"And the defendants, their attorney said it in his closing statement. He said, we choose our rulers. Isn’t that telling?" Lake said.
Republican Kari Lake’s legal challenge against former Secretary of State and now Governor-Elect Katie Hobbs was thrown out on Saturday.
The court rejected Lake's claim that ballot printer and tabulation issues at a significant number of polling places on Election Day were the result of official misconduct that changed the results of the election.
In a decision Saturday, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson found that the court did not find 'clear and convincing evidence' of the official misconduct that impacted the election. Lake will appeal the ruling, she said in a statement.
“The Court cannot accept speculation or conjecture in place of clear and convincing evidence,” Judge Thompson said.
Former Secretary of State and Governor-Elect Katie Hobbs did not testify about certifying her own election. Kari Lake's team withdrew their subpoena of Hobbs earlier in the week.
Kari Lake exuded confidence following the last day of the Arizona election trial on Friday that she had made her case: Maricopa County election officials and her rival gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs had acted with "malicious intent" to deprive her campaign and Arizona voters of a free, fair, and cleanly run election.

I heard he had death threats. This needs to stop.
When you're up to Deep State nogoodness, don't have a unique name.
From who?
Who expected anything different??
Well before that time, Joe Biden will appoint him to the federal bench and he will be easily confirmed by the US Senate.
“I bet the Judge got a few phone calls.”
Or that horse head in his bed.
I have no respect for Judge Thompson.
So go over his head. And keep going over his head until it gets to the Supreme Court.
And do not concede.
The swamp speaks. They’ll do anything to crush the MAGA movement. Break any laws, cross any boundry and burn the American Constitution.
We’ll never win through lawfare.
Dereliction of duty
After Florida - - NO judge is going to rule on ANY election.
the government won the election...expecting the government to indict itself is magical thinking
So much for the sanctity of the vote. Thousands and thousands of voters were just disenfranchised by that thieving bitch Hobbs and this gutless Judge. I guess some votes are worth far more than others. The rats will weld the door shut on AZ now.
I just give up...
Agreed. Time is short. Come LORD JESUS, COME.
Don’t say that you didn’t see this coming from a mile away.
Shameless
Only revolution and force of arms will do
Evil is as evil does.
I believe you are right.
He “did not find ‘clear and convincing evidence.” Yeah, right. The evidence is 100% clear to everyone who looks.
