John,

Kari Lake’s election lawsuit ended with a final trial on Thursday.

Lake’s legal team focused on issues with printed ballots at some of the
polling places, however, they were unable to prove the intentional
disenfranchisement of Republican voters.

Much like in the 2020 election, Maricopa county, Arizona, was much of the
focus as it houses a majority of the state’s voting population.

Via Jacques Billeaud, the AP:

“Her attorneys pointed to a witness who examined ballots on behalf of her
campaign and discovered 14 ballots that had 19-inch images of the ballot
printed on 20-inch paper, meaning the ballots wouldn’t be read by a
tabulator.”

“They say about 1,200 ballots were affected by turning on the feature and
that those ballots were duplicated so that they could be read by a
tabulator. Ultimately, these ballots were counted, officials said.”

Another loose claim made by Lake’s team was by a witness relying on exit
polling as a definitive measure of those that were “unable” to vote on
election day. However, this measure was claimed simply by those who did
not finish the process of the exit poll itself.

These claims were a part of 10 claims originally brought forth in the
lawsuit, 8 of which were dismissed by the judge in this case, Peter
Thompson.

Overall, lawyers in the state, as well as election officials do not
believe the evidence brought forth in the case proves any intentional
tampering or ill will on the part of the defense.

Kari Lake is simply one part of a larger movement to discredit the
election process, as well as challenging losses when they occur for MAGA
Republicans only.

Just as in the case of Donald Trump, no sufficient evidence has been
offered to substantiate the claims made about election interference or
“stealing” votes.

John, it's going to take all of us to fight back against the
ongoing efforts of MAGA-Republicans to undermine American Democracy.
