U.S. appeals court tosses out Kari Lake, Mark Finchem lawsuit

TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — A federal appeals court is tossing out Kari Lake and Mark Finchem's lawsuit alleging voting machines violate their constitutional rights.

[snip]

9th Circuit Court of Appeals Judges Ronald M. Gould, Andrew D. Hurwitz and Patrick J. Bumatay decided Monday Lake and Finchem did not present enough evidence supporting their claim.

None of Plaintiffs’ allegations supported a plausible inference that their individual votes in future elections will be adversely affected by the use of electronic tabulation, particularly given the robust safeguards in Arizona law, the use of paper ballots, and the post-tabulation retention of those ballots.

[snip]

Ultimately, the judges' decision means since the election is over, Lake and Finchem's claim is invalid because the voting machines no longer affect them as candidates.

Suit Win Percentage, W/L record would be equally enlightening. Still, she's a long way from matching DJT's SWP..... a loss record I doubt will ever be equalled.
