In her election lawsuit, former Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake appealed to the Arizona Supreme Court, claiming that at least 8,000 illegible ballots were incorrectly configured.
Appeal below:
Lake’s legal team alleges that at least 8,000 ballots were unreadable and not “duplicated or counted.” which you can find on page 2.
“The ballot-on-demand printer investigation report by former Chief Justice McGregor (‘the McGregor Report’) found that ‘four printers randomly printed one or a few ‘fit to page’ ballots in the middle of printing a batch of ballots…[n]one of the technical people with whom we spoke could explain how or why that error occurred.” the appeal reads.
“Lake’s expert testified this ‘error’ could only result from malware or remote access and resulted in at least 8,000 misconfigured ballots, the vast majority of which were neither duplicated nor counted,” it continues.
Lake announced last week that her election case was moved to another appellate court division.
“Well, the Arizona appellate court just transferred our election case to another appellate court division which doesn’t even cover Maricopa County,” she wrote on Twitter. “That appellate court covers Pima County which means the most Marxist part of the state will be hearing our case.”
The decision to transfer the case, according to AZPM
, was made in accordance with an Arizona law that “let the Phoenix Appeals Court send cases to Tucson at random to ease its workload.”
If necessary, Lake has pledged to appeal her election case all the way to the US Supreme Court.
According to NBC News, she is also thinking about running for the U.S. Senate and plans to do so in the fall.
The former candidate for governor has also stated that she is totally committed to making her case in the election.
“This is, I believe, our best hope to get reform in our elections: my case,” Lake said on the “Just the News, No Noise” TV show last week. “I believe it’s the greatest election case. We have the truth on our side. We have tons of evidence. Yes, we haven’t had a judge rule in our favor. But it takes a lot of courage to make the right ruling on this case.”
Since losing to the current Democratic governor of Arizona, Katie Hobbs, Lake has challenged the election results in court, claiming that thousands of Republican voters were denied the right to vote on Election Day because voting system malfunctions occurred in at least 60% of Maricopa County polling places. She also drew attention to serious issues with the mail-in ballot signature verification process.
