Arizona high court won't review Kari Lake's appeal over 2022 governor's race defeat

PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Supreme Court has declined to hear Republican Kari Lake’s latest appeal over her defeat in the 2022 governor’s race, marking yet another loss in her attempt to overturn the race’s outcome. The court made its refusal to take up the former TV anchor’s appeal public on Thursday without explaining its decision.

Lake, now locked in a U.S. Senate race against Democrat Ruben Gallego, had lost the governor’s race to Democrat Katie Hobbs by over 17,000 votes.

The courts had previously rejected Lake’s claims that problems with ballot printers at some Maricopa County polling places on Election Day in 2022 were the result of intentional misconduct and that Maricopa County didn’t verify signatures on mail ballots as required by law. A judge also turned down Lake’s request to examine the ballot envelopes of 1.3 million early voters. In all, Lake had three trials related to the 2022 election.

Despite her earlier losses in court and a ruling affirming Hobbs’ victory, Lake had asked the Arizona Supreme Court to review her case, claiming she had new evidence to support her claims. Lawyers for Maricopa County told the court that Lake failed to present any new evidence that would change the courts’ findings.

that is all...

If there is any justice and sanity in the world left--even a drip, Gallego will prevail.

Mar-a-Lago. None at all. Trump needs Melania to show up --for appearance if nothing else [for the fools}

If she doesn’t show up. She’s tasteless, classless and tactless…but I guess that means she fits right in, eh? She butchered the White House Rose Garden. Does anyone remember the red Christmas trees with the white toppers? Can you say Handmaid’s Tale? Her use of a pith helmet while in Africa? Her infamous “I really don’t care. Do u?” jacket worn when she went to Texas and toured a migrant children’s shelter? Oh, yes. And who could forget her “Be best” anti-bullying campaign, that she never did anything with, and unveiled it while her…gold mine…er, I mean, husband, Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent was bullying and harassing people from the White House (and much earlier, too).

There’s not a shred of decency in a single goddamned member of crime family. And I include girlfriends (cough*Kimberly Gilfoyle*cough) and sons-in-law (cough*Jar Jar*cough) in the collective sleaze.
