Kari Lake Trial: Surprise! Judge Finds No ‘Evidence’ of Election Day Misconduct
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson issued a verdict Saturday ruling against the claims of GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s lawsuit challenging the election results of the Arizona governor’s race and accusing her Democratic opponent Katie Hobbs and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors of election misconduct.
In his ruling, Judge Thompson did not find any “clear and convincing” evidence of the two counts he was willing to consider in Lake’s ten-count filing: 1) that printer and tabulator malfunctions contributed to misconduct impacting the result of the election; and 2) ballot chain of custody violations were in violation of state law and that such misconduct impacted the results of the election.
The court’s ruling further ordered the “timely” confirmation of Hobbs as Arizona governor-elect on January 2.
The verdict comes on the heels of a fast-paced, two-day evidentiary trial hel
