On Wednesday, Kari Lake’s lawyers argued that the court did not properly consider the evidentiary claim that 35,363 ballots were not accounted for in the final count in Maricopa County’s 2022 midterm election. Per the April 5th filing in Lake’s election integrity case, lead attorney Kurt Olsen reaffirms in the brief that there “was no record for delivery” to Runbeck of the “Election Day early ballots.” Olsen reasserts from earlier filings the “undisputed fact that 35,363 unaccounted[-]for ballots were added to the total of ballots at a third[-]party processing facility,” referencing Runbeck. Wednesday’s brief asks for reconsideration of the evidence...

Former Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake said on Thursday that it would be a “big red flag” if any 2024 Republican presidential candidate did not believe her 2022 Arizona election was stolen. “I ask you that every candidate who comes through — when they stand on this stage, when they’re shaking your hand, when they’re walking through town, taking your questions — that you ask them where they stand on election integrity,” Lake said at a local GOP event in Nevada, Iowa. “And I think you should get even more specific, ‘Was the 2022 election for governor in Arizona...

People have worked for a century to make California’s Tulare Basin into a food grower’s paradise. That pastoral landscape now looks more like the Pacific Ocean in many areas. Months of atmospheric river storms have pummeled the area and saturated the basin’s soil, which sits about halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, not far from Fresno. The rains have led to floods that damaged towns and deluged farms and have begun to refill what was once a sprawling lake. The floods have pitted neighboring property owners against one another and raised tensions over how to manage the flows, which...

Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s lawyer, Kurt Olsen, said that Maricopa County did not have a few bad signatures on mail-in ballots in November’s election, but an entire “systemic failure.” Arizona Supreme Court affirmed most of the trial court’s and the Arizona Court of Appeals’ rulings in favor of Democrat Gov. Katie Hobbs and Maricopa County, but did remand one of Lake’s claims — that signature verification laws for mail-in ballots were not followed by the county in 2022 — to the trial court for consideration. ... Olsen told FrankSpeech.com host Emerald Robinson Thursday, “The Supreme Court did remand...

The order states: "IT IS FURTHER ORDERED remanding to the trial court to determine whether the claim that Maricopa County failed to comply with A.R.S. § 16-550(A) fails to state a claim pursuant to Ariz. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) for reasons other than laches, or, whether Petitioner can prove her claim as alleged pursuant to A.R.S. § 16-672 and establish that 'votes [were] affected...

Could two losers make a winner?​ Former President Donald Trump is strongly ​considering a woman to be his 2024 running mate and views failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake as the model for a potential vice president, according to a report. ​ Trump, 76, who launched his third White House bid Nov. 15, sees Lake as someone who could help him shore up the necessary support among suburban women to defeat President Biden, Axios reported on Tuesday, citing people who talked with Trump about his plans. ​ More importantly, Lake — a former TV news anchor in Arizona who has...

I find this extremely intriguing and if true, which it likely is, then this is unethical at least and certainly illegal. Kari said this person called her and told her that he would come to her house in Arizona because it had to be discussed in person. Kari claimed she was offered a position, title and money by a man from out east, to stay out of politics for the next two years. This would keep her out of contention, for the Arizona Senate seat and as VP Candidate for whom ever wins the nomination. The reason for this thread...

Ariz. Gov. Katie Hobbs Laundered Mexican Cartel Money to Rig Elections 'These documents have definitely evidenced multiple racketeering enterprises [including] election fraud...' . Breger stated that the money laundering and racketeering scheme uses fraudulent mortgages, real estate transactions and insurance claims in Maricopa County — the place that became infamous during the 2022 midterms — to hide money made through cartel human trafficking, traffic drugs and bribe the elected officials.

PHOENIX -- An Arizona appeals court has rejected Republican Kari Lake’s challenge of her defeat in the Arizona governor’s race to Democrat Katie Hobbs, denying her request to throw out election results in the state’s most populous county and hold the election again. In a ruling on Thursday, the Arizona Court of Appeals wrote Lake, who claimed problems with ballot printers at some police places on Election Day were the result of intentional misconduct, presented no evidence that voters whose ballots were unreadable by tabulators at polling places were not able to vote. The court said that even a witness...

by Becca LondonThe NFL played the divisive so-called "Black National Anthem" before Super Bowl LVII on Sunday night.Left-wing "Influencer" and “Victoriously Aware” actress/author Sheryl Lee Ralph sang the anthem. The NFL announced it would be playing the “Black National Anthem” (their words) as “a prominent part of all big league events,” including the Super Bowl, NFL Playoffs, NFL Draft, and NFL Kickoff game. But to its credit, FOX Sports did not identify the song as the Black National Anthem. Instead, they introduced it by its name, “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” The woke league plays the song to reinforce its...

The GOP is a carbon copy of the French Army. They put up the white flag before the battle begins. A great general once said, “I’d rather have the German Army in front of me, than the French Army behind me.” That sums up today’s GOP. They don’t represent “we the people.” They either don’t understand, or don’t care what their own base believes. They only represent their corporate donors. And they run for cover at the first sign of a fight. Sarah Huckabee is different. She is a winner! First, she beat cancer, then she won the Arkansas Governor’s...

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona – At a standing-room-only event Sunday, Kari Lake signaled she is not giving up her legal battle to install her as the rightful Arizona governor instead of Democrat Katie Hobbs. Lake held a Save Arizona rally at Orange Tree Golf Club in Scottsdale with over a thousand in attendance, assuring her supporters she intended to fight until the “victorious end.” The mainstream media recently ran stories claiming Lake was switching her focus to running against Senator Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ). Lake focused her entire speech on election fraud. “They thought they could steal it and we would just go...

Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake refuses to concede to now-appointed Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs because she keeps finding evidence that the election was a hot mess and likely skewed the outcome. Her latest discovery, thanks to a freedom of information request: Some 200,000 votes in Maricopa County, which skews red, were not properly tabulated and actually failed. “Officials sabotaged Election Day. On November 8th (when 75% of votes were for @KariLake) nearly 1/4 of a MILLION voting attempts FAILED, according to the system log files that were obtained via FOIA. This is huge, folks. Huge,” she tweeted on Monday.

Kari Lake, the Republican who lost the Arizona governor's race this past November, could beat both potential competitors Ruben Gallego and Kyrsten Sinema were she to run in 2024 for the latter's Senate seat, according to a recent poll. The survey, released January 11 by website Blueprint Polling, imagined a scenario in which Sinema, a former Democrat turned independent who's held her Senate seat since 2019, runs for reelection against Lake and Gallego, a Democrat who represents the state's 3rd Congressional District. Lake, who rumors say is considering running for the seat but has not confirmed this, polled at 36...

Who is Virginia Ross? She had one job. She was supposed to make sure the Pinal County general election count was done properly in Arizona. Last week, we learned there was a substantial discrepancy that wasn’t reported until AFTER the results were certified. Now, we know WHY they didn’t get reported. It wasn’t just for the sake of stealing another election. It was so someone could “earn” a big bonus. According to Kari Lake: Pinal County discovered a 600 vote discrepancy during @AbrahamHamadeh’s recount. @katiehobbs intercepted this information & hid it from Abe & me while we were filling our...

Arizona GOP gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake said that she wants the entire Maricopa County Board of Supervisors recalled due to their incompetence in handling the 2022 election. "We need to recall everyone at the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors — especially Bill Gates and Stephen Richer," Lake said on Tuesday's edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "These two men in charge of this election started a Super PAC to raise money and try to defeat me and they were in charge of the election when I'm on the ballot." Lake has recently filed a petition to...
