'She's delusional': Kari Lake asks AZ Supreme Court to declare her state governor despite election loss

In a last-ditch effort to make herself the head of Arizona’s executive branch, election-denier Kari Lake this week asked the state’s highest court to reverse the 2022 election and declare that she, not Katie Hobbs, is the lawful governor of the Grand Canyon State. Lake, who lost the 2022 election by some 17,000 votes but continuously claims to be the “lawful governor” of Arizona, on Friday filed a petition with the Arizona Supreme Court to overturn lower court rulings and allow her to present “new evidence” that Maricopa County improperly ran its election.

The basis of Lake’s incredibly long-shot claim is that the county allegedly failed to conduct required “logic and accuracy” testing on its vote tabulators. “Thus, Maricopa testified falsely and argued misleadingly about its violations of election law throughout this litigation,” the suit states.

“If Maricopa had properly conducted L & testing as it falsely testified it had, the testing would have identified — and thus prevented — the 2022 Election Day chaos.” The crux of Lake’s purported new evidence relies on claims from a “cyber expert” named Clay Parikh, who is also an adamant proponent of the false claim that the 2020 election was not valid.

She requested that the court order another election or jettison more than 275,000 early ballots in Maricopa County, which she claims could not have had their signatures verified in accordance with state law. “The Court could either set aside the election or proportionally strike 275,000 ballots,” the petition states. “Because Hobbs eclipsed Lake by more than 10% of Maricopa’s early voting, under (Grounds v. Lawe), Lake would win.”

1. I am confused - isn't she running for senate?

Or is that her backup plan?

[Attilatheblond]

5. Yes, and yes

also, she is a washed up local FOX propaganda reader who is way past her Best By date and desperate for work.

[SWBTATTReg]

2. What a sore loser. She should never be allowed to run for any office in AZ.

[Attilatheblond]

6. She should be in a mental hospital

[Rebl2]

19. She has

obsessed over this for so many years, I think it’s had an effect on her brain.

[SWBTATTReg]

24. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? She is obsessive to the Nth degree. She's lost, period. GET OVER IT.

[tanyev]

3. Why stop there, Kari?

See if they'll declare you Queen of Heaven and Earth and all the Universe. Get yourself a sash and a crown and a scepter and go visit your domain.

[brush]

4. Something is wrong with her. Maybe it's the same brain worm RFK jr. has.

One thing though, she never gives up. She'd make a good bloodhound.

[GiqueCee]

12. If it IS the worm...

... that little bugger cleaned its plate.
Maybe Lake thinks that looking pretty on camera is sufficient proof that she should be governor. I think that she's carved out of the same turd as Trump, and thinks that relentless pursuit of a irretrievably lost cause will somehow alter reality and she can take her rightful place as queen of the loonies.
I think Goebbels said something to the effect of, telling a bald-faced lie often enough makes it true in the minds of the mindless.
Lake will be wearing blown out sneakers on the wrong feet, pushing a shopping cart full of her treasures, and screaming. "I WON!" at lampposts before long.

[brush]

15. Heehee. I like you last sentence and fortcast for her future.

[Scruffy1]

7. Her lawyers need to reprimanded.

She has wasted tons of taxpayers dollars on her BS. It must be magat thing tp abuse process. The case has already been adjudicated more than once. or maybe it's just a way to get more donation from some senile donors.

[Demovictory9]

8. She is crazy

[CurtEastPoint]

9. durn, I am as tired of her as I am of Dump

[Hope22]

10. Send her to the hospital already!

Done, she’s cooked!

[Warpy]

11. She's a total space cadet

The grounds for this are probably hilarious.

Not up to much text today.

[Ray Bruns]

13. And I demand that the Supreme Court declare me king of the world, emperor of the universe,

[slightlv]

14. This is really ballsy, IMO.

Ask the judge to just throw out the election because she didn't win. She's done this before and been told to sit down. She and her lawyers have even been fined because of it, if I remember correctly. But she's a true Trump prodigy. Just keep on suing until someone gets so tired of her they give her what she wants just so she goes away. I hope she not only loses this, but gets a good monetary judgement against her from the judge, and then loses anything she ever tries to run for again. Maybe if she loses enough, she'll understand the people are just not into her!

[catbyte]

16. She reminds me of Norma Desmond more every day.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

17. This a rehearsal for when T***p loses in November.

Does anyone doubt his defeat will trigger an immediate demand to have the results reversed? Unfortunately, the Roberts court -- after deliberating less than an hour -- will grant the motion.

[Jacson6]

18. Kari is a teleprompter reader.

She has no training in the law or legal procedures. She has a bachelor in communications degree.

IMHO.

[AZLD4Candidate]

20. Declare me He-Man, the Master of the Universe! Please, AZ Supreme Court. I want to be He-Man!

[Yavin4]

21. I hereby petition the AZ Supreme Court to make me the King of France.

I would also like a castle in Nice. Thank you very much.

[wackadoo wabbit]

22. Doesn't she realize that if she's governor, she can't run for the Senate seat?

Arizona law prohibits running for one office while you're already holding another.

I guess that even she doesn't believe that she won the gubernatorial race.

[JohnnyRingo]

23. So Lake is attempting voter restriction post election?

She wants votes thrown out that she thinks are mostly blue.
Most republicans do that before the election.
