Maricopa County calls for penalties on Kari Lake, Mark Finchem for election suit

Lawyers for the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors are urging a court to slap penalties against Kari Lake, Mark Finchem, and their lawyers for a "frivolous lawsuit" against the county pertaining to election practices.

Lake and Finchem filed a suit in April demanding a judge prohibit the county from using certain equipment in the 2022 election due to concerns about possible fraud and hacking, but Maricopa County is arguing that the suit was rife with "demonstrably false allegations made without any basis or reasonable factual inquiry."

"Plaintiffs and their counsel violated Rule 11(b)(1) by pursuing this frivolous lawsuit that has no factual or legal basis for the improper purpose of undermining confidence in elections and to further their political campaigns," the motion for sanctions said.

****************************************

Lake wants to be Governor and Finchem wants to be Secretary of State, and neither one of them know how elections work in their state.

1. Frivolously dangerous or dangerously frivolous...

...either way, Arizona is close to going off the rails. To the right.

2. I hope the Democrats running for office in AZ.............

are going to produce about a billion ads about how much money taxpayers lost because the Fraudit destroyed millions of dollars worth of perfectly safe and functional voting equipment. Hammer them on gop waste.

5. How about the manufacturers

of the Voting Machines slapping the two of them individually with humongous dollar amount lawsuits for Defamation of Character? Slander? or would it be Libel?????

That would certainly rock their cutesy Republican asses, facing a losing battle in court with their only hopes that some Republican Zillionaire would come forth with the money to cover the huge monetary award........

Hope everyone else will contribute. We need him to win!

6. Thanks for posting this. Was so happy to see the county fighting back. The article mentions

that Lake and Finchem's legal team includes (scumbag) Alan Dershowitz.

7. If Finchem wins the Sec. of State race, he will never certify any democrat.

Arizona will be in trouble.
