As Kari Lake whines about 'botched' election, Arizona moves on -- angering the GOP

Sarah K. Burris
November 23, 2022



Governor-elect Katie Hobbs was welcomed to the office by the current governor, Doug Ducey on Wednesday as he offered to make the transition from his government to hers a peaceful and easy one.



It's something that Hobbs' chief of staff highlighted in a tweet as well. It harkens back to Jan. 6, when Donald Trump refused to cooperate with a peaceful transition for his presidency.



Meanwhile, the failed Republican opponent, Kari Lake, continued her conspiracy about her election loss and pledged that she was going to launch her court case that would ultimately deliver her a victory.

“We’re on a timeline. A very strict timeline when it comes to fighting this botched election, and they’re dragging their feet. They don’t want to give us the information, so we’re asking the courts to force them," she tweeted.

An opportunistic loser posing as a winner, complete with all the requisite grievances and a long history of political chameleonship for personal gain. The difference in apparel is a minor technicality.

I hope courts keep sanctioning lawyers who bring these frivolous suits and that at some point the state Bar associations actually take some meaningful action against lawyers that are willing to bring a suit with ZERO legal basis. Maybe a fine for lawyers that is twice their fee would be a disincentive if disbarment is not an option.

When several republicans are on the same ballot for different offices, the ones that win are an honest election.

The ones that lose are because of voter fraud. Or whatever excuse.

Same voter(s).
