Lesson from Cheeto: An electoral loss isn't a loss, it's a chance to litigate

Kari Lake has absorbed that lesson at Cheeto's knee.

Kari Lake declines to concede, says she’s assembling legal team

Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake (R) declined to concede governor race to Democrat Katie Hobbs Thursday, raising concerns about the election process.

The Associated Press and other outlets projected that Hobbs won the race on Monday. But Lake indicated she is assembling a legal team that is “collecting evidence and data” pertaining to the electoral process.

Not to worry; Lake may involve lawyers, but, like Cheeto, she'll never stop whining.

From the NY Times via The Seattle Times -

Kari Lake claims her voters were disenfranchised. Her voters tell a different story

 When he stepped inside a Phoenix polling place on the morning of Election Day on the way to work, Kevin Bembry was told that the tabulation machines were not functioning properly and he might want to vote somewhere else.

“I’ve never had that happen before,” Bembry, 57, a security officer, said in a

 

video later posted online.

Lake has vowed to keep fighting the election after her race was called by

 

The Associated Press for her Democratic opponent, Katie Hobbs. Lake has claimed

 

her defeat was the result of the “disenfranchisement” of her supporters in

 

Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix and where technical problems on

 

Election Day introduced delays, confusion and conspiracy theories. On Twitter,

 

Lake’s campaign has claimed that the election was compromised and said that

 

“the appropriate thing to do would be to let Maricopa County cast their votes again.”

But a crucial element has been missing so far in all of these accounts: clear claims

 

that any eligible voters in Maricopa County were actually denied the chance to vote.

The video the campaign circulated of Bembry, for instance, was an edited version

 

of a longer video posted on the site Rumble. In the full video, he states that,

 

despite the inconvenience, he cast his ballot at a nearby polling site.

 

“I was able to vote — no waiting, no misreads of the tabulation machines, nothing,” he says.
