A Dip In The Lake!

A hefty fine will finally end this noise.

Washed up politician Kari Lake is warned about sanctions and fines if she does not end her relentless quest to overturn the results of the Arizona governor's race.

Maricopa County filed a motion on Monday for sanctions against Lake. The motion was joined later on Monday by Arizona’s Governor-elect Katie Hobbs (D), who defeated Lake and is now seeking “attorney’s fees and expenses, requesting about $37,000 paid as a sanction,” according to local reports.

Lake deleted a tweet attacking Maricopa County Judge Peter Thompson. Lake tweeted, “The Dismissal of Kari Lake’s Election Lawsuit Shows Voter Disenfranchisement No Longer Matters @Rach_IC: ‘Legal experts believe his decision [by Judge Thompson] was ghostwritten, they suspect top left-wing attorneys like Marc Elias emailed him what to say.’”

Judge Thompson ruled on Dec. 24th in against Lake’s filing that the 2022 election had been tampered with. Local media reported that “Thompson found that the court did not have any clear evidence of widespread misconduct that could have impacted the results of the 2022 midterm election.”

Moving forward.

“During a two-day trial, Lake’s team focused on ballot printer issues in Maricopa County, asking the judge to declare her governor or order a re-vote in the county,” added the report. Lake has vowed to appeal the ruling.

Sanctions would be in the form of a financial penalty imposed by a judge for violation of a court rule or misconduct.

Lake targeted Gov-Elect Hobbs, currently Arizona’s secretary of state, along with top officials in Maricopa county. The Republican’s suit claimed “hundreds of thousands of illegal ballots infected the election” in the state’s most populous county.

In a separate filing, Hobbs asked the superior court in Maricopa county to award her more than $600,000 to compensate for fees and expenses accrued in defending Lake’s lawsuit.
