Legal Experts Roast Kari Lake's 'Poorly Written' Election Lawsuit

Legal experts are having a good laugh after taking a look at Kari Lake's lawsuit challenging the election results in Arizona. Not only do they describe it as "poorly written" from a legal perspective, but they also point out that she doesn't provide any evidence or make any factual claims in the suit. All of the suits like this have been thrown out of court so far, so it is unlikely that Lake's lawsuit will escape that same fate. Farron Cousins discusses this.

Yesterday failed Republican gubernatorial candidate. Carrie Lake appeared in court for the very first time, uh, as the initial proceedings begin for the lawsuit that her and another failed Republican candidate from Arizona, mark Finchem. Um, they've sued, of course, to overturn the state's election results. So yesterday was the first day that she appeared in court. I'm actually kind of shocked that that even happened because I thought for certain the judge would laugh this case right out before anybody even came into the courtroom. But maybe the judge just wanted to hear the ridiculousness that Carrie Lake and her legal team had to present. And by the way, me calling it ridiculousness, isn't me calling it that actual legal experts have looked at the 70 page lawsuit, and one of them actually said, here it is. This is a Jim Barton Democratic election attorney, uh, who said it is poorly written. Frankly, it's so long in meandering. I think the underlying claims are terrible, and the lawsuit is terrible. And it's frankly embarrassing that this kind of thing can be filed. It does not even come close to providing the level of specificity that you need to file a lawsuit.

So what's in the lawsuit? I'm glad you asked that question. A bunch of ridiculous claims by Carrie Lake that she cannot back up with any evidence. She claims that the voting machines were hacked. She also claims, um, hundreds of thousands of allegedly illegal ballots infected the election, hundreds of thousands. And nobody called on to this. Carrie Lakes the only one who knows that it exists. She's also the only one who knows that the voting machines were somehow hacked. Watch what you're saying there, Carrie, because you may end up on the wrong end of one of those voting machine company lawsuits. That's not going well for anybody that's been sued by them yet. So if I were, you probably wouldn't say that because they're out for blood and they're probably gonna get it. Um, but again, as the, uh, legal expert points out, there's no substance to any of this.

She, she's literally making stuff up. Another legal expert, Derek Mueller, professor of law at the University of Iowa College of Law said, I don't think this case will go very far and will probably be dismissed pretty quickly. She lost by a significant margin. There are very few specific details. There are lots of details that are trying to re-litigate the 2020 election. I was a little surprised at how much was just restating things from 2020. There's just not a great path forward based on the speculative kinds of claims that are being made in this complaint. Mueller also went on to add that he's a little shocked and he thinks it's very telling that Carrie Lake didn't actually hire election lawyers to file the lawsuit. One

Of the, the people she has representing her is Brian Blem, who was hired by the failed firm Cyber Ninjas in the so-called audit of the 2020 election. And then she has DC corporate and employment attorney Kurt Olson. So you got a guy that represented cyber ninjas and that didn't go well. Then you got a guy who's a labor lawyer, an employment lawyer, like what the hell does he even know about election law? I know it sounds weird, folks, but there's a reason lawyers have specialties, right? They they go to, you know, this kind of white collar corporate defense. They go to be a, you know, class action lawyer or a motor vehicle lawyer or a workman's comp lawyer. They have specialties because law is very complicated. You can't know everything about everything. And she hired a guy that knows nothing about anything.

Um, what is interesting as well is that the lawsuit, like the the beginning of the filing actually mentions a poll from Rasmussen asking people, do you think Carrie Lake's election was stolen? If she's using that as the basis of a lawsuit, like a majority of people that we poll, uh, sh said they think it's stolen. So I'm filing a lawsuit. Cool. That's awesome. That's not what a lawsuit can be based off of though.
