Karen Lake demands to speak to the election manager.

Cuddles said:
My fear is redhat judges (not this case necessarily; dunno affiliation of judge) just want to destroy MAGA for not playing ball and they'd be more than happy siding w/cons if they were more DeSantian.

Dont know how many but probably the case with many of the judges as the judges are McConnell's not Trumps.Trump didn't know these judges he just nominated who the establishment told him to.
 
Kari Lake election lawsuit: Sanctions denied, but more than $33K awarded to Katie Hobbs
https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/motions-for-sanctions-filed-against-kari-lake-in-maricopa-county

Maricopa County judge has denied Secretary of State Katie Hobbs' request to sanction Republican Kari Lake and her attorneys for their lawsuit contesting the 2022 election results, but has awarded thousands of dollars in court fees to the governor-elect.

On Dec. 27, Judge Peter Thompson ruled that Kari Lake would be ordered to pay the following to Hobbs:
  • A total of $28,351 as taxable costs for Hobbs
  • $4,689.50 as compensation for the representative Hobbs chose to inspect Maricopa County ballots during the lawsuit
The secretary of state had asked on Dec. 26 to sanction Lake and her attorneys, but that motion was denied.

"There is no doubt that each side believes firmly in its position and with great conviction," Thompson wrote in the ruling. "The fact that Plaintiff failed to meet the burden of clear and convincing evidence…does not equate to a finding that her claims were, or were not, groundless and presented in bad faith."

The judge had thrown out Lake’s challenge of her defeat in the Arizona governor’s race to Hobbs, rejecting her claim that problems with ballot printers at some polling places on Election Day were the result of intentional misconduct.

On Dec. 24, Judge Thompson had found that the court did not have any clear evidence of widespread misconduct that could have impacted the results of the 2022 midterm election.

During a two-day trial, Lake's team focused on ballot printer issues in Maricopa County, asking the judge to declare her governor or order a re-vote in the county.

The challenge was to prove that any misconduct was intentionally made to deny her victory.

I guess putting up voters' signatures on your Twitter account and claiming they are not valid voters is not a very smart idea. But Kari Lake was never very smart.

Top Arizona election official requests investigation of Kari Lake for potential campaign violation
https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/31/politics/arizona-election-kari-lake/index.html

The top election official in Arizona has asked the state’s attorney general to investigate Republican Kari Lake, who lost her 2022 gubernatorial bid, for potentially violating state law by publishing voter signatures on her Twitter account.

The request by Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a Democrat elected to the office last November, comes after Lake posted a tweet on January 23 that made an unfounded claim that 40,000 ballots didn’t match voter signatures that the state has on record. Lake posted a graphic that showed 16 voter signatures, alleging that they didn’t match with what Arizona has on file.

In a letter to Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, Fontes requested “appropriate enforcement action against Kari Lake” for publishing those 16 voter signatures. Fontes cites a state law that prohibits reproducing voter signatures other than the voter or a legally authorized person. Fontes’ letter states that violation of that law is a felony.

The office for Mayes, a Democrat who also was elected in 2022, confirmed receiving the letter but did not comment any further.

Lake’s spokespeople did not reply to CNN’s request for comment.

Lake lost the race for governor to Democrat Katie Hobbs last November by more than 17,000 votes. Since losing, Lake has continued to spout election lies on right-wing media and pursue legal remedy in the courts, legal efforts that have continued to fail.
