I hope she has really damn good evidence. Losing a trial on the merits will be a huge blow to further election litigation across the country. No judge is going to entertain a case again if this one is a dud.
I wouldn’t be worried if this was on a normal trial timeline. But this is super fast without opportunity to do detailed inspections of equipment and conduct depositions. I don’t know how you rebut the presumption in favor of the validity of the election on this short time line. Let alone with little to no investigation.
If I recall from last week, they have 217 points of fraud, malfeasance, and impropriety, with hard evidence to back up each point. I think it’s gonna be a blood bath.
All they get to present are on the counts regarding the printer issues and the chain of custody. Although chain of custody alone ought to invalidate the entire election, I can tell you with certainty that without proof rising much higher beyond the speculative level, no judge is going to want to throw out the election on this basis. Even though the statutes must be strictly complied with.
There is no “fraud” being tried. And Lake’s lawyers disclaimed they were arguing it. Because fraud has to be pled with particularity - who what when where why. There was none of that in the 70 page complaint. Nor could there reasonably be when the evidence of it is in possession of the defendants. Doesn’t change the standard.
The printer issue looks like its coming down to an expert’s testimony. But if they have not examined the machine, it is not going to be very persuasive. Even if correct.
This is what I mean about the shortened timeline being complete bs and a very difficult hurdle to navigate. I am hoping it is possible. A bad outcome will hang around for a long time.

Ya I saw that. If that is the best she's got, its a problem. No judge is going to abide by the law and throw out hundreds of thousands of ballots without some kind of evidence that they were unlawfully cast on some other basis besides lack of chain of custody. They should throw them out for that. But they won't because it will be viewed as some miniscule technical violation. Even though the statutes must be strictly complied with. Hopefully, the attorney(s) tell the judge that he would not be disenfranchising anyone in such a case. The people who disenfranchised lawful voters are the asshats that failed to maintain required chain of custody documents that are for purposes of securing the election.
There needs to be proof of a number of votes injected in this manner that are not real voters casting real votes which exceed the margin of victory. If she can demonstrate that, she's golden. If not, be prepared for a judge to find that this was violated but wouldn't be willing to do anything about it without more.
I hope she does too. The other side appear well prepared to provide excuses.
