After repeated court losses, Kari Lake now plans to take her 2022 elections case to the Supreme Court, alongside failed Arizona Secretary of State candidate Mark Finchem. Lake, who is currently running for US Senate while struggling to get the moderate McCain Republicans to vote for her, still has not accepted her loss to Governor Katie Hobbs despite the myriad of court cases she has lost saying so.

Lake has now petitioned the highest court in the land to take up her and Finchem's case, which seeks to ban the use of machines to count ballots in two Arizona counties. Her case also seeks the court to force election officials to do a hand count of the ballots.

The two failed Republican candidates filed the suit in April 2022. They alleged that the counties of Maricopa and Pima used "hackable" electronic ballot tabulators and that the courts should have placed an injunction against their use before the 2022 midterm elections where both Lake and Finchem lost their respective races.

After they lost, both failed candidates filed lawsuits seeking to overturn the results. However, in both cases, neither of them could prove their claims, leading to their cases being thrown out and even having their lawyers sanctioned because they made claims unsupported by facts or evidence.

As the Arizona Mirror pointed out, an attorney for the two failed Republican candidates had to admit that they "had no evidence to support their claims that tabulation equipment or any voting equipment in the state had been hacked."

This is because tabulators in Arizona are not connected to the internet and paper ballots are used across the entire state. Despite these repeated losses, Lake and Finchem still asked the Supreme Court to overturn the lower court's decision.

How Did Kari Lake and Mike Finchem Lose Their Case?

According to the Arizona Daily Star., their case was previously rejected by Judge John Tuchi, who wrote that their argument was a "long chain of hypothetical contingencies'' that have never occurred in Arizona. This led to them taking the case to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals which also rejected their claims after finding that the machines used in Arizona to count ballots had actually ever been hacked.

Despite losing all those cases in the lower courts because of lack of evidence, Finchem and Lake are now claiming they have new evidence, and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is saying that this new evidence "will shock the world."

'New Evidence' Claimed by Kari Lake and Mark Finchem Are Nothing New, Says Expert

During a livestream on X, Lindell stated that there was "explosive" and "shocking" new evidence in the case. He also revealed that his Lindell Defense Fund paid for the original suit.

Despite this, however, with Lindell not being a credible source having lost so many lawsuits on lack of evidence himself, the case is considered a longshot, with Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer telling Arizona Central that there was "nothing new" in the case.

"Same old crazy. Zero percent chance the United States Supreme Court decides to spend its very limited time on something so crazy that it got sanctioned to the tune of $100,000-plus at the trial court level," Richer said.

The outlet also pointed out that the argument that Lake and Finchem are making with this new "evidence" is virtually the same case that was thrown out in regard to Donald Trump's failed 2020 election attempt, which includes the same arguments such as altered software, faulty testing, and coverups, all of which have been previously rejected by the courts.
