Failed Candidate for Governor Kari Lake Demands She Be Declared Winner
Source: Daily Beast
Failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has filed a lawsuit against Maricopa County officials challenging the certification of election results.
Lakes 70-page lawsuit calls for an order setting aside the certified result of the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election and declaring that Kari Lake is the winner. Republican Lake, a fervent 2020 election denier, has vehemently claimed the election was rigged after losing by 0.6 percent to Democratic candidate Katie Hobbs.
She tweeted a photo of the lawsuit along with the caption, LFG. If the process was illegitimate then so are the results. Stay tuned, folks, she tweeted. Furthermore, if the process was legitimate then so are the results. Lets find out.
The election was officially certified Tuesday after a messy process with one rural county delaying its certification in protest. A month before the election, Lake refused to say whether shed accept the results of the election, repeatedly telling CNN anchor Dana Bash, Im going to win the election and Ill accept that result.

After long refusing to commit to accepting the results of her race if she lost, Republican Kari Lake on Friday filed the legal challenge she's been threatening in the aftermath of losing the Arizona governor's race.
A civil complaint was filed Friday with the Maricopa County Superior Court naming Secretary of State and Democratic governor-elect Katie Hobbs, Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, Elections Director Scott Jarrett and both the office of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors and individual members.
There are multiple falsehoods and distorted assertions included in the lawsuit that echo the failed legal challenges brought by former President Donald Trumps team to overturn the 2020 election.
The lawsuit seeks extraordinary, unprecedented and likely unlawful relief of fully overturning the state's election and certifying her as the winner instead of Hobbs.
Lake is being represented by Bryan Blehm who previously repped the failed Cyber Ninjas effort to audit the 2020 election in Arizona, and Kurt Olsen, who reportedly talked to Trump on the day of Jan. 6 and pushed conspiracy theories to justify overturning that election...............................................

(24,330 posts)I think it's that because she's using her campaign to challenge the results
That way she can probably use her campaign war chest to pay her legal fees, and it may also protect her from personal lawsuits. Kind of similar to the LLC companies

Lake and Trump are big giant sore losers. I wonder why the corporate media isn't splashing that all over the headlines or even making a fuss like they did with Gore?

The more these MAGA extremists complain about fraud in urban areas, the more I'm convinced their side must have committed fraud in rural areas.

Just like TFG now demanding, in the face of another fiasco related to his second failure to return secret docs to the government, that all docs br immediately returned to him.
Losers, one and all!

as annoying as monsters like Lake are, making a name for themselves doing this crap, they will keep doing it unless it becomes unprofitable to do so. once lawyers start getting disbarred for participating in these suits, then they will stop

(12,582 posts)Claim fraud as loudly as possible, file BS lawsuits; and then tell all your supporters that "its going to take some time and a lot of money. Be a part of the VICTORY!"
Then watch the money roll in
Right from Trumps 2020 playbook; he made over 200 million from this.

They always take their claims to court, and they never succeed. And they learn nothing from their repeated failure.
