TL/DR –
Republican candidates Kari Lake and Mark Finchem continue to lose court cases tied to their unproven claims of election fraud. Despite these losses, they continue to promote their theories, which garners them attention and donations from their supporters. Both Lake and Finchem are facing potential disciplinary action, and their attorneys have faced sanctions for pursuing cases without legal merit.
Republican Candidates Kari Lake and Mark Finchem’s Continued Election Fraud Claims
Despite repeated court losses, Republican candidates Kari Lake and Mark Finchem persist in their unfounded fraud accusations regarding their election defeats. This strategy appears to be a ploy to win elections by continually asserting deep-state conspiracies and stolen elections.
While this tactic requires no work, political knowledge, or understanding of public policy, it successfully garners attention and donations from their supporters. It fuels the fantasies of the MAGA faithful, who believe they are fighting a ‘good fight’.
Lake and Finchem’s Failed Court Cases
Despite numerous court losses, Lake and Finchem continue to push their 2022 election fantasies. The U.S. Supreme Court recently declined to hear another case from the pair, who hope for a new trial.
Among the notable losses, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed their attempt to ban voting machines, resulting in six-figure sanctions for their attorneys due to lack of evidence.
The Consequences of Unfounded Claims
Finchem has faced sanctions before for his baseless lawsuits, with judges stating that the cases lack legal merit. Lake’s attorneys are also facing potential disciplinary action.
Despite these losses, Lake continues to gain support from the MAGA masses every time her cases are dismissed. This strategy mirrors Donald Trump’s election approach and underpins Lake’s U.S. Senate campaign and Finchem’s state Legislature bid.
