Stuck In A Lake!

She does not take losing very well.

Controversial former news reporter and failed Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake vows to fight her loss even if it means violence. While Arizona is moving on, Lake is still stuck on stupid. She now joins the choir of noise makers who deny election results.

Lake is suing the state because of the results in Maricopa County did not go her way.

The lawsuit filed late Friday by Lake centers on long lines and other difficulties that people experienced while voting on Election Day in Maricopa County. The challenge filed in Maricopa County Superior Court also alleges hundreds of thousands of ballots were illegally cast, but there’s no evidence that’s true.

Lake has refused to acknowledge that she lost to Arizona Secretary of State, now Governor-elect Katie Hobbs by more than 17,000 votes.

Maricopa County has 65% of the state's population. It has 10 cities with populations over 100,000 with Phoenix being the largest with 1.4 million residents. Lines backed up in some polling places, fueling Republican suspicions that some supporters were unable to cast a ballot, though there’s no evidence it affected the outcome. County officials say everyone was able to vote and all legal ballots were counted.

Lake sued Maricopa County officials and Hobbs in her current role as Arizona’s secretary of state.

Sophia Solis, a spokesperson for the secretary of state’s office, said Lake’s lawsuit was being reviewed but had no other comment on the filing.

Jason Berry, a Maricopa County spokesperson, declined to comment on Lake’s request to throw out the county’s election results in the governor’s race. But he said the county “respects the election contest process and looks forward to sharing facts about the administration of the 2022 general election and our work to ensure every legal voter had an opportunity to cast their ballot.”

Hobbs in a post on her Twitter account called the lawsuit “Lake’s latest desperate attempt to undermine our democracy and throw out the will of the voters.” She posted a statement from her campaign manager that called the lawsuit a “sham” and said her camp remained focused on “getting ready to hit the ground running on Day One of Katie Hobbs’ administration.”

The king of election deniers is Washed Up 45, who is currently running for president in 2024.

Arizona is a political monster.

Kari Lake, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) and Blake Masters are the most hated figures in Arizona politics. Outgoing governor Doug Ducey is considering a bid for the Senate in 2024 to take on Sinema. 

Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), a controversial far left lawmaker who wants to challenge Sinema. Sinema has an open feud with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). He is encouraging his allies to back Gallego poten0ially setting up a national fight for control of the Senate.
