Following the filing of a lawsuit alleging anomalies in the impending 2022 election, Kari Lake’s case was given expedited review by the Arizona Court of Appeals. Could this signal the beginning of some urgent reform?
The court has decided to postpone a special action petition that was due in March of this year until February of next year, which is extraordinary. They issued their brief order on January 9th, and in response to Lake’s arguments, the court agreed to treat her challenge as such on January 10th. In its current state, future procedures will have been delayed by more than a year from the initial mark date.

Republican Latham Lake, who has petitioned the state’s Appeals Court and Supreme Court to reject her claim, is suing Governor Hobbs. There are only a few weeks left before Gov. Hobbs’ attorneys must submit their argument by January 17th! As Governor Hobbs rushes to defend her stance in court after it was rejected at trial back in December, this case gets increasingly closer to its conclusion.
Lake’s petition to move an election lawsuit straight before the Arizona Supreme Court was denied, and the court instead determined that the Appeals Court will consider the case first. This decision was a significant blow for Lake’s political aspirations.
Former television journalist Lake filed a lawsuit in court, arguing that Maricopa County’s improper handling of the election could have affected the result. In her complaint against high-ranking officials, Lake claimed that major voting irregularities and disenfranchisement prevented her and other voters from participating in the election. Despite these claims, Lake was ultimately defeated by a margin of 17 000 votes.
Judge Peter Thompson issued a verdict on Christmas Eve 2020 that ended Lake’s election complaint after he had already rejected 8 of the 10 electoral arguments she had presented. Harrington was relieved that no severe penalties or fines were issued in her court case, nevertheless.
In her case, Lake claimed that if numerous Maricopa County ballot printers had been operating at peak efficiency on election day, she would have had a much better chance of winning. Unfortunately for both the candidate and the voters, Bill Gates (Maricopa Supervisor) & Richer revealed how some voting machines produced ballots that were difficult for tabulators to understand. They advised individuals impacted to cast their ballots elsewhere as quickly as possible or to drop them off.
Maricopa County has recruited renowned former Chief Justice of the Arizona Supreme Court Ruth McGregor to conduct an impartial inquiry and present her findings in order to find out why ballot printers malfunctioned during the November election. County supervisors are sure that she will determine what went wrong with their voting systems because of her legal skills and decades of public service experience, assuring a successful electoral process moving forward.
Republican voters had a disadvantage on Election Day because tens of thousands of ballots were apparently rejected due to misconfigured ballots that were purportedly found in important precincts, according to Lake’s legal team. Officials from Maricopa initially denied any wrongdoing, but later admitted that the reason for this voting discrepancy was the use of illegitimate ballots.
Richard Baris, an independent pollster, provided his professional judgment during Lake’s two-day trial. According to Mr. Baris’ testimony, he has concluded that a sizable number of Maricopa voters were unfairly denied the opportunity to participate in the election on election day because of technical problems; this affected an estimated 25k–40k people and ultimately caused the results to deviate from their predicted Republican trend.
When it came to the midterm elections, Baris told the court that his exit polls’ accuracy had been compromised since many respondents abruptly stopped before finishing them.
Hobbs First Address
In a happy ceremony earlier this month, Arizona welcomed its new Governor Hobbs, who didn’t spare any time on speaking out in favor of her constituents. She delivered a forceful speech on Monday in which she emphasized the glaring differences between herself and some Republican senators.
“Chasing conspiracy theories, pushing agendas for special interests, attacking the rights of your fellow Arizonans or seeking to further undermine our democracy will lead nowhere,” Hobbs said.
Two Democrats unexpectedly defeated Republican challengers in state-level elections for the positions of attorney general and secretary of state this month. Particularly impressive was the razor-thin margin of victory for Kris Mayes, who defeated her opponent by just 280 votes! Despite the post-election legal challenges from their respective opponents, Adrian Fontes and Ms. Mayes have both been sworn into office.
Hundreds of ballots were found in Pinal County on January 6, according to Abe Hamadeh, the Republican candidate running against Attorney General Mark Mayes in the Nov. 8 election. This sparked a heated legal dispute over Arizona’s top law enforcement position.
“We simply ask that we be given the opportunity to apply the Pinal County process across the board to conduct a physical inspection and hand count of ballots that if the Pinal County issue repeats itself anywhere else in the state could be outcome determinative in this election,” Hamadeh wrote on Twitter.
Will there be justice or another travesty?
Dead voters have dad their votes counted for many generations in the ci of Colma, San Mateo, California. It’s not logical to disbelieve that is not happening in most states and cities where corrupt politicians never want to give up power or allow voting to be fair.
