More than six months after losing a bid to be Arizona's governor, former Republican candidate Kari Lake lost another court battle Monday in her effort to overturn Democrat Katie Hobbs' victory.

In a 6-page ruling, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson ruled that Lake had not provided evidence of misconduct in the county's signature-verification procedures for early ballots.

Lake, a former TV anchor and prominent election denier, lost last year's gubernatorial race by 17,117 votes and alleged the victory was marred by misconduct and illegal votes.....

Thompson, who was appointed by former Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, found no "clear and convincing evidence or a preponderance of evidence that such misconduct was committed by 'an officer making or participating in a canvas,'" according to the ruling.

He also found no evidence that alleged misconduct affected the election's outcome.

There's a constant circus of jiggery-pokery from them at every single election. Reducing polling hours and locations. Moving the remaining locations around with no advance warning. Refusing to accept voter initiative petitions because they're not in official format, even though they were obtained from the government in the first place. GOP operatives fooling around in the election computer center. Armed thugs loitering around ballot drop off boxes and polls. Cyber Ninjas. Cari Lake.
On and on...
