'We Have The Truth On Our Side': Kari Lake Takes The Next Step In Her Election Fight - The Arizona Supreme Court

Arizona's 2022 GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has filed an appeal to have her election challenge heard by the Arizona Supreme Court. The new challenge comes on the heels of the revelation that some 8,000 unreadable ballots were allegedly misconfigured by county authorities.

As reported by Just The News, Lake said on 'Just the News, No Noise,' last week, "This is, I believe, our best hope to get reform in our elections: my case. I believe it's the greatest election case. We have the truth on our side. We have tons of evidence. Yes, we haven't had a judge rule in our favor. But it takes a lot of courage to make the right ruling on this case."

The text of the appeal explains the misconfiguration of the ballots,

"The ballot-on-demand printer investigation report by former Chief Justice McGregor (“the McGregor Report”) found that “four printers randomly printed one or a few ‘fit to page’ ballots in the middle of printing a batch of ballots…[n]one of the technical people with whom we spoke could explain how or why that error occurred.” Appx:0281 (emphasis added). Lake’s expert testified this “error” could only result from malware or remote access and resulted in at least 8,000 misconfigured ballots, the vast majority of which were neither duplicated nor counted. Appx:0085-86, 92 (Parikh Decl. ¶¶36- 39, 49)."

It further notes that experts testifying before the previous case stated, "this 'error' could only result from malware or remote access and resulted in at least 8,000 misconfigured ballots, the vast majority of which were neither duplicated nor counted," under oath.

The Kari Lake War Room tweeted a clip of an appearance of her being interviewed by Conrad Reynolds. She explained, "We have the evidence. Unlike the fake news, 'There's no evidence!' Well, I can't help it if you as a journalist aren't doing your job by actually looking at the evidence, there's plenty of it. And guess where it comes from? Maricopa County elections. That's where we got our evidence. And evidence from voters who were caught up in this mess. And we have sworn declarations & we have world renowned experts speaking about our evidence. So there's plenty of evidence the propagandists choose not to see it."

Furthermore, Lake's new appeal brings to light the claim that "Responding to Lake’s motion, Maricopa admitted, seven months after the fact, that after L&A testing, they swapped out the memory cards and the election software on Maricopa’s 446 vote center tabulators and installed “reformatted” cards purportedly containing the previously certified election program. Appx:0330-31 (Jarrett Decl. ¶¶14-15). Maricopa never disclosed this before responding to Lake’s motion. Maricopa did not perform L&A testing in accordance with A.R.S. § 16- 449(A) after installing these reformatted cards on the 446 tabulators. Id. Further, Lake’s legal team continued analyzing the 30+ million log entries after the Rule 60(b) Motion was filed."

Crucially it explains,

"The logs show that Maricopa was warned the election database on the reformatted memory cards failed to match the election domain—which Maricopa did not correct—"

And, "In addition, the system warned Maricopa that the tabulator Machine Behavior Settings (“MBS”) which govern how the tabulators interpret ballots, employed the 4 “Wrong” software version, “5.10.9.4”, when the “expect[ed]” version the tabulator was programmed with was “5.10.3.4”—an error Maricopa did not correct"

And finally, "the Arizona Secretary of State has only certified Dominion software version 5.5B for use in Arizona elections. The above-described 5.10 Dominion software version actually used by Maricopa shown above is not certified for use in Arizona, thus was unlawfully employed. A.R.S. § 16-442. The foregoing faults means there is no way to know if the votes cast or tabulated were correctly recorded."

Simply put, the election tabulation system was never actually certified in any legally acceptable fashion as it was on election day. Thus making all results from that system legally invalid.
