Those pants! 👀
She bad 😂
Looks painful.
We have the best pants lol
I LOVE Kari Lake and I almost always enjoy seeing a non-insane person showing a sense of personal style, but to me, those don't look like pants but more like a giant leather compression bandage.
Congratulations on your case moving forward, Kari, and best wishes for a very positive result. Sincerely.
Going to be interesting to see how they both confirm thousands of illegal ballots were counted AND certify that the election results should stand anyway.
Schrödinger's cat. Since there is no way to associate the envelopes and ballots, there is no way to equitably resolve the issue. Cases such as this are why we have, or, at least once had, Courts of Law. While a ruling for Lake would possibly disenfranchise millions of Hobbs voters, a ruling for Hobbs would possibly disenfranchise millions of Lake voters. Either way you go, there is an equal chance that millions of voters will be disenfranchised.
Returning to Schrödinger's cat. Since both the cat and the killing agent were not sealed in the same box, the experiment was invalid. In the same way. If the ballots and envelopes can’t be associated but a sufficiently large number of envelopes failing signature validation are discovered, the election was invalid. The only legal remedy is to re-run the election with adequate safeguards. Anything short of that would invite future elections with mass fraud followed by destruction of evidence as soon as the results is announced. The judge seems to be looking for a quick and easy way out when he should simply follow the law.
Except that there's nothing in the law to invalidate the election based based on these facts. Regardless of whether the signatures were valid or not, there's no way to prove that the ballots they contained were not valid, and that's what you would have to prove.
Perhaps future legislation can tighten up signature validation and reject more of these questionable envelopes, but there's nothing in the law currently that can lead a judge to throw out the entire election.
Of course, once the ballots are disassociated from the envelopes, there is no way to prove which go together. If that were the only thing at issue, there would be no basis for the court to allow the case to proceed.
There seems to be a greater issue here than the individual ballots. Under the Equal Protection clause of the constitution, the voters as a whole are entitled to a fair and equal process. It should be relatively simple to show that this one county used a much more lenient standard of verification than used in the past as well as that used in other jurisdictions. In addition, under the Common Law, a finding of fraud of a substantial nature, would require invalidation of the election regardless of other factors. Fraud could be established by showing election officials conspired to lower or ignore the standard knowing it would result in invalid ballots being counted.
I have to believe that Mrs. Lake and her attorneys are in this for the long haul and are not attaching their hopes on this Judge. The case will likely end up in the U S Supreme Court.
Kari is fighting like it's 1917. On December 22, 1917, The Arizona Supreme Court ruled unanimously in his favor by declaring that W.P. Hunt had won by 43 votes and overurned the result of the Governor of Arizona election after Thomas E. Campbell had earlier been declared the winner and sworn in as governor on January 1, 1917.
Bring these commies to justice!
I love how they always put failed in there. I hope she wins this and everybody has to retract their failed gubernatorial candidate BS
Big F failed candidate. Fuck you newssqueak.
Kari is my Gov’nuh!
I live in Arizona... this is click bait.
The ruling in this case is crushing for Lake.
Look up her burden of proof... it makes Mt Everest look like an ant hill.
Her lawyers are already appealing, begging for better terms to go to trial.
