Kari Lake indicated that she will file an appeal after a court rejected her allegations in a lawsuit seeking to reverse her loss to Katie Hobbs by around 17,000 votes in the Arizona gubernatorial election.
The judge had pledged to review the evidence of very suspicious difficulties at vote tabulation centers and in Maricopa, Colorado, particularly where machine tabulators had failed so spectacularly that it was impossible for all of the mistakes not to have been deliberate.
In the end, the judge essentially decided that the election authorities were doing the best they could and endorsed the State’s argument that citizens should vote on election day since the election officials were overburdened.
Lake has demonstrated her will to take the subject to the next level and advocate for electoral reform, notwithstanding her most recent defeat.

Notable, Lake’s crew reported a townhall post with a great deal of logic:
“The Dismissal of Kari Lake’s Election Lawsuit Shows Voter Disenfranchisement No Longer Matters @Rach_IC :”Legal experts believe his decision [by Judge Thompson] was ghostwritten, they suspect top left-wing attorneys like Marc Elias emailed him what to say.”

“The trial court judge in Kari Lake’s election lawsuit predictably threw out her case on Saturday, putting on a sham trial that on the surface looked fair to the general public that doesn’t know any better, but to legal minds was a travesty of justice. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson only gave her two days for a trial and issued his ruling immediately afterward, even though he could have taken several days, and it was one of the biggest, most important cases in the country. Legal experts believe his decision was ghostwritten; they suspect top left-wing attorneys like Marc Elias emailed him what to say,” Townhall reported.
Here is how the local Arizona newspaper covered the startling, though somewhat predictable, verdict:
“Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson issued a decision in the suit at 10:45 a.m. on Christmas Eve, shooting down all of Lake’s claims. His decision came after a two-day trial on Wednesday and Thursday in which Lake’s team attempted to convince him that a Maricopa County employee had intentionally tampered with Election Day ballot printers in an effort to disenfranchise Republican voters and that the county’s failure to adhere to chain-of custody rules for early ballots dropped off on Election Day led to thousands of illegal ballots being injected into the system,” according to the Arizona Mirror.
Saturday morning, Lake tweeted, “This Judge did not rule in our favor. However, for the sake of restoring faith and honesty in our elections, I will appeal his ruling.”
Marin Walsh, for Conservative Brief, reported:
Judge Thompson wrote in his decision: “Every one of Plaintiff’s witnesses — and for that matter, Defendants’ witnesses as well — was asked about any personal knowledge of both intentional misconduct and intentional misconduct directed to impact the 2022 General Election. Every single witness before the Court disclaimed any personal knowledge of such misconduct. The Court cannot accept speculation or conjecture in place of clear and convincing evidence.”

Over 200 people submitted statements to the court detailing their frustrating experiences trying to vote on Election Day in Maricopa County. However, Judge Thompson stated that many of those voters were still able to cast their ballots. CONTINUE READING…
