here is a bit of evidence showing why americans have no trust in elections or in the legal system;

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson issued a verdict Saturday ruling against the claims of GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s lawsuit challenging the election results of the Arizona governor’s race and accusing her Democratic opponent Katie Hobbs and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors of election misconduct.

In his ruling, Judge Thompson did not find any “clear and convincing” evidence of the two counts he was willing to consider in Lake’s ten-count filing: 1) that printer and tabulator malfunctions contributed to misconduct impacting the result of the election; and 2) ballot chain of custody violations were in violation of state law and that such misconduct impacted the results of the election.

The court’s ruling further ordered the “timely” confirmation of Hobbs as Arizona governor-elect on January 2.

The verdict comes on the heels of a fast-paced, two-day evidentiary trial held in Maricopa Superior Court to determine if the changes in printer settings and tabulator errors that occurred in roughly 59 percent of polling centers throughout Maricopa County — home to 60 percent of the state’s voters — on Election Day made it impossible for some voters to cast their ballots. The county says the “root cause” of the printer malfunctions is being investigated.

But as Lake’s attorney Kurt Olsen, pointed out: “Why are we doing a root cause analysis now if the modification had arisen in three prior elections? It doesn’t make sense.”

Judge Thompson’s ruling acknowledged the “anger and frustration” of voters who were “inconvenienced” in the election. He noted that setting aside the results “has never been done in the history of the United States,” according to the Los Angeles Times........more........
