Rejected twice by federal judges in their effort to stop the use of electronic voting machines, Republican candidates for office Kari Lake and Mark Finchem have now taken their case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Lawyers for Lake, who is running for U.S. Senate, and Finchem, who is seeking a state Senate seat, filed a 210-page petition with the nation's top court last week asking it to consider their case. The duo challenges the use of electronic machines that count votes, alleging they are hackable and not properly tested.

Their arguments, first made in 2022 when Lake was a Republican candidate for Arizona governor and Finchem a GOP candidate for secretary of state, have been repeatedly rejected as lacking evidence. Dominion Voting Systems, which manufactures the machines used in Maricopa County and in many other states, won a colossal settlement in a defamation case against Fox News last year related to similar false claims.

Lake narrowly lost to Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, and Finchem was handily defeated by Democrat Adrian Fontes. Yet nearly two years later, Lake and Finchem revived their calls for a "do-over."

1. They are truly awful morons.

The SCOTUS needs to reject the stupidity. IF they take the case, there will be no doubt left of their fascist intentions.

4. "...stop the use of electronic voting machines"

And instead…what? Count by hand? 155 MILLION ballots? With maybe 6 candidates and multiple bond issues on each ballot? Think of the logistics and costs of doing that!!!

And these are the clowns who want election results as soon as the polls close.
