To the surprise of no one sane, the judge just ruled against Kari "The Nutjob" Lake and her demand to be named the winner after losing.
I believe all 4 crazy suits challenging the AZ election results have now been dismissed or defeated. Three will be appealed, but none is going anywhere. And sanctions for frivolous litigation are on the table in all 4 cases.
@RationalLeft I say, give all Cult45 candidates a megaphone and a bottle of red wine, 1.5l.
@RationalLeft would be great if she suffered some kind of consequence for this
@lmcboy The judge told the defense to file motions for sanctions by the end of business on Monday. Then we'll see.
She certainly did herself no favors politically, even though she clearly believes the opposite. Big Lie candidates lost every major race in every swing state - including her. Her response is to quadruple down on it in hopes of being Trump's running mate - as Trump falls to pieces.
Lake, btw, is now escalating her deranged rhetoric and claiming she won by "400,000 to 500,000 votes."
Kelly won by ~125,000 votes, 5%. So she's claiming she won by 20 points in an election she lost by 17,000 votes.
