An Arizona judge on Saturday ruled against Kari Lake in her challenge of Gov.-elect Katie Hobbs’s (D) victory, dismissing the highest-profile case challenging the midterm election results. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson following a two-day trial found that Lake had not proven that election officials committed intentional misconduct sufficient to change the race’s outcome.CORRECTION*

What is it going to take?
So tired of losing, ever since the Supreme Court decreed that the states did not have "standing" to challenge a Presidential election. Not sure if the judges are partisan or just cowards.

Simply remember that blowing up your daughter’s boyfriend is a powerful message. I guess the judge doesn’t want his family murdered.

Pretty much expected, but still disgusting that gutless judges keep finding lame excuses to allow continued malfeasance.

I hate it when the devil wins... and he's been doing a lot of that lately. May God bless Kari Lake, and all of those who've suffered theft in the last election. This didn't turn out as we hoped, but millions of eyes have been opened by what happened in Arizona and the majority of American's know that the demon's are cheating to win elections. A day of reckoning is approaching and the demon's will suffer, either here or in eternity.

It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to overturn an election once it has been certified. Republican have to get serious about getting engaged in the voting process (vote casting, processing and counting) in a lot of city based precincts/counties, and have a lot of lawyers on the scene with judges on speed dial. I was hoping Trump would lead the charge in this regard, but he only seems interested in his 2020 race.....ugh !!

I fail to see any reason for voting because of baked-in election theft with judicial compliance when obvious lawbreaking has occured. The judge has essentially approved stealing with an unstated warning to Democrats to not be so blatant.

The end of the Republic.
When DEM judges REFUSE to hear evidence, the judicial sysem fails.
We no longer have enough states to win an electoral college vote.
Our BASE is divided, and at eachother's throast, epecially many of them are low informations voters
RINOcrats rule and there is no getting rid of them through the electoral process when so many challengers divide any primary challengers to the incumber RINOS
This Bill that was passed was all limped together so that they would not vote against because it would mean defeat for their pet legislation and GIVEAWAYS
A NoBama care set up-- stall until Christmas break, after LOSING control to the republicans in January, a tax bill CREATED in the Senate which is against the Constitution, and ramming it through
RINOs only supporting other RINOs, and actually giving money to DEMS.
We are now screwecd, another Great Depression now inevitable.
The Good News, God is in control, and he is ultimately in charge!
Hallelujan! Merry Christmas!

I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how.

Courts and elections are our primary mechanisms to peaceably resolve differences and live together. When these are no longer available to half the country, something has to give. Initially there is oppression, likely followed by violence. We already have the former (e.g. J6 gulag, censorship and weaponized bureaucracies), how long until the latter? It won’t be pretty, Brandon already reminded us they have nukes and F-15s. A messy (but hopefully peaceful) national divorce or extreme federalism would be preferable, but the leftists won’t be willing to let us go. They want control and they need the masses to grow their arugula, fix their plumbing, and otherwise maintain their lifestyles.

Was thinking that the judge might differentiate between fraud and incompetence, given how Lake's lawyers worded the complaint. They accused Hobbs of fraud, not stupidity.
That being said, the election results are contaminated, so I would file a new lawsuit based upon the county's incompetence.

There is a day coming when the wicked will beg for death to take them. "And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” Revelation 6

Clearly, there is no reason to vote anymore. The evil left has perfected vote counting and cheating enough just to secure a simple win. Cheating is hard to prove, particularly with a very small margin of corrupt victory.
Judges are even worse, likely terrified via threats.
It truly saddens me to realize that it probably is time to consider your exercise of Second Amendment rights.

Gee. Who knew?
Electoral processes are deeply flawed to the point one wonders how much they really matter beyond the point of keeping the masses believing in the "process for democracy" so they do not revolt.

Allowing the trial was a ruse. It's sad that nobody is surprised? Once they denied the real attorney general's case, we knew this wasn't far behind. With all that evidence and she still loses. Pretty sad. We didn't know what we had with Presidents Reagan and Trump. But as other's have stated, God is solidly in control, and that's a fact.

Not surprised. Don't understand the route these cases take to prove voter fraud. They always fail. Is this only for show?
Where are the ballots from voters that voted multiple times?
Where are the ballots from voters that do not exist?
Where are the ballots from voters that are ineligible?
Where are the ballots that were never counted?
Where are the people that were turned away and never voted?
Not one case has gone that route. Why? This is the only way you will overturn an election. Prove invalid ballots and voter suppression. Is every ballot 'legal'? Do we 'assume' every vote was counted?
Shouting a lot isn't going to change an election. Neither will violence.
In the end, this is about people. Too many dumb dishonest voters voting for bad candidates. Too many dumb dishonest voters willing to participate in legalized voter fraud.
