Kari Lake. Roasted and Done.

Ms. Lake maintained her case had “provided the world with evidence".

In news from the “Long Overdue” pile, the New York Times reported today, Saturday December 24, 2022 , Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson in Maricopa County, ruled to end Lake’s pursuit of the Arizona Governorship.

Evidence was not apparent to support her claims.

And yet, even last night at Mar a Lago, microphone in hand, Lake continued to claim four to five hundred thousand votes were improperly attributed to Hobbs.

Judge Thompson today, “Plaintiff has no free-standing right to challenge election results based upon what Plaintiff believes — rightly or wrongly — went awry on Election Day. She must, as a matter of law, prove a ground that the legislature has provided as a basis for challenging an election.” She failed to make her case in a convincing manner, trailing Hobbs by 17,117 votes in Maricopa County.

Arizona is a changing state, no longer the state or Maricopa the county wanting to enjoy a close relationship with Sheriff Joe or his ilk. For twenty four years as Aripiao dominated, ruling with controversial to criminal policies for which he received a Trump pardon in 2017. Sheriff Joe in the 1990’s ran tent cities no matter what the wether to house those waiting for trials. Other infamous and torturous policies but the least of his crimes, included Christmas music 24/7, pink underwear and no smoking. At all. Joseph Michael Arpaio can be seen on wikipedia here. Maricopa is growing up.

In reports and personal experience, we as a nation are growing tired of the games Republicans play. This was evident in the lack of support shown locally and nationally for Lake’s unfounded assertions of a win. The state welcomes its new governor, Katie Hobbs in January.
