Amfest is in Phoenix.
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson dismissed eight of the 10 claims Lake raised in her lawsuit, which asks the judge to either declare her the winner or hold a revote in the county. Thompson took no position on the merits of Lake's two surviving claims, but he wrote that the law allows her to make her case.
Lake lost to Democrat Katie Hobbs by just over 17,000 votes out of 2.6 million cast. She will attempt to prove in a two-day hearing scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday that:
1) ballot printers malfunctioned in Maricopa County because of intentional interference by election officials and
2) that ballots were improperly added at a county contractor that handles returned mail ballots.
So you'll eventually make it possible that your democratic rights and liberties are taken from you.
No matter how the judge rules.
What made it to court are two irregularities which had zero impact on the outcome...

Democrats need to learn how to lie more effectively. In this article the Maricopa county officials (Democrats) say "Everybody got to vote on election day".

2. As of two days after the election, there was a nearly 16,000-ballot discrepancy between the outstanding ballot counts estimated by Maricopa County and the Arizona secretary of state's office. "Unable to currently reconcile SOS listing with our estimates from yesterday," Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer wrote in a Nov. 10 email. The county estimated 392,000 ballots left to be counted, while the secretary of state's website said there were 407,664 ballots left. "So there's a 15,000 difference somewhere," Richer concluded.
The remaining two are trivial but are being heard for procedural reasons, though the judge specifically refuses to comment on their merits.

This is a powder keg. if they can prove fraud in this election, similar cases can be brought across the nation. Perhaps even overturning 2020.
How would possible voter fraud in a county for a governer overturn the 2020 presidential elections?
Not to mention, she is an avid Trump supporter who believes the 2020 elections were fraudelent. Is every republican going to claim cheating if they lost now?

It is NOT Democrats in Arizona who were running the election in Maricopa County - it was Republicans.
It is a simple fact that EVERYONE WHO WANTED TO VOTE ON ELECTION DAY HAD THE CHANCE TO VOTE.
Where the precinct printers were mucked up, every voter could deposit their ballot in the ballot box EXACTLY as voters have done for decades before the local tabulators were adopted. That box was then transported to the central counting headquarters and processed EXACTLY as ballots have been processed for decades.
And that procedure is EXACTLY what the you anti-democracy election deniers are trying to return the system to after eliminating the local tabulators - you put your ballot in a box which is then transported to the election headquarters and counted there. That process will take longer to complete than the current process - much longer.
But of course you want a 100% hand count to be completed in what 3 hours? 4 hours tops? Or should they just stop counting when the clock strikes midnight and that's it? Maybe they should just take exit polls and forget the actual ballot process altogether?
Anti-democracy anarchists should learn how to disguise their hypocrisy more effectively.
