While saying he's not deciding the merits of Lake's claim of intentional misconduct at some Phoenix voting centers, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson ruled Monday night that Lake can have a brief trial to try to prove it…
Howard Fischer PHOENIX — Losing gubernatorial hopeful Kari Lake is entitled to try to prove in court that someone in Maricopa County illegally tinkered with ballot printers resulting in lost votes for her, a judge ruled late Monday.
"Plaintiff must show at trial that the ballot-on-demand printer malfunctions were intentional, and directed to affect the result of the election, and that such actions did actually affect the outcome," the judge wrote. "At most, those declarations say that a handful of voters chose not to vote using the means available to them on Election Day," Khanna said.
That goes to her claim that the county did not maintain a"chain of custody" of about 300,000 ballots, making those votes unreliable. And Lake also contends that more than 25,000 ballots were added to the total after Election Day. The decision to allow a trial on these issues comes despite efforts by Hobbs, represented by separate attorneys in her capacity as secretary of state and as the governor elect who defeated Lake, to have the entire case tossed."Katie Hobbs' attempt to have our case thrown out FAILED," she wrote.
Olson, however, said it really is allowing election officials"to immediately flag and take down information, to censor people, that they find objectionable." Thompson wasn't buying it. Instead, he pointed out, Lake has known since at least April — when Attorney General Mark Brnovich publicly raised the issue — that the county might not be following the law. But Thompson said that, having waited, she cannot now use that to try to overturn the election.
