TL/DR –
Kari Lake, the failed Republican governor candidate from Arizona, continues to lose lawsuits and appeals in her attempts to overturn her 2022 election loss. A three-judge panel for Arizona’s Court of Appeals recently affirmed a lower court’s ruling that Lake’s attorneys failed to prove misconduct by Maricopa County election officials. Lake uses each loss to solicit more funds from supporters who believe her conspiracy theories, but these tactics are not considered winning.
Arizona’s Kari Lake Loses Again in Election Lawsuit Misadventure
British boxer Rockin’ Robin Deakin, known as “Britain’s Worst Boxer” for losing 51 straight bouts, has a rival in Kari Lake. The failed Republican governor candidate from Arizona, who is now a U.S. Senate candidate, continues losing lawsuit after lawsuit in her attempt to overturn her 2022 election loss.
In a recent development, a three-judge panel for Arizona’s Court of Appeals confirmed a lower court’s decision that Lake’s team failed to prove any misconduct by Maricopa County election officials.
Historic Losing Streaks Dwarfed by Lake’s Endeavors
Lake’s failures are making her a legend in a league of her own. The Louisville Colonels Major League Baseball team holds a record for losing 26 straight games in 1889. Lake’s string of losses makes them seem like slackers.
Even the National Football League’s Chicago Cardinals, who lost 29 games in a row between 1942 and 1945, can’t compare. Harold Stassen, who ran for the U.S. Presidency and lost nine times starting in the 1940s, at least had a stint as Minnesota’s governor under his belt.
Lake’s Losses a Spectacle in Arizona Politics
In terms of public losses, no one in Arizona compares to Lake. Using each defeat to raise more funds from her supporters, she’s turned into a political version of a cartoon character, persisting despite repeated failures.
For perspective, consider the Washington Generals’ comic basketball rivalry with the Harlem Globetrotters. The Generals haven’t won since 1971, amassing a losing streak of around 2,500 games. While Lake hasn’t reached that level of failure yet, she seems to be on track.
