A judge has thrown out Republican Kari Lake’s challenge of her defeat in the Arizona governor’s race to Democrat Katie Hobbs, rejecting her claim that problems with ballot printers at some polling places were the result of intentional misconduct.

“But this Court’s duty is not solely to incline an ear to public outcry,” the judge continued. “It is to subject Plaintiff’s claims and Defendants’ actions to the light of the courtroom and scrutiny of the law.”

County officials say everyone had a chance to vote and all ballots were counted, since ballots affected by the printers were taken to more sophisticated counters at the elections department headquarters. They are in the process of investigating the root cause of the printer problems.Lake’s attorneys also claimed the chain of custody for ballots was broken at an off-site facility, where a contractor scans mail ballots to prepare them for processing.

Her attorneys pointed to a witness who examined ballots on behalf of her campaign and discovered 14 ballots that had 19-inch images of the ballot printed on 20-inch paper, meaning the ballots wouldn’t be read by a tabulator. The witness insisted someone changed those printer configurations, a claim disputed by elections officials.

It appears one can interfere with an election, have the interference validated and quantified to where true outcome of election is unknown, and yet the election stands if the interference isn’t proven deliberate?

Disgusting. Kari won.

She lost…………….again and every time she whines she loses again.

SBSarizona She needs to leave the state already…

Was there ever a question about the outcome, everything is rigged

Can we please stop publicizing her and let her move quietly to Florida?

A maricopa county judge threw it out , she has a better chance at the state level where everythings not still rigged

Thank you Mail in ballot without verification of signatures and voting machines and bad Judge pointed by democrats.

This feels like slanted coverage to me. When a case is dismissed, you can say it was “thrown out.” KariLake’s case went to trial. There was no jury. A judge rejected the county’s motion to dismiss, but ultimately ruled against her. It wasn’t “some” polling stations, it was 59%.

The losses pile up for karilake

Trump -Lake 2024

Crooked Judge bought and paid for by the DNC. This will be repealed

I think Americans are sick and tired of apparent voter fraud and those corrupt getting away with it.

Looooooooseerrrrrrrrrr

get a job...

She is a loser again again again again again again.

She got ripped off!!!!!!

You can not have a legal election result using illegal 19ins ballots. You can not duplicate an illegal ballot.

This one is going to the Supreme Court

How can this be comforting to the people of Arizona? If I lived there I would be furious, facts are that there was irregularities and broken chain of custody of ballots. How can you trust an election after that?

The GOP house of shambles. Where does Kari Lake get her information that nobody else ever gets or sees? Ballot printers, voting machines and mail in ballots, who tells them about these errors? Is it Mike Lindell, Rudy Giuliani or Donald J. Trump? Do we see a pattern of lies?

What a Loser As an Arizona Republican election denier, Kari Lake denied the 2020 US presidential race loss & her 2022 Arizona governor's race loss, now, loses state court appeal. With appeal, she expects SCOTUS to give her the Arizona governor's race over the will of the voters?

It's hysterical that you guys keep covering/headlining narcissistic figures like these, as if they really believe they won or were cheated (they don't). Keep giving them attention....what could go wrong?

So much AP leaves out. What a shock.

Get a life Lake!

about time the US to follow the democratic principles

StoriesTweet Kari Lake is such a pathetic loser. Such like the 45th. They feel they are above law. KariLake magamoron

If you live in AZ hang on you are in for a rude awaking and a crap show. I live in Calif and have watched it go from Red to Blue and this is like a 3rd world county here. They say the cartels were involved with ur election and Hobbs will turn her blind eye. Dirty pool.

Intentional? That means you would have to have been inside the mind of that person or persons to determine if it was intentional. BS. You can't. In a court of law, it's considered 'knowing the operation of one's mind' immediately dismissed unless there's an expert witness.

Outta here with your BS.

I'm not sure but for some reason I'm betting she's not married or attached to anyone! If she is I'd offer my condolences, but then again if they were dumb enough to get with her they deserve what they got!

Go away

FBI INTERFERED IN GEORGIA! WAKE UP THOMPSOM YOU WEAKDICK!

And it’s time to throw out Kari Lake as well. She’s trash and knows it.

I can't stand her. KariLakeLost

All the evidence was presented everything showed positive everything should I come out in the wash where Kari lake would’ve one share of one but it didn’t because of the corrupt Ness and the anarchy that’s going on around us

Duh! Lake is a LOSER like Trump. Thankfully. Voters can take pride.

The list of violations was much longer and proven. So much for 'justice.'

Time for KariLake to move on.

America is a sham. It's an oligarchy.

Dems don't care about evidence.

right in your face. they will do what they want right in your face.

LOL

Judge got the call. His Epstein photos must have came up.

womp womp

Why do people enter into elections and the when they are the certified loser , they cry I’m the winner. Don’t run for office if you don’t want to listen to the voters . Just Krazy

Cheater ☝️☝️☝️☝️🤣🤣😅🤦🏽🤦🏽 u lost lady! Admit it or take it ur grave!

Sad day for AZ. We just have way too many challenges and criticisms of our failed voting process here. Not to mention the ridiculous time it takes to tally the votes. Seems like all the cavalier excuses of AZ managers and dem elected officials get to keep on messing up.

The winner is Katie Hobbs* * Asterisk signals footnote that Katie may have cheated.

No matter how this turns out, Lake's fight, and J6, is a landmark with the GOP saying we won't go quietly into the night any more and let the Dems steal elections. No more the GOP turning the other cheek and spouting homilies to justify thievery

Merry Christmas

Good. Please go away Kari. Please?

Finally common sense is prevailing.

Wonderful Democracy

snband4 Born LOSERS cannot concede or accept any loss. They lie/deny/run from it, so they never learn from loss and are doomed to be losers. And liars. Born WINNERS like Biden lean into life’s loses, sensing grace— a chance to build integrity and to grow a bigger better heart.

Gives further credence to How the GOP weaponized ignorance

Another whining loser

Clock struck midnight for the Kari Lake circus.

'A judge has thrown out Republican Kari Lake'. Should've ended the headline there CNN .

Of course the Judge threw it out. She is 🦇💩 crazy!

She is the real life Evil Lynn!

LOL this was expected, she had no standing.

But did she get to grift any money from her constituents before throwing in the towel like a true grifter? Capitalism baby, ripe with scams everywhere if you are gullible and enraged enough to fall for them!

Bahahahaha! Best news all day.

Republicans are good at losing, bit are not good losers. 😭😭😭

Kari who?

YET vp harris accounced that lake won the election, and as WE observed on NEWS went to arizona to put skimmers in machines, in order for herself to edit the audit of the election. bbc VaticanNews

When one door closes, a better one opens! “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”” Joshua 1:9 NKJV

Okay it’s time to be President now!

JoeTrippi Please see Lake next on the trash heap of history. God damn sore maga loser.

Silly rabbit, Democrats own this country!

Thanks Karen. Now, go away…!!!

Looooooser!

here is my take on the situation: 1) stop using the courts; 2) Trump and his supporters set-up a whistleblower fund of $100 million to payout for information leading the any voter fraud or ballot manipulation; 3) Trump and his investors pony up money and buy Dominion Voting.

Dirty judge!!

Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson, who was appointed by then-Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, found that the court did not find clear and convincing evidence of the widespread misconduct that Lake had alleged had affected the result of the 2022 general election. FakeLake lies

It’s the establishments world

For the last time…

Supreme Court next

Future of voting will look something like this. You register to vote and receive a voter profile. When voting day comes around, you sign in online and vote. All voters are accounted for, your identity can only be verified by secure 3rd party with access to the library register.

Trump set the precedence, lose an election then whine and whine and whine then sue because you really wanted to win so you should be given the win. We need laws to control this crap so it doesn't continue. You wanna sue and you have ZERO evidence of maleficence then you pay.

Arizona has been taken over like California.

Love all these fake Christians wearing the cross, reminds me of the Mike pillow guy.

Thank goodness we still have a system that, at times, can repel the relentless march of Republican grifters like Kari Lake and her sugar daddy Donald. You need *proof* in a courthouse, not Alex Jones talking points and emails asking for more money.

Corrupt judiciary sistem. We need help.

I’m assuming the court had huge pressure not to set precedent.

How can it not be intentional when the issues were also there, the previous election, and never fixed?

Let's hope she stays gone after this. Somehow I doubt she will...

That’s it, right? She can now climb back on her broom and fly away? Mike Lindell says claims he fronted her legal costs, so perhaps he’ll give her a job making pillows.

Just to think she was a news anchor. Sad.

KariLake Meeeeeerrrrrryyyyyy Christmas! Coal in your stocking arrived early! 😂🤣

Merry Christmas Arizona!!! The loser lost yet again!!

🤣

Course he did. He doesn't want to get involved. I sometimes just want to see the left, and the Dems, destroy the US, just for a laugh.

How sad. Threatened?

Biased Judge throws out the challenge. Please correct the AP headline.

.KariLake happy holidays bitch

Arizona LAKE Kari is a carbon of GOP Trump & should be charged accordingly...

Merry Christmas KariLake, have an L!

👏

Incoming BS from her..

At least we know the truth there was cheating

Losing this much doesn't come naturally, you have to actually work at it. Now that she's had a taste, she wants more!

Merry Christmas to Ms. Lake

Incoming press conference about how the courts have a part in the 'election interference' against her. Disgusting woman.

Kari Lake will never win any election related lawsuits in court!

Who could’ve foreseen this

Kari Lake is really good at losing!

Always suspicious when judges throw out the case before letting the evidence be heard. Same thing happened in the presidential election. They could have allowed the evidence to be shown but instead they shut it down.

RA_PaulHughes So apparently there’s no recourse for utter incompetence, only willful malice

MAGA cult members will have a field day with this one The more facts they are getting, the more they see it as fraud proof Do theses politicians know that they are damaging the democratic system? They do...They just dont care

You intentionally titled this tweet.

Thank God for the appeal and SC!

Was she a good journalist? It seems a little too much to believe that Miss Lake is a fully functioning individual!🤔

Finally some sanity

Let me fix it.....Lake loses sham election lawsuit....Fixed?

Bye!!!

Wasn't much doubt that Kari Lakes election overturn effort would fail. Time and again, these attempt to subvert democratic process are rejected by Courts for lacking evidence, being frivolous, without merit or standing. All it proves is the sheer incompetence of the Right

Got to keep that money rolling in. Send Kari some more of your cash, rubes! This is her job now, got to keep Queen Kari on her MAGA throne!

Of course it was intentional misconduct. It benefited Democrats.

Im so shocked that she was full of shit...wait. no I'm not.

twice loser

goldbearex Kari is drowning of a Lake of her own tears for being such a loser.

She's gonna appeal all the way to the Supreme Court 🤣😂

Truth will prevail. It may not come as we desire, but as the universe sees fit. Yet it prevails.

I'm sure she'll honor the decision and accept it.

Common Kari Lake L

You hate to see it.

Just like her hero trump

No judge is ever going to rule against election procedures ever, no matter which party is complaining.

Was Katie Hobbs the judge?

Good, now that witch can hop on her 🧹 and go the fawk away for good.

Judge tosses Kari Lake's election challenge in Arizona governor's raceA judge on Saturday dismissed Republican Kari Lake’s election challenge two days after a trial in which he said Lake failed to prove her case. Sad day when Maricopa can't even follow the laws that they made. I figured once chain of custody was breeched it nulls validity. I believe this opens the flood gate to future election mishaps and with no consequence. This happened because her flock didn't donate enough money to her 'stop the steal' campaign...😆😆 damn Merry Christmas

Arizona lawyers: Kari Lake election loss lawsuit lacks meritPHOENIX (AP) — Republican Kari Lake didn’t offer evidence to back her claims of widespread, intentional misconduct on Election Day at her two-day trial challenging her loss to Democrat Katie Hobbs in Arizona governor’s race, lawyers for the state said Thursday. Difficult to offer something you don't have and doesn't exist. You don't say They stole it. They know they stole it. And they know there's not a damn thing Kari Lake can do about it. Open theft.

In a world of uncertainty, I know I can always count on to serve up a story in a manner pleasing to their left-leaning overlords. I listened to 2 days worth of court proceedings and the testimonies were damning and highly revealing. Good thing I don’t rely on ksat Interesting. Not really, what a loser. Lol lacks merit? They had evidence that over 40% of the voting polls that they tested showed they printed invalid ballots. doesn’t report actual news anymore..
