A judge on Saturday dismissed Republican Kari Lake’s election challenge two days after a trial in which he said Lake failed to prove her case.
"If we don't have honest elections where we decide who represents us, then we don't have a country anymore" said Kari Lake on Dec. 22, 2022.A judge on Saturday dismissed Republican Kari Lake’s election challenge and affirmed Democrat Katie Hobbs’ election as governor two days after a trial in which he said Lake failed to prove her case.
"Not perfectly,” Thompson continued,"as no system on this earth is perfect, but more than sufficient to comply with the law and conduct a valid election." Lake’s campaign was steeped in Trump’s world of election conspiracy theories and false claims. She urged voters to avoid using the mail or election drop boxes, casting unwarranted suspicion on such methods as Trump and his followers have since 2020.
Lake and her husband, video expert Jeff Halperin, attended both days of the trial with a small entourage of supporters. She criticized The Arizona Republic but refused to answer questions inside or outside of the courtroom. She was trailed by far-right media figures including local Gateway Pundit reporter Jordan Conradson who sat in the courtroom benches on Mike Lindell pillows.
“This, at a minimum, means that the actual impact element of could not be proven,” Judge Thompson ruled. “The T-Techs he worked with diligently and expeditiously trouble-shot each problem as they arose, and they did so in a frenetic Election Day environment,” Thompson wrote. Maricopa County “takes responsibility for errors that occur in every election,” deputy county attorney Tom Liddy told the court in his closing statements. But he accused Kari Lake’s campaign of causing the real harm to Republican voters, saying that advising voters not to put their ballots in Door Three after being advised to do so by election officials was “not on Maricopa County.”
