First, that Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson wrongly decided the issue of whether Maricopa County officials followed Arizona law concerning signature verification on an \u201coutcome determinative\u201d number of mail-in ballots. Hobbs defeated Lake by about 17,000 votes, or 0.7 percent of the 2.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/zuckerberg-used-a-tax-exempt-foundation-to-help-biden-fix-the-2020-election\/\" title=\"Zuckerberg Used a Tax-Exempt Foundation to Help Biden Fix the 2020 Election\">59 million votes cast<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>At trial last month, an expert witness for Lake testified that based on his examination of computer user logs he determined that approximately 70,000 mail-in ballots were reviewed for signature matches in less than two seconds. And that seven of the ballot reviewers had a 100 percent approval rate.<\/p>\n<p>The second issue Lake\u2019s notice of appeal points to is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kari-lake-appeals-election-challenge-case-we-are-not-stopping\/\" title=\"Kari Lake vows to continue election challenge: 'We won't quit'\">widespread voting machine problems<\/a> at polling locations throughout the county on Election Day. Thompson denied Lake\u2019s attorneys\u2019 request to present at trial what they characterized as new evidence concerning the issue.<\/p>\n<p>Hours-long lines formed at multiple voting locations throughout Maricopa County on Election Day as tabulators would not accept ballots because the bar codes were not properly aligned. Republicans outvoted Democrats 3 to 1 that day, so the malfunction impacted their ability to vote more.<\/p>\n<p>Lake stated that she does not plan to stop her election challenge with just the Arizona court system. \u201cWe want to take this case to the United States Supreme Court,\u201d Lake said. \u201cI hear they\u2019re interested in it. They realize our country is being torn apart. The fabric of our country is just torn apart right now. And they want an election case, and I think we\u2019ve got the perfect one to bring to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo whatever happens here in Arizona with our judges, I hope to God that they feel that hand of God pressing down on them.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Related:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kari-lake-throws-gauntlet-see-tough-debate-behind-keyboard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kari Lake Throws Down Gauntlet: &#8216;See How Tough You Are Behind a Keyboard&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kari-lake-learns-fate-final-election-challenge-lawsuit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kari Lake Learns Fate in Final Election Challenge Lawsuit<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/lake-attorneys-closing-argument-least-70k-votes-not-verified-election-must-set-aside\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lake Attorneys in Closing Argument: At Least 70K Votes Not Verified, Election Must Be Set Aside<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican Kari Lake filed an appeal challenging Democratic Gov.
