It's gratifying to see that Arizona Gov.-elect Katie Hobbs and other Arizona officials acted swiftly yesterday to seek sanctions against Trumpist election denier, conspiracy monger and loser Kari "Shallow" Lake for her frivolous and dishonest challenge of Arizona's election results. Lake, who lost by over 17,000 votes, came to Maricopa County superior court unprepared to offer any evidence of fraud or deliberate sabotage of ballots, causing the judge to throw her case out Saturday and Hobbs to file suit against Lake:
"Attorneys for Hobbs, who has been Arizona's secretary of state for four years, joined the county in its filing Monday seeking $25,050 from Lake, which includes attorney fees for Hobbs and the state’s most populous county. The county took aim at Lake’s remarks before the election indicating she would not accept the results unless she won, as well as her 'groundless' and 'frivolous' lawsuit after the election was certified.
'Before a single vote was counted in the 2022 general election, Kari Lake publicly stated that she would accept the results of the gubernatorial election only if she were the winning candidate,' the county said in the filing.
'But she has not simply failed to publicly acknowledge the election results. Instead, she filed a groundless, seventy-page election contest lawsuit against the Governor-Elect, the Secretary of State, and Maricopa County and several of its elected officials and employees (but no other county or its employees), thereby dragging them and this Court into this frivolous pursuit.'” (our emphasis)
As with her mentor and cult leader the Malignant Loser, Lake's own mouth was her worst enemy, including when she told Republican supporters of the late Sen. John McCain to "get the hell out" at a campaign event before the election. They did, and she lost. It's a good bet she'll lose this latest suit, too, and Arizona would be the better for it.
