First, the main evidence, as I understand it, required the court to conclude that something nefarious happened by inference. Her claim was the ballots must have been cleared with malice because the pace was too fast. That’s a tough case to prove.
The judge was probably feeling a lot like a cartel boss might hang him headless from an overpass if he did the right thing. Sure, that suggests judicial cowardice but most would succumb to that kind of threat. Courage is rare in our society.
But my main takeaway is the same as it was when she was screwed the first time: Kari Lake as a screaming Valkyrie for justice is probably more powerful in an information war than Kari Lake the Governor of Arizona.
Her voice is piercing and fearless.
Would I rather have seen her win? Sure. Would the best outcome for the information war be the same as her winning? I’m not so sure.

This is true but ANY judge that does not have the gumption to do the right thing doesnt deserve to be there...when will all the corruption stop...(shaking head) this sucks
Righteous judge is an oxymoron in the current world, fren.
On the bright side, she can appeal to a higher court. I too was dejected by the ruling. This idiot judge gave her an impossible standard to overcome. Had he told her she had to show a high percentage of machine failures in republican counties, she would have easily won. Democrats cheat, lie, and steal!
She will appeal to the US supreme court and they will decline to hear the case. SCOTUS has no guts either.
My house was not totally clean yesterday.
From Covid and Coffee (he's a lawyer)- "We have not yet heard from Lake’s group, except for a tweet saying they’d be making a big announcement today. Kari has previously sworn that, if she lost, she’d appeal to the Arizona Supreme Court.
This result is predictable, even expected. When I filed my mask lawsuit against the county in 2020, I knew that it would be almost impossible that the trial judge would take on the political burden of becoming the country’s first anti-mask judge. She gave me all I could really hope for: a fairly-conducted hearing, a quick, appealable order, and she let me create the record I needed for the inevitable appeal.
Had anyone from Kari’s team asked me, I would’ve predicted the same thing for her trial. They needed to be getting all the necessary evidence into the record, but planning for the inevitable appeal. It looks like the judge did let them get the evidence in, which is a great blessing. In other words, the judge kept his hands clean, but passed the decision buck up the line — where it would’ve inevitably gone anyway.
It’s too simplistic to say the judge should’ve been courageous and ruled for Kari no matter what. His decision would’ve only carried symbolic weight, and why potentially ruin your career to make a symbol? It’s not irrational that a judge could’ve concluded it was better to help by conducting a fair trial, getting everything in the record, and letting the plaintiff take it up to the appellate court, as opposed to the defendant.
It’s true that in most cases it’s better to win at the trial level, because it is vastly easier to defend an appeal than try to get a reversal. But that calculus goes out the window in politically-charged cases like this. Believe me. This case was always going to be decided by Arizona’s Supreme Court, one way or the other, regardless of what happened at trial."

Speaking as a person that lives in Arizona, I couldn’t disagree with you more. Katie Hobbs is our governor is a complete disaster. If Carrie was our Governor, she would be doing something about the border. That would have an overall effect on the information war, as we would not be getting as many illegals which will be voting in our next election. Elections have consequences, and our state is suffering. Arizona is not a blue state, it never has been, and it never will be. This entire election cycle for the last four years has been fabricated. I for one am tired of it, I’m tired of having my vote stolen. What’s the point of voting, if it doesn’t count? This is where we’re at now. Because I don’t wanna vote anymore. And that’s not a good thing. So how is that information more helping us? I’m infuriated by this process, and I’ll say it over and over again. If the white hats are in control… They’re doing a shitty job. This entire state of Republicans has been disenfranchised, and it sucks. It sucks big-time.
My only hope is that things will get worse, and Jesus will return soon. To be honest, I am starting to get a little bit excited that things are going downhill more rapidly. Because it just means Christ is coming. And my vote won’t matter anymore. All that will matter is that I can stand before Christ as a Christian and how his blood covers me and my sins. In the grand scheme of things, votes won’t matter in heaven.
I live in AZ too - and I feel the pain. But this really triggered something in my mind. As horrible as this is, it pushes us. It pushes Kari Lake further. It pushes every Arizonan into places they never wanted to go, to examine and wake up and take action. This might be necessary. And of course, suffering is what brings us all closer to Christ. Suffering is needed. We have no idea when Christ is coming, and God doesn't want us to sit around like idiots with a rapture death wish. Our duty is to fight for what is right like Elijahs until the end.
The Justice system is compromised. Military is the only way.
And every corrupt person should hang
No judge will honestly deal with this for two reasons: 1. they are corrupt 2. if they were to actually do the right thing someone they love (or themselves) will have an "accident". And that includes the supreme court.
America is occupied, captured from within. The things [they] do everyday is to shove it in our faces with the goal of making us give up, turn apathetic. It's the only way they can beat us.
AHHHH... True Enlightenment ALWAYS comes from the inside...and purkiss80...you bring a 500MW light to the party!!!!
This: "Kari Lake as a screaming Valkyrie for justice is probably more powerful in an information war than Kari Lake the Governor of Arizona." is really profound.
I watched Kari Lake's recent trial! Her lawyers presented irrefutable evidence. That judge is definitely compromised. The defense attys for Hobbs argued that if the judge rules for Lake it would be removing a duly elected governor! That's ludicrous as we know Hobbs would not have been elected due to Maricopa Cty not following their own law(s)! That it would be removing a fraudulent winner! And, on the days just following all those 297,000 unverified signature ballots!
Hobbs & Maricopa Cty are by far an organized crime operation; the whole states' elected individuals are in on the cartel, judges included!
Hopefully the recent ruling on using no machines will somewhat tamper down the election fraud in AZ!
I hope Kari Lake appeals to a higher court within her state!
