The Fight for Election Integrity Continues -- Audits, Criminal Investigations, Legislative Reform

Well, folks, still nothing from Kari. She said it would be filed by yesterday. I have no idea what the delay would be. I'd expect they'd be better prepared and ready to go much sooner than this.

Or, possibly, they are re-evaluating based on the new evidence presented last week...

Perhaps, and that was my initial thought, but I would still expect a more expedient filing. I would think that they would focus on anything that would corroborate what they have already alleged/proven, and I don't think that would be too involved or time consuming.

But easy for me to say... I know...

Unless the attorneys are contemplating refiling as an entirely new case.

Personally, I think the massivity of the evidence presented warrants it - IF it is properly vetted, corroborated, validated and provable in court.

Hint, corruption. With so much of it going through the government and courts there is going to be a lot of political and legal pressure to shut this case down. What is the point of filing if one of the corrupt judges gets their hands on the case?

Kari is going to need a lot of good support to get this over the line. With the way threats, intimidation, blackmail and every other dirty trick in the book has been used so far, it is going to be a tough fight.

Well, if said Judge is on the list of named Judges that are involved in the corruption, they can demand they recuse themselves, and if they don't, it is grounds for appeal.

But again, the smart play would be to refile the case in the lower court incorporating the new evidence (once its been vetted).

Kari is going to need a lot of good support to get this over the line. With the way threats, intimidation, blackmail and every other dirty trick in the book has been used so far, it is going to be a tough fight.

Since some of the evidence presented was an attempt on Kari's daughters life, and multiple attempts on the [rimary attorney (John Thaler), I'd say, yeah, you're right...

KARI LAKE, the person who was (either intentionally or unintentionally) cheated out of winning the race for Arizona Governor in November 2022, is taking her case to the Arizona Supreme Court...

Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake ran as a Donald Trump acolyte, and she’s now taking the former president's election fraud allegations playbook all the way to the Arizona Supreme Court.

Nearly four months after losing her bid for the state’s highest office to Democrat Katie Hobbs in a tight race, Lake is asking the state’s Supreme Court to review the allegations of fraud earlier deemed without merit by lower courts.

“We filed our Historic Election Integrity case with the Arizona Supreme Court,” Lake tweeted Wednesday. “Pray for our Attorneys. Pray for the Judges. Pray for Justice. Pray for America.”

Lake’s attorneys allege ballot printer irregularities in Maricopa County – home to more than 60 percent of the state’s voters – polling places and claim chain of custody protocols were breached at an off-site facility.

They also argued that the state’s Court of Appeals in rejecting Lake’s challenge applied an improper standard of proof.

If the Court is Non-Corrupt, Kari will win her case, easily.

Only Fraud Deniers call us election deniers... funny how that works, eh?

Too true! Or as I refer to them as, "Election Fraud Deniers."

Maybe tomorrow..

I have to say, I was shocked when I heard how intricate and how deep the plan was when it was pointed out Thursday at the hearing. I had no idea it could have been that complex. I suspected ballot harvesting at retirement homes and some fake ballots inserted to change the numbers; that kind of election fraud. Who knew it ran so deep and was so all-encompassing?

I also have to think that it took Kari and her team a little by surprise as well. Who could have guessed all that which was revealed? I feel she's looking into it all very carefully with her team, adjusting their strategy to encompass these new issues, and this process will delay their plans.

Thanks for posting!

I haven't read the filing yet and won't have time this morning. But I doubt there are any surprises since TGP didn't report any.

BREAKING: Kari Lake Files Petition For Review For Historic Election Lawsuit In The Arizona Supreme Court – PETITION AND MOTION TO EXPEDITE INCLUDED

a reply to: TrulyColorBlind

I think a lot of people were surprised. No one suspected that the fraud has been built-in and become systemic.... features not glitches.

At least before the audit no one suspected. I think the audit opened the door to that possibility for many people. This testimony just cinched it.

a reply to: kwakakev

Yes, the corruption runs deep!

I'm so glad Kari's not giving up. Kari speaks a lot about mama bears protecting their cubs. She's right. If an attempt was made to harm Kari's daughter, then they made it personal.

If anyone can and will fight until the end, it's a mama bear protecting her cubs.

Here we go!!!

JUST IN: Arizona Supreme Court Agrees To Expedite Kari Lake’s Election Fraud Lawsuit, Internal Conference Scheduled for MARCH 21 – ORDER INCLUDED

The Arizona Supreme Court issued a new order on Thursday, granting the motion for expedited consideration of Kari Lake‘s lawsuit against Katie Hobbs and the stolen 2022 Election in Arizona.

The Court scheduled March 21 to consider whether or not they will accept Lake’s new petition. “At the conference, the Court will decide whether to accept review and schedule an oral argument,” states the order.

Responses from Defendants were further ordered to be submitted by March 13.

So no guarantee the Supreme Court will accept the case, but they've agreed to an expedited conference to consider hearing the case.

Just one small win... but we're still one step closer.

Kari Lake: “Someone Came To My Door and Tried To Bribe Me”

On Saturday, Lake revealed that she was offered a bribe to refrain from participating in politics for two years. “Something happened to me this week before I left for CPAC and it shows how desperate these people are to stop me,” Lake started. “Somebody showed up at my door this week,” Lake continued. “They called me before and said: I gotta talk to you in person, this can’t be done over the phone … They came to my door and they tried to bribe me out of getting out of politics. This really happened. I’m telling you this because this is how disgusting politics is. A mom who runs for office and they’re afraid of me? They tried to bribe me with a job title, with a huge salary, a position on a board.”

I'm guessing that since Kari felt comfortable enough to have this person come to her home, it was someone she knew fairly well, perhaps a FOX executive or former colleague.

I'm also not sure that what is described here is illegal. Offering someone a position that will take their time and efforts away from other things is arguably innocence. Even if an illegal deal was made, in this case it would have been done in such a way as to not leave any record of a crime.

Since the corruption allegations came out in Arizona, my head has been trying to wrap itself around the potentialities. At the lowest levels, look at what 2000 mules uncovered, and now we are hearing about things like "swatting teams" in Arizona communities. At the highest levels, the movie America Made was about actual cooperation between a cartel and the CIA, and later the White House. If that was in the 80's, I can only image how complex and how evolved organized crime has become since then. Think about it, the possibilities are mind-blowing.

Fortunately, we now know of very brave investigators that are not only uncovering the corruption, but are also documenting how it's being accomplished which could potentially lead to exposing so much more of it.

In the grand scheme of things, election fraud is just one tiny aspect of the organized crime currently plaguing our society.

From a Conservative Daily email:

According to the filing, Lake claims that Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center (MCTEC) sent 263,379 ballots to Runbeck on election night. 

Then Runbeck returned 298,942 ballots to MCTEC. To be clear, that is 35,563 extra ballots that were inserted.

Further, according to the case, a Runbeck whistleblower testified that Runbeck allowed this to happen.

This isn’t new. It’s just another example of overwhelming evidence of a stolen election that our corrupted justice system has ignored or, worse, suppressed. 

35,563 inserted ballots by Runbeck is the claim. Wow! If this is true, it's such a simple detail that it should be easy to prove in court, while being easy to understand by the layperson.

If true, would this be enough probable cause of election fraud and conspiracy to commit election fraud to be able to conduct an investigation, and if so, is there anyone who can be trusted to conduct the investigation honestly?

Personally I think that over 60% of the 298,942 ballots, that came back from Runbeck, being in favor of Hobbs in a race that is close to 50/50, is enough statistical evidence to warrant an investigation. That's a very interesting adjudication process they're running.

Oh yeah, and shout-out to all the brave whistle-blowers that have come out with regards to our elections and other alleged government abuses. You're sacrifices have not gone unnoticed and your efforts are much appreciated.

Excellent! Can we see the "case" documents at the AZ Supreme Court website, like we can at the U.S. Supreme Court website?

Now that Kari's done gadabouting with her CPAC buddies and soaking in their adoration, she seems to be getting back to the business of Arizona. So I'll stop being ornery and get back to business too.

I've got a few things worth posting, first and foremost this excellent analysis of Kari's appeal to the Supreme Court.

Tracy Beanz Twitter

We all know the major objections and evidence, so I'll just quote the specific legal contentions they are asking the Supreme Court to examine and consider.

1. Did the appeals court err in what standard should be used when adjudicating election cases?

2. The EPM *requires* that ballots be counted and noted on the retrieval form “when the secure container IS OPENED.” The lower court ruled that the EPM doesn’t impose any time requirement, and an “initial estimate” is all that is required. Did the lower court make a mistake when it ruled that the language shouldn’t be interpreted as expressly written?

3. Did the lower court err when it ignored the fact that 33,563 ballots were added to the total number of ballots at a 3rd party facility - an amount far exceeding the vote margin - with the court holding that this was “insufficient” to show the elections outcome was at least “uncertain”

4. Did the court err when it *ignored* the fact that Maricopa DID NOT PERFORM Logic and Accuracy testing, as required?

5. Did the court err when it *ignored* the fact that because of this failure, disruptions disenfranchised thousands of Republican voters, and that this rendered the outcome at least uncertain?

6. This is a big one- did the court err in dismissing the signature verification claim on laches, mischaracterizing that @KariLake was challenging the existing policies, when in fact…

SHE ALLEGED THEY FAILED TO FOLLOW EXISTING POLICY DURING THE ELECTION

She never argued the policy was wrong. She argued THEY DID NOT FOLLOW IT.

7. Did the court err in dismissing the Equal Protection and Due Process clauses as being a repeat of another count, without considering additional issues, like the targeting of Republican voters using “heat maps” in Maricopa County?

So these are the specific legal contentions the Supreme Court is being asked to consider.

A preliminary hearing will be held March 21... the first day of spring and new beginnings. I like that.

The Craven Surrender of Jenna Ellis

Trump Election Lawyer Chooses Self over MAGA

I'm not sure it was a "surrender" so much as a finale. Many of the Trump lawsuits were questionable even to me, and it wouldn't be the first time attorneys knowingly and willingly filed faulty lawsuits doomed to fail. She talked a good game but never had any evidence to back it up.

Here in AZ --

A Blueprint for Ending the Voting Machines Has Arrived

A resolution has just passed out of committee (as an amendment) that should effectively prohibit computerized voting machines in federal elections. It bans any component (or element) used in the electronic voting machines from being used as the primary method for counting votes in a federal election unless it can meet Department of Defense standards — and none of them can do so currently. The resolution also requires that the ballots, the source code, and other log files must be publicly posted.

The resolution is called SCR 1037.

And here's the best part:

The resolution is very significant because it relies on the Arizona’s legislature’s constitutional authority to set election law — thereby completely bypassing the current Governor of Arizona, Katie Hobbs (D).

That’s right: it does not require the consent or the signature of Arizona’s governor.

In other words: this is the blueprint for GOP lawmakers to stop the voting machines in other states.

I hope other states are paying attention.

Things that make you go "hmmmmm..."

No Labels has emerged during a period of partisan polarization, with a rising bloc of independent voters dissatisfied with both major parties.

The bolded (by me) words are the takeaway here. The two parties are threatened by the growing Independents.

But I sure don't trust these folks! It's just the elites' way to capture their vote under more false pretenses.

I would suggest that many, if not the vast majority of Independents that are dissatisfied by the Republicans are actually dissatisfied with the RINOs, which is a good thing for the MAGA movement...
