"It's been a month and a half since the rigged election debacle in Arizona, and the fact that @KariLake is still standing alone in the fight for justice tells you everything you need to know about the GOP Swamp." - Monica Crowley, Twitter, 12-13-22.

The matter over the election results over the Katie Hobbs and Kari Lake Arizona gubernatorial election is picking up steam.

Lake filed a lawsuit over the election irregularities in Maricopa Count of Arizona that took place. Allegations include vote counting issues, whistleblowers and fraud by election officials.

Newsmax reported:

The judge presiding over Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake's electoral lawsuit has reportedly ordered Lake, Governor-elect Katie Hobbs (who's currently Arizona's secretary of state), and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to appear before the court.

On Tuesday, Judge Peter Thompson, wrote that the court has "reviewed" Lake's "verified statement of election contest" and pledged the "matter will be set on an accelerated basis."

Per Thompson's order, Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer and Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Gates will appear in court.

Lake's lawsuit might have garnered more steam in the last week, after whistleblower claims against electoral officials in Arizona became publicized.

"We've had three whistleblowers from Maricopa County reach out and say the system is seriously flawed," Lake reportedly stated Monday.

"[County officials] 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," alleged Lake.

Also, the Republican Lake estimated that 25,000 "additional ballots and early voting ballots were discovered two days after Election Day," while adding these ballots "just showed up."

This certainly is getting very interesting! While working on this blog post, I saw that the media covering this lawsuit cannot keep themselves from using disparaging language against Lake. So much for unbiased reporting.
