LAKE TRIAL: 42.5% Ballots Examined Were Illegal, Caused Mass Machine Failures On Election Day
During Arizona Republican candidate Kari Lake’s election lawsuit trial against Democrat Secretary of State Katie Hobbs on Wednesday, a review found that 42.5% of examined ballots cast during the gubernatorial race were revealed to have contained a one inch discrepancy — causing widespread mechanical failures on Election Day, Lake’s legal team argues.
According to Lake’s legal team following the ballot examination, 48 out of 113 ballots were found to be “19-inch ballots produced on 20-inch paper,” a one-inch discrepancy that Lake’s team argues caused “chaos on Election Day” by “causing the mass rejection” of votes by tabulation machines.

48 of 113 ballots reviewed during our examination were 19-inch ballots produced on 20-inch paper.
This one-inch discrepancy cause chaos on Election day. Causing the mass rejection of these votes as they were attempted to be read through the tabulators.
“This Is how they disenfranchised Maricopa County voters on Election Day. The ballots were designed to be unable to be read through the machines. This wasn’t an error. It was malice. The process worked exactly as they intended it to,” they added.
Clay Parikh, an election expert tapped by Lake’s legal team to provide testimony of the examined ballots, said that 14 out of the 15 ballots he examined contained the one-inch discrepancy.
He also testified that it could not be by accident!
⚠️This is potentially huge damning evidence of intentional election programming failures!

Parikh noted that the discrepancy could not have been done by accident and that it was his professional opinion that it was caused intentionally.
???? Watch ????
The Co-Elections Director for Maricopa County refuses to accept responsibility for the countywide failures on Election Day.
Falsely asserts the people impacted by problems at voting centers could simply "go somewhere else."
During the trial, Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer was put on the stand to testify and subsequently admitted that early voting ballots were counted outside of voting centers on Election Day.
According Richer’s testimony, boxes of ballots were sent out to a location ran by a third party, where county election officials would count them. The revelation, Lake’s team argues, is a violation of state election law.
