and courts have repeatedly rejected Lake’s claims as evidence-free.

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson on May 12 heard arguments over Lake’s claims that Maricopa County failed to follow ballot envelope signature verification that he initially dismissed in December, but that the Arizona Supreme Court remanded back to him after Lake appealed that ruling.

Lake’s attorneys also tried to convince Thompson to reopen a claim regarding logic and accuracy testing of Maricopa County’s ballot-on-demand printers and tabulators that was previously dismissed. Lake’s attorneys argued that new evidence uncovered after the claim was dismissed warranted its reconsideration.

1. Um, "last ditch" would imply that she'd stop after this try...not a chance.

2. I believe she has already started the next grift

I believe I read she filed another lawsuit on Friday about video monitoring of the testing or counting or some other bullshit.

3. This shit should disqualify someone for holding public office under the 14 amendment

Election denial-ism, is, in of itself, a form of insurrection. The courts should of course allow legitimate claims of election malfeasance their day in court, but when someone is abusing that system using non-existent or made up evidence that no reasonable person could possibly believe makes a legitimate case, then you are trying to overthrow the duly elected officers of the State, and that to me is a form of insurrection.

4. So in essence Trump created a cottage industry of professional losers with his election denials.

Kari Lake appears to be it’s most vigorous disciple.
