This is a major victory for election integrity!
I don’t need to tell you that the way the 2022 midterm elections were conducted in Arizona was highly suspect; numerous voter tabulation issues that seemed to plague only one type of voter were rampant in Maricopa County.
Aside from this, Katie Hobbs certified her own victory, reportedly through the use of duress…How is this even remotely allowed in America?
In response to this highly irregular election, Kari Lake filed her lawsuit and a judge ordered both parties to attend a hearing pursuant to the ongoing litigation.
Now, judge Peter Thompson has granted most of Kari Lake’s requests to inspect the ballots:
Arizona judge just ruled in favor of Kari Lake in her lawsuit against Maricopa County and ordered that Lake can inspect ballots.
The inspection is scheduled for 12/20.
Katie Hobbs has a hearing on 12/19 where she’ll ask to dismiss the ruling — she’s afraid of transparency.

According to Conservative Brief:
Reports noted that Judge Peter Thompson signed off on three out of four requests made by Lake via her legal team to review 50 random “ballot on demand” printed ballots cast on Election Day, as well as another 50 early ballots cast from “six separate Maricopa County batches,” and another 50 random ballot-on-demand printed ballots that were marked as spoiled.
However, Thompson rejected a request from Lake to inspect 50 randomly selected early ballot envelopes.

Our lawsuit isn't based on conspiracy or wild speculation.
We have laid out a very clear theory about statutory violations and a broken chain of custody.
These ballots deserve close scrutiny and we're delighted we have been granted it. https://t.co/Tk259zQDAU pic.twitter.com/Jw0OACzgvE

Phillip Kline issued this warning, as noted by The Arizona Sun-Times:
Kline tweeted, “If Hobbs is successful in dismissing Lake’s suit it only proves:
1) election officials can violate procedure and law without accountability.
2) partisan private vendors can still be used to conduct core government functions.
3) legislators & others have failed to learn from 2020.
4) many of those who claimed to fix the 2020 problems are wrong!”
