Kari Lake’s Attorney Makes HUGE Announcement

On Friday, attorneys for Kari Lake appeared in the Maricopa County Superior Court for oral argument alongside lawyers from Katie Hobbs, Adrian Fontes, and Maricopa County. Judge Peter Thompson was tasked with addressing Count Three regarding fraudulent signature verification that had been remanded to trial by the Arizona Supreme Court, as well as determining whether or not to dismiss Defendants’ Motions and Kari Lake’s Motion for Relief from Judgement concerning Count Two of illegal tabulator and printer failures at 60% of voting locations on election day. To this end, three days of trial have been scheduled beginning on the 17th.

During the session, Maricopa County lawyer Tim La Rue conceded that signature verification is a subjective process which depends largely upon whoever is reviewing it at any given time; he remarked that it is “something of an art” not based on exact science.

During the conference, Lake attorney Kurt Olsen stated,

Olsen: We had alleged in our opening brief that the defendants secretly tested all 446 tabulators after the October 11 certification for logic and accuracy. Those tests, the system log files and other documents, received later, confirm that 260 of those tabulators failed, 58% of the tabulators. I would note in our complaint that based on the testimony of two over 200 witnesses who were voters at the vote centers, we pled, and this is in our reply, that equated to 59% of Maricopa County’s vote centers experienced severe malfunctions with their tabulators. It may be a coincidence, Your Honor, but it’s certainly a very close one at that. When you have 260 of 446 tabulators, which is 58%, failing a test, and then a similar percentage of vote centers failing a test before the election, in other words, they were going to malfunction, and then after the election, there’s a debacle on election day as we know. Maricopa submitted a declaration in response to that motion by Mr. [Scott] Jarrett. They now revealed for the first time that after the October 11 certification for logic and accuracy, we realized that we didn’t configure the vote center tabulators to not accept provisional ballots and not early ballots. So we went in, we rewrote the memory cards, overrode the memory cards, installed what they said was previously approved election definition software. They totally reconfigured these machines under 16-449, It mandates that whenever something like that is done, the logic and accuracy test must be performed again. It states that both the automatic voting tabulating equipment and the software need to be tested. That voided all of these tabulators, all 446 were voided. you layer on top of the fact that over 260 of them, 58% failed, and then you get to election day. Then there was this debacle on election day at 59% of the vote centers. Your honor, the two situations before the failure on election day, the number of violations of the statute, that’s clear misconduct and intent. This evidence would support our allegation that this election was rigged, and this evidence justifies a relief from the judgment. And there’s much more detail in the paper, your honor, but I just want to add one more thing. The situation that Justice McGregor where the printers started randomly printing one or a few fit to print printers and nobody could explain why, that’s damning, Your Honor. As Mr. Parikh testified, only two things, malware or remote access.
