Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) has been certified as the winner of the governor’s race against Kari Lake (R) in Arizona. That happened after Hobbs threatened criminal penalties against all the county clerks who were unwilling to initially certify an election in her favor, despite it being riddled with problems.
I’m old enough that I can remember when “certifying an election” meant that the people in charge of the election had full assurance that the results were for real. But apparently, certification now means that you coerce and threaten your opponents into submission before anyone looks too closely at the results. Fortunately, this one is not over yet.
Kari Lake has refused to concede the election and she has filed a 70-page lawsuit against Katie Hobbs, both as a contestant and as the person running the election. The suit also names the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors and the Maricopa County Director of Elections. Since that lawsuit was filed, we’ve learned that Katie Hobbs was also outed in one of Elon Musk’s early drops of Twitter Files. In her official capacity as Arizona Secretary of State (and as a Democrat), Katie Hobbs censored political opinions on Twitter that she didn’t like.
That’s no exaggeration. She’s one of the elected public figures who personally violated the First Amendment of her political opponents. She used her official capacity as a government official to go to Twitter and say, “Censor those people.” Unfortunately, she won’t be kicked out of office forever because of that. The Arizona legislature doesn’t have the spine to take action like that.
But here’s an interesting fact: Kari Lake’s lawsuit against Hobbs has not been thrown out for “lack of standing.” That happened instantly with every Trump lawsuit in the wake of the 2020 stolen election. The court seems to be entertaining her suit at this point.
So, what’s in the lawsuit?
First of all, 72% of voters including many Democrats revealed that they believed Arizona election deprived many thousands of people of their right to vote. That was from a Rasmussen survey in the wake of the disastrous November 8 contest. A clear majority of voters think it was not on the up-and-up.
Back to my earlier comments about “certification.” Certifying an election means that the public can and should have trust in the fact that the results were accurate. Yet 72% of all surveyed voters, including Democrats, think the results were fake. That election was uncertifiable.
Lake’s suit notes that 59% of all the tabulators and ballot printers in Maricopa County failed on Election Day. Voters were not allowed extra time and the polls were not kept open late to accommodate them. We don’t know how many people were denied the right to vote and disenfranchised because of that, but it had to be more than Katie Hobbs’ slender 17,117-vote “victory.”
59% of the county’s machines in 223 precincts did not “fail” on accident on Election Day. Not after all the machines were certified the day before the election. Even if that were true (which no one believes), that alone is reason to hold a do-over election. Especially after the county lied and said that it only happened in 30% of precincts. “Oopsie! We can’t even count the machines that failed but trust us when it comes to counting millions of ballots!”
That lawsuit notes that when counting was paused on election night and then dragged out for a week after the election, they “found” 25,000 additional votes that hadn’t been counted yet. What a coincidence! And it always seems to benefit candidates in one direction, doesn’t it?
Some mystery company called Runbeck Election Services in Maricopa County, according to the suit, was for some reason a drop-off point for early voting ballots that were mailed in or picked up from the Zuckerberg drop boxes. A whistleblower from Runbeck has told Kari Lake’s campaign that there is no chain of custody on 298,942 early voting ballots that the company received. That’s another instance that makes the election completely uncertifiable. Where did those 298K ballots come from? Mars? Actually, maybe they did, but we’ll never know because there is no chain of custody documentation for them as required by law.
Kari Lake’s lawsuit matters to an incredibly significant level. If she wins, and they end up having a do-over election in Arizona, she will work as governor to change the election laws so that it’s “easy to vote and hard to cheat” in future elections. And that needs to happen for the Trump campaign to prevail in 2024 in Arizona.
Kari is helping to prove
what most everyone knows, but sadly, officials have been in denial, threatened, or so corrupt that there is no salvaging
them. It’s hard to believe that our country has fallen so far in two years.
Actually started in the 60’s when the Premier of the Soviet Union said: “we will take you over without firing a shot”! They began to infiltrate the media ( NY Times has always been left leaning) and our schools. A poll last year of 2,350 full or part-time faculty at Harvard found only 7 who identified as conservative. We have generations indoctrinated in Marxism. With that support you start to move people into elected office, often posing as moderate, or even running as Republican. They believe the end justifies the means, so stealing elections is only bad if you get caught. Then you deny it over and over.
It has and the only answer is to start jailing democrat traitors starting with Biden and Harris!
I fully agree with you BUT our Party is suspect of RINOISM at a level most cannot comprehend and the present doings in the Senate by the “retiring” RINOS voting with Democrats to take away the first year of the Newley elected majority Republican House handling of the purse to stop the runaway spending of the Dem’s and especially NOT FUND THE IRS hiring all those new Agents is egregious and traitorous !
Cheyenne, what you do not understand is this vote theft has been gong on far longer than most people realize. I believe we have been under this threat for decades, as far back as the 1950s. The first real election win was Reagan in which overwhelmed the system with voters. Trump did the same thing in both 2016, and 2020. The deep state had the fix ready for 2020. and 2022, to counter the overwhelming numbers of GOP voters.
Yes very true they figured out that if they had a reason to close down the Country they could perfect their fraudulent elections!
I live in Az and I totally agree with Kari. This was a fraud from day one. Hobbs should not be in that office. They perfected their fraud in two elections now. How many more are they going to get away with?????
I concur!
Yes Preston, I am aware of what you reminded us of. I suppose I feel everything that is, and can go bad has done so in such an obvious way over the last two years that it is amplified to an intolerable level today.
Until someone or somebody goes to jail like all the Trump people do it is going to keep happening. Thanks REPUBLICANS with no backbone. Democrats carried it out and they didn’t have the WH,SENATE, or the CONGRESS. Talk is cheap.
Hard to do anything with a one party system for the last 2 years!
Kari Lake is awesome. She would make a great VP
She really is, she has backbone and she’s a fighter!
Kari will win in the courts. If they are not corrupted. Which they probably are. I see only a fight coming for freedom again in our country. I loved what Trump is running on. He kept his promises the last time. That’s the only way to fix our country. The people behind the destruction must be known.
When Kari wins this it will also flip the 2020 election for President, because they repeated what they did in 2020. Az. has a bunch in office now that belong in prison for a long time and that is what these EVIL lying people deserve.
Good luck to Kari and God Bless her!
Exactly!
I pray for our country everyday. It is going to take a lot of praying to change what’s wrong in this country! The Democratic party is the anti- God party, the war mongers and the party of hate and separation! They have fooled so many of our young people and destroyed so much that was good in our country. They are not the party that they used to be. I only pray that good people from all walks of life will stand up and realize what’s happening! God Bless America!
I also pray daily for this and my prayers are always answered in time!
I wholly agree!
God help this country, for we are being hijacked and destroyed from the inside out! The Democrats and the RINO plants, like Romney, Murkalsky, Collins, Mitchell and many more are in our political system to take this country down from the inside! If we don’t take a stand against these evil ones, we are doomed! Wake up !
The fact that demorats are crooks was established decades ago, Az is but a mirror reflection of the US Congress. RINOs are even more despicable in their collusion with the demorats since the republican voters took them in good faith and were played for suckers. Hobbs and her cadre of felons sold out the voters with trickery. McConnell and McCarthy sold out the country through lies and trickery. Lake and company should be able to overturn the Az elections and I’m praying the SCOTUS will jerk the rug out from under these fraudsters in Congress and the Executive branches as well.
Time has come to take back our Country!!!!!
Thank you Almighty Father for answering our prayers in exposing all of this deceit, evil and corruption. I pray further that your Army of Angels will now see to it that Justice will be fully served and that this Great Nation will return to being One Nation Under God!!!
Cheat, Cheat, Cheat!
Fix AZ election fraud!
If what is being alleged about Katie Hobbs is true, she deserves jail time.
Anthony Evers has not taken 1 action since being emperor over the people of Wisconsin since he was first coronated in January of 2019 and even those who like to consider themselves patriotic thus rationally thinking people allow their opinions to be effected by the opinions conveyed by those within the Lamestream media.
Both Evers campaign team and the media ran a smear operation against Tim Michels pertaining to charges against his company of sexual harassment charges that Tim and other men involved in the case were exonerated of.
You know what the 10 to 12 southern most counties of Wisconsin are, enlightenment all part of the Insane Asylum that is the Chicago MSA.
