The Supreme Court brushed aside a lawsuit Monday from Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake challenging the use of electronic voting machines in Arizona.
Lake, who filed the lawsuit during her failed campaign for governor in 2022, challenged whether the state’s electronic voting machines assured “a fair and accurate vote.” Two lower courts dismissed the suit, finding that Lake and former Republican state lawmaker Mark Finchem had not been harmed in a way that allowed them to sue.
Calling the precise nature of Lake’s claim “not clear,” the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals said the lawsuit was based on speculative concerns that the machines could be hacked.
Although Lake and Finchem cited “opinions by purported experts on manipulation risk” in the lawsuit, they did “not contend that any electronic tabulation machine in Arizona has ever been hacked,” the appeals court said. On appeal, the court continued, lawyers for Lake “conceded that their arguments were limited to potential future hacking, and not based on any past harm.”
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal Monday without comment, which is common.
Lake had sued the Arizona Secretary of State and the boards of supervisors of Maricopa and Pima Counties. All three waived their right to respond to the Supreme Court appeal, a signal that they believed the litigation was frivolous.
Lake accused the Supreme Court of “institutional inertia” on election issues after intervening in the 2000 election in the Bush v. Gore case, even though the court this term is heavily involved in several appeals involving former President Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.

CERTIORARI DENIED
23-1021 LAKE, KARI, ET AL. V. FONTES, AZ SEC. OF STATE, ET AL.
The rats learned in 2018 that is basically impossible to get the courts to even delay an election “result” let alone reverse one. Once they found that out they have run wild with the fraud. The cheating is diverse, ubiquitous and they adapt to any law changes as much as possible.
The intelligent will be preparing for what comes after.
Any dissenters will be crushed like Trump and the January 6th political prisoners.
Not sure my crystal ball is able to identify whatever that will be.
Appeals Court noted:
“...they did “not contend that any electronic tabulation machine in Arizona has ever been hacked,” the appeals court said. On appeal, the court continued, lawyers for Lake “conceded that their arguments were limited to potential future hacking, and not based on any past harm.”
Lake and Finchem never showed any actual evidence of hacking in AZ in their lawsuit, just that machines might be hacked in the future. Got to show up with actual evidence, not just speculation on what might happen at some unspecified time.
"The intelligent will be preparing for what comes after."
The intelligent try to be prepared for possible disasters - natural disasters, man-made disasters, and politician-made disasters.
"Not sure my crystal ball is able to identify whatever that will be."
I don't have a crystal ball, but empires last about 250 years (on average) and the Boston Tea Party occurred on December 16 1773, 250+ years ago.
The "Fourth Turning" began with the Great Recession of 2007 and is supposed to complete sometime between 2027 and 2030.
Teach the children quietly
For some day sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight
While we stood still
So the voters of Arizona are now at the mercy of the Sinaloa Cartel as their attorney Adrian Fontes made himself the Secretary of State in that election.
Must be nice to sit in DC and let an entire state go down.
The "progressives" took over the educational systems and now they are taking over the DA's and benches. Both have devolved from education and justice to indoctrination and revenge.
Songwriter Mike Rutherford revealed the meaning behind the lyrics in a 2017 interview:
"It was really about time travel. The story is about the idea that this father of the family is ahead in time, so he can look back and see what’s going to happen in England, and it’s not good. He’s trying to get a message back to his family to warn them that the impending disaster is coming. Hence the line, 'Can you hear me, can you hear me calling you?” --------------------------------------------------------
Good pick Florida Man, but too close to accurate. I would have told the kid to invest in MSFT, DG and QSR (Subway Restaurants) and only add money to them.
How dare you bring facts into this discussion!
