Kari Lake's team couldn't come up with a single witness who saw tampering actually happen, leaving all evidence circumstantial, and you know how courts feel about circumstantial evidence. You can and maybe should fight for there to be less strict rules for what counts as what strength of evidence, but the judge did nothing judicially unusual. And centuries of American legal precedent rely on judges not going with their gut.
You aren't going to get someone who put decades of their own life into studying the great marble edifice that is our legal system and working for it to throw that away for 1200 ballots that were counted.
No, but you need evidence, and they didn't have that. They had 1200 ballots that were counted a few hours later than intended, with nothing to contradict the State's narrative of error. Witnesses are a great way to overcome a lack of hard, physical, data-driven evidence. And lie-detector tests are iffy and very seldom used, so... Lake failing to come up with a witness willing to say what needs to be said to move the process along is on Lake's legal team.
Y'all should be focusing on removing scanners entirely, instead of getting tricked into throwing money into a legal pit. In the Southwest. Again.
Maybe you didn't hear the part about 298,000 ballots with no chain of custody.
And the defense tried to claim it was fine because they have "other safeguards" that allow them to ignore a lack of signature and maintain legal chain of custody.
So they just changed the rules to allow themselves to cheat and then claim it's not cheating because they changed the rules.
Well they didn't change the rules, aka the law, properly. Only the legislature may do that. If the law doesn't allow for acceptance of chain of custody without a physical signature, and they went ahead and did so anyway, that's illegal.
So the judge made a bad call. That's why there's an appeal process.
Crooked judge. Getting weary of these traitors.
How would you choose between millions of dollars or having your family murdered?
We cannot be surprised by these rulings.
The judge did not want to kill himself

You don’t have to have witnesses for something to be proven. Quit buying into the BS they are selling.

Yeah totally on the up and up.
As long as they changed the rules properly, yes. That's how the legal system works. Sorry you thought justice was involved?
