Kari Lake Announces Her Next Step After Case Dismissed

On Saturday, Judge Peter Thompson threw out Kari Lake’s lawsuit against Katie Hobbs…Abe Hamadeh’s lawsuit was also thrown out.

In response to this, Lake says that she will file an appeal to the decision.

According to Axios, “In his ruling, Thompson acknowledged “the anger and frustration of voters” but said the court “cannot accept speculation or conjecture in place of clear and convincing evidence.”

Many Arizona voters expressed ‘frustration’ with the widely reported voter tabulation issues on election day; a leaked email conversation between election officials also indicated a stunning disparity in the official vote tally…

Despite all of this, Lake’s lawsuit was dismissed due to a ‘lack of evidence’…

Lake addressed the situation and told followers:

My Election Case provided the world with evidence that proves our elections are run outside of the law. This Judge did not rule in our favor. However, for the sake of restoring faith and honesty in our elections, I will appeal his ruling.

The Post Millennial reports:

Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson paved the way for Katie Hobbs to be Arizona’s next governor, but gave “both sides until Monday for Lake’s side to appeal or for Hobbs’ side to seek sanctions.”

Outside the courthouse after the proceedings, Lake said her attorneys proved their case.

“We proved without a shadow of a doubt that there was malicious intent that caused disruption so great it changed the results of the election,” Lake said.

“We provided expert testimony. We provided experts. The other side brought in activists to try to save face. They admitted that they’ve known about these ballot problems.”

Her lawyers focused on problems with ballot printers at some polling places in Maricopa County, home to more than 60% of voters.

The defective printers produced ballots that were too light to be read by the on-site tabulators at polling places. Lines backed up in some areas amid the confusion.
