Eight of the ten claims made by Arizona gubernatorial Kari Lake were dismissed by the state judge. The claims dismissed were for violations of freedom of speech, invalid signatures on mail-in ballots, equal protection, due process, secrecy clause, incorrect certification, inadequate remedy, and constitutional rights claims.
However, two claims were approved for trial, fraudulent tabulator configurations and violations pertaining to chain of custody for ballots. Mrs. Lake faces a steep hill to climb as the election results were certified as accurate and correct by county and state officials. Lake will have to prove any tabulation errors or ballot custody issues were the result of intentional wrongdoing by Maricopa County officials.
ARIZONA – Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake is heading to trial after a judge allowed two out of 10 of her election lawsuit claims to move forward Monday.
Lake had brought forward a civil complaint earlier this month to overturn her 2022 midterm election loss against Democrat Katie Hobbs. Judge Peter Thompson decided that two claims, one regarding her allegations about illegal tabulator configurations and the other about violations pertaining to ballot chain of custody, can move forward.
“Our Election Case is going to trial. Katie Hobbs attempt to have our case thrown out FAILED. She will have to take the stand & testify. Buckle up, America. This is far from over,” Lake beamed on Twitter.
To be successful in her lawsuit, Lake’s legal team must prove that “printer malfunctions were intentional, and directed to affect the results of the election, and that such actions did actually affect the outcome,” according to the judge. She must also show that the lack of chain of custody was “both intentional and did in fact result in a changed outcome.” (read more)

Notice the “thrown outs” are mostly Constitutional questions with evidence of clear violations of constitutional law/principle/rights…
So do we have a constitutional rights and constitutional laws?… and if your answer is “yes” where do you see them played out?
I do not see constitutional restrictions on government being enforced.
If you want it enforced what’s your institution and method?
Mine is now the militia.
Not the military but the militia….and the militia is us—stark difference.

Please consider inspiring others with your example and praying for those beyond your influence?
I read Lake’s lawsuit when it dropped and had no illusions that it stood more than a 50/50 chance of being dismissed outright. At the time I called it flakey and poorly written because I expected better from her team of lawyers. After reading the judges ruling it’s clear that A) Her team didn’t understand Arizona State law and B) They didn’t know the parameters required in filing under an election contest. I read Thomas’s ruling last night and as much as I’d like to see Lake win this thing, I’m with Sundance, they have one Hell of a hill to climb in order to prevail.
For those of you so inclined I’ll post a link to the court’s ruling and you can make up your own mind. If nothing else at least you’ll have better foundation for your comments.

Yes, yes, another instance of: it matters not how blatant they cheat, you have no standing, or no room under the law, cuz the law is for those who are cheating. Move on. Nothing to see.
Yeah, we get it. Us plebes….no law for you.
so our plan is to keep begging the courts. and staying on the Fence. being scared of the word J6 ( trained by the uniparty). and never considering a j6 locally across the country simulatnously brushfiring the country with protest – demanding resignations
All the undercover supporters in TRansport or whatever – may join
It isnt about pretending there is a chance to win
its about having another vehicle to make Fence Sitters Feel Fire until their butts……
We will only survive if we realize what PDJT CANT SAY – and start facilitating it…
He cant’s say – “I (PDJT) am organizing masses of people to be aware and angry and conditioned to protest locally, in preparation of the 2024 Steal – to lead the largest Peaceful Self Defending First Amendment and Second Amendment Protest Revolution ever”
“each rally location a guranteed 20,000 to 40,000 people that can protest that local corrupt government until resignations are done”

want to talk about election lawsuit losses in the future?
or do you want to prepare for a STAND OFF that you possibly can dictate the terms of resolution

Here’s an interesting historical story about electoral fraud and the exercise of the First two of the Bill of Rights…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Athens_(1946)
“Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure.”
Benjamin Disraeli
And yet if MAGA stuffed the ballot boxes the same way the uniparty does; say conservative counties with 120% voter turnout with 99.999% MAGA, it would be a crime prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
thats why Dec 2023 – Jan 2024 is the Bundy Ranch Standoff.
locally at EVERY RED GOVERNMENT and demand accountability – and protest like MLK with all amendments. legally defend yourself – and see how “just following order” stop doing that
Unfortunately …..any MAGA judge is going to follow the law “strictly”.Same…Same…We go by rules while they don’t.
Is Ms. Lake using the same old RNC lawyers who have a marvelous track record of succeeding to fail every time?
Kari Lake went o Mar a Lago and hooked up with a team of supposedly hotshot lawyers to file her lawsuit. The only name I see on the court documents is Bryan James Blehm…doesn’t ring any bells for me.
And WHY did you not insert yourself with your vast knowledge and expertise? See the problem? Lots of people willing to say “this is wrong, it will not work” and not enough people willing to contact them to tell them. Clearly since you are so familiar with Arizona state law, you probably also live in Arizona or have lived there. WHY the F*CK didn’t you take ACTION?! Why the F*CK didn’t you get involved?
Are you here just to show how smart you are OR are you here to show people you’re able but unwilling to do the work of patriots? At the moment, I’m inclined to believe what you speak is truth. That only leaves you as being a SH*TBIRD and a COWARD!
I didn’t insert myself because I have no legal expertise, no formal education and no law degree. I can however read and comprehend fairly complex matters legal or otherwise because that how my brain functions. My familiarity with Arizona state law came from reading the judge’s ruling and the citations he provided in dismissing the complaints. I thought it should be obvious to any competent lawyer versed in election contest suits that one would have to allege actual violations of the law within the narrowly defined constraints of an election contest. My gut instinct was that the suit as filed would fail primarily because they failed to cite specific allegations of misconduct. The missing chain of custody documentation is the only real violation of election law that they brought forth and hangs by a thread if they can’t prove it to the judge.
No, I don’t live in Arizona, but I wish I did because it 2 degrees outside right now in Southeast Alaska.
As for me not doing something, well right now I’m going through the voter rolls for the entire state of Alaska and compiling the names of every voter using a PO Box as their primary residence. Once I go through all 5 or 6 hundred thousand of them I’ll be send that list to the DOE, the Permanent Fund Division and the Justice department for action. I may be a brokedick old fisherman living on peanuts, but I haven’t stopped working on election issues since Nov. 3rd 2020. For a time I was the Lead Admin on the Alaska First Audit group and only left when it became obvious they didn’t actually want to do anything except pat themselves on the back or stick a knife in it.
Yeah, I’m smart, but not smart enough to pass a Mensa exam….I missed it by two points.
I suppose I could be a SH*TBIRD and a COWARD, but I kinda doubt it. I’ll leave that up to other people to decide.
So, it’s basically BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, got it Thanks! 🙄
The key problem is that it IS possible to steal an election leaving no trace behind. I heard it right here at CTH:
https://dispatchesfromheck.blogspot.com/2022/11/how-to-steal-election.html
What happened to “preponderance of the evidence”?
Clean the voter rolls.

When Hobbs is declared the “winner” of the lawsuit and thus the outcome of the 2024 “elections” (demented Uniparty – YEA!!) written in stone, the few remaining rational humans in the USA will be forced to consider the ramifications – economic and military – of a USA firmly in the hands of foreign enemies.
Or you will consider the j6 Protest LOCALLLY after the STeal
you are human with a body. Get that body involved!
They dont need your money. They need you to go to the Rallies, and you to go to the local county office nearest to you on the day of Protest.
The judge dismissed “invalid signature” claim even with affidavit witness evidence? How do you explain that?
Corruption. Friends. Payoffs. Positions in the Governor’s office.
because signature validation will require the STATe LEGISLATORs to do something – and they are in full control of the election so they dont have too..
the other things can be proven through requesting interviews and records.
a guess.
As I understand it you can contest a procedure used in the course of an election, but it has to be done BEFORE the election takes place. When filing an election contest after the election as Lake is doing here you have to show a violation of an existing procedure or statute. The two are not synonymous and the complaint has to show that distinction. Since Maricopa County entered into a contract to have the signatures scanned via computer in June or July of 2022, a suit should have been brought PRIOR to that process being used in the election. So long as Maricopa followed the election procedures as they existed prior to the election, the plaintiff can’t come back and say the it didn’t count. I’m no lawyer and I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn last night but even I can understand the difference.
I heard Kari Lake at Amfest today explaining her team’s assertion on that point.
She said the county did not follow the procedures because they used AI to determine authenticity of the signatures, and that AI is not part of the “election procedures as they existed prior to the election.”
Scanning is one thing – a human can then look at two scanned signatures side by side to match them instead of a pile of paper. But using AI to do it, with the sensitivity turned way down so that any scribble could match – is another animal entirely.
There is a fairly thick procedures manual that is to be followed for conducting the elections in Arizona, and they failed to meet the requirements or chose to circumvent them! BIG, BIG MISTAKE BY HOBBS SINCE THE MANUAL WAS DEVELOPED BY HER TEAM WHILE SHE WAS SECRETARY OF STATE! 🤔
i just re-read Count III and again the process for signature verification was well known months before the election and as such any claims should have been made then and NOT after the election.
As for prejudice, as another department of this Court indicated in dismissing another election claim, any procedural challenge post-election “ask[s] us to overturn the will of the people as expressed in the election.” Finchem v. Fontes, CV2022053927, at 5 (Maricopa Cnty. Super. Ct. Dec. 16, 2022) (quoting Sherman, 202 Ariz. at 342, ¶ 11). This is an exceedingly high degree of prejudice against both the parties and the public, which this Court is loath to excuse. Therefore, because Plaintiff was on notice (at a minimum) months before the election as to the nature of the ballot signature reconciliation process and chose not to challenge it then, her claim is barred by laches.
Look guys I’m not defending the rulings I’m just giving my personal opinions here. As far as I’m concerned Lake’s team screwed up whether by ignorance or on purpose I have no way of knowing, but it’s pretty obvious they didn’t know their *ss from a hole in the ground when it came to filing this kind of lawsuit.
“Much ado about nothing”.
Putting a Shakespearean twist on the usual despair summoning word spell reaction, ” its a nothing burger”?

The courts are the only place to get resolutions. We must beg the courts, and abide by what they say even if corruption is seen because we ARE SCARED TO PLAY OUR ROLE like MLK did in this country.
people in a state similar to Kari – could campaign explaining how corrupt our system is.
and organizing and ANGERING people from January 2023 to Nov 2023 – and in December can launch a protest locally and demand resignations FOR CORRUPTION.
Clean RED up use RED STATE to clean FED up. – the only way. pipedreams otherwise.
Why does proof of intention need to happen.
There is proof of the What, When, Where and How Republican votes were locked-out.
That alone justifies a re-vote.
Certification? People were threatened!
we didnt intent to steal an election, and get in control of the Purse and redirect it to our private kingdoms
so F off is what the Uniparty says
now your move. are we going to write ty letter for them saying F off?
Saw an interview of the lawyer Barnes by Viva Frei in which he said Arizona law only required showing the election was flawed with no requirement of intent. The judge has upped the ante considerably because intent is hard to prove.
A loss, of Arizona gubernatorial Kari Lake lawsuit or the 22-380 is a direct and very visual statement saying to the working glass your opinions or needs did not and will not matter.
You can easily see these lawsuits from the point of view of those elites by virtue of their money. If they admit to either lawsuit, then we are admitting in a very public and visible way that the working class has been mistreated, and they will demand revenge.

AZ needs a total re-vote. If the chain of custody on ballots is broken or non-existent they cannot be counted. And how are you not allowed to challenge the signature matching? Is it because there were no steps taken to validate signatures?
All besides the most egregious violation being the person certifying the vote was also a winning candidate in the election.
If truly sorry, you’ll focus on developing the self discipline. That way there will be no need to post “sorry for being negative” after being a nostradoomer kill joy.
The ones not thrown out are the ones which are unique to Arizona. I believe the basis for throwing things out this way are in error and should be the basis for appeal. That said, the remaining claims boil down to disenfranchisement. This would normally get quite far for the left. For the right? We’ll see.
This is a failure of the people of Arizona. They should have started protesting BEFORE the election once they saw the obvious conflict of interest Hobbs had in the outcome of the election and more.
Such a brave lady — God bless Kari Lake!
But democracy! But it’s a republic! Tastes great, less filling! All a crock.
We spend millions upon millions of dollars on election processes that don’t work and then we argue over the many failing mechanisms?
5th graders, given one month (with a little help) could come up with a more fair, efficient and less costly election process.
That’s the problem.PERIOD!
Fantastic news.

Just how do you think the so called elites were able to work against us for decades and get away with it? And why did people ostensibly vote every time against their own best interests? It’s simple— control the elections to get control of law enforcement and judiciary so prosecution is waived, laws are intentionally misapplied to legalize their criminal activity and stifle any dissent.
And here comes Kari Lake asking the system to turn on itself… Her team is literally trying to litigate ORGANIZED CRIMINAL ELECTION FRAUD that is aggressively protected by the establishment and is never prosecuted.
These fake elections is how the “elites” stay in power, which in turn enables them to appoint and confirm more corrupt judges who protect them from scrutiny.
But instead of recognizing that we will not be able to litigate or vote our way out of this, we seem to be mesmerized by yet another in a series of futile attempt to litigate organized election fraud in a system that is financed and fully controlled by the enemy.
