Kari Lake gets her trial. Now comes the hard part

Lake will go to court to prove that the election was not free and fair. The state of Arizona is still alive.

At this point.

A judge in the county ordered a trial on some of Lake's claims.

The hard part will come soon. She needs to prove that the election was fraudulent.

The judge had the power to order sanctions for frivolous claims.

Judge threw out all but 2 of Lake's claims

Lake was ecstatic over Monday's ruling, which she said was her " huge win".

She urged people to "buckle up Arizona".

Send money at the same time.

Lake asked a judge to declare her Arizona's new governor or to order a redo of the election she lost.

Most of her claims were thrown out on Monday by Judge Peter Thompson.

He ordered a trial on some of her claims. Specifically, that's right.

• On Election Day, the ballot-on-demand printers malfunctioned, and that enoughidentifiable votes were lost to cost her the election.

• Any failure by the county to maintain a proper chain of custody resulted in a changed outcome because employees at Runbeck Election Services illegally added ballots of family members.

Present actual evidence or face sanctions

It is put up or shut up for Lake.

She will need to bring the actual evidence if she wants to avoid sanctions.

There is no evidence before the court at the motion to dismiss stage. In order to prove that the printer malfunction was intentional and directed to affect the results of the election, a trial must be held.

The outcome was affected by intentional misconduct.

There are key facts in the election challenge.

It is a high bar.

Lake will have two days in court to prove her case and her attorney will be able to grill the Gov.-elect and the county recorder.

It should be interesting.

If she fails, will Lake accept election results?

Lake is not accusing anyone of a crime. She had a message for the people in charge of the elections.

She said that they had built a house of cards in the county. They're all wondering what I'm going to do. I will let you know that I am not going to knock that house of cards over. It is going to be burned to the ground.

She can't "burn it to the ground".

Lake is going to court to prove that she is the next Governor of Arizona.

Is that judge going to decide otherwise? Is there a plan to deny Lake her due?

She might accept the outcome if she loses.
