BREAKING: Supreme Court Rejects Arizona Election Integrity Case Without Comment

Without comment, The Supreme Court has just dismissed an election integrity case in Arizona.

The case was brought forth by Senate candidate Kari Lake and former Arizona secretary of state candidate Mark Finchem.

They alleged that voting machines should not be allowed because of glaring reliability issues.

Their argument included expert testimony that there were some HUGE problems with voting machines during the 2020 election.

The Washington Examiner reported on the Supreme Court’s refusal to hear the case:

The U.S. Supreme Court has opted not to hear Kari Lake’s voting machine lawsuit, spelling further trouble for the former Arizona gubernatorial candidate’s lawsuit.

The lawsuit had been filed by Lake and former Arizona secretary of state candidate Mark Finchem, who argued in their court filing that they had sufficiently argued that all Arizona-certified optical scanners and ballot marking devices “have been wrongly certified for use.” Prior to the Supreme Court declining to take up the case, the lawsuit was rejected by a federal judge in 2022, with that decision affirmed by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in October 2023.

“We are obviously disappointed that the U.S. Supreme Court decided not to review the decisions of the Arizona district court and the Ninth Circuit, and order that our challenge to the 2022 election procedures be heard on the merits,” a Monday statement from Kurt Olsen, one of Lake’s attorneys, said.

AP added:

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to consider a request by Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake to ban the use of electronic vote-counting machines in Arizona.

Lake and former Republican secretary of state candidate Mark Finchem filed suit two years ago, repeating unfounded allegations about the security of machines that count votes. They relied in part on testimony from Donald Trump supporters who led a discredited review of the election in Maricopa County, including Doug Logan, the CEO of Cyber Ninjas, who oversaw the effort described by supporters as a “forensic audit.”

U.S. District Judge John Tuchi in Phoenix ruled that Lake and Finchem lacked standing to sue because they failed to show any realistic likelihood of harm. He later sanctioned their attorneys for bringing a claim based on frivolous information.
