Kari Lake promises to 'push the legal envelope' in ballot-chasing announcement after court loss

Source: Raw Story

Failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake teased another "huge announcement" before declaring at a press conference that she is planning to launch the largest "ballot-chasing" initiative in American history following her latest loss in court.

Lake, who is estimated to have cost her state's taxpayers more than $140,000 by litigating her faulty claims of election fraud, is fresh off yet another defeat after a Maricopa County Superior Court judge ruled against her, finding that she fell short of showing in court that the race she lost for governor had actually been stolen.

After the loss, she said she would be revealing a "huge announcement" on Tuesday. Numerous commenters said they hope she's not filing yet another appeal of her failed election claims.

At her press conference, Lake announced she has millions of dollars and thousands of volunteers to launch the largest ballot-chasing initiative ever. Ballot chasing typically refers to a program in which voters who receive ballots get follow-up visits by those seeking to ensure those votes are submitted and counted.

We're going to send a bunch of people to knock on doors and ask about how they voted.

I think there was a case this year of a campaign door knocker getting shot.

People on here need to know the seriousness of what the right are capable of. Especially when it comes to retaliation.

I think that’s been her only goal all along going by the theory that any publicity is good publicity.

I'm thinking that they may be clandestine, and have direct roots in the same Nazi movement that arose in Europe in the 1930's.

Results of this initiative:

Of 10,000 houses canvassed:
2500 voted for "Kari Lake, the legitimate winner of the 2022 governor election."
7500 voted for "Get the fuck off my property right now or I'll let you meet my Presa Canario dog, who's already eaten three Kari Lake push pollers and is still hungry."

Since "Get the fuck off my property right now or I'll let you meet my Presa Canario dog, who's already eaten three Kari Lake push pollers and is still hungry" was not on the ballot in November 2022, it goes without saying that Kari Lake won the election!

For the love of Cthulhu will the court system in Arizona PLEASE declare this woman a vexatious litigant?

...but at some point, the people who are supporting Lake with their money have to come to the realization that they're just a bunch of suckers who are willingly getting scammed by a grifter. It'll sting, but eventually, it will wear off.
