Judge Orders Kari Lake and Katie Hobbs to Appear at Emergency Court Hearing Over Election Lawsuit

By Jack Phillips, The Epoch Times, December 13, 2022 Updated: December 14, 2022

A judge overseeing Republican Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s electoral lawsuit ordered Lake, Secretary of State and Arizona Gov.-elect Katie Hobbs, Maricopa County Board of Supervisors officials, and others to appear at a court hearing on Tuesday.

Judge Peter Thompson, in issuing the (pdf) order, wrote that the court has “reviewed” Lake’s “verified statement of election contest” and said the “matter will be set on an accelerated basis.” Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer and Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Gates were also ordered to attend the hearing, which will start at 2 p.m. ET.

It comes as Lake stated Monday that her lawsuit is, in part, fueled by alleged whistleblower claims who have come forward.

“We’ve had three whistleblowers from Maricopa County reach out and say the system is seriously flawed,” Lake told Just the News on Monday, days after the suit was filed with a Maricopa County court. “They were throwing out tens of thousands of signatures saying they were scribbles that in no way matched. But somewhere between there, the ballots were being completely tossed out and they got looped back into the system and counted as if they were fine.”

Lake said that about 25,000 “additional ballots and early voting ballots were discovered two days after Election Day,” adding that they “just showed up.” She continued: “It shows the whole system has serious problems.”

“We believe that up to 135,000 ballots were pushed through that should not have been pushed through,” Lake added, without elaborating. “We’re asking a judge to let us take a look at all of the envelopes and compare signatures, so that we can find out for sure how many bad, fraudulent ballots got through in that way, of basically cheating or breaking the rules.”

The Epoch Times has contacted Maricopa County’s election division about Lake’s claims on Monday.
Reactions

Maricopa County spokesman Fields Moseley told Reuters that the court system is the appropriate venue for campaigns to challenge election results. Moseley stated that Maricopa’s election division “looks forward to sharing facts about the administration of the 2022 General Election and our work to ensure every legal voter had an opportunity to cast their ballot.”

Sophia Solis, a spokesperson for the secretary of state’s office, told The Associated Press that Lake’s lawsuit was being reviewed.

In her lawsuit (pdf) filed Dec. 9, Lake is asking to be declared the winner of the race or for a new vote to be held in Maricopa County, the state’s most populous. Gov.-elect Katie Hobbs, the Democrat secretary of state, last month narrowly defeated Lake in the general election by about 17,000 votes.

How long will the world tolerate election fraud on massive scales? Citizens can “protest” all they want. Nothing will change as long as the criminals go unpunished and ALLOWED to rule tyrannically.

This is an example, now recognized by the Federal Elected Representatives as awareness of infiltration, bribery, domination by the Communist China Party Government’s policy of Communist Manifesto is the process for international expansion. __ The situation now made aware as follows is the confirmation of the need for complete de-coupling with the covert and increasingly overt awareness of the predatory approach of the Communist China Party Government. – e,g – __ The defaming by, a finally proven cabal of political intrigue will remain a source for the same or similar cabals of mistruth including foreign governments and institutions; such as the Communist China Party Government. __ It is important to remember the process of international Communism is defined in the Centuries long “Communist Manifesto” – with the approach of infiltration; bribery, domination. __ It appears the infiltration is well seated in the Pulitzer Prize process of the Communist Profile after infiltration; bribery is the usual next stage and must be reviewed with a standard approach of “follow the money”. __ The final Communist Manifesto component of domination appears well seated as well. __ MikeSr.

Keep fighting Kari! Republicans at this point usually cave. That has happened too many times in the past. Its time to snatch a victory from the Dems for once.
