A lot of conservatives were impressed with the race that Republican Kari Lake ran for Arizona governor — particularly by the way she called out the media. The way I saw it, it was Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, only with less violence.
Arizonans were not as impressed, a fact that we all have to acknowledge at this point. Lake lost narrowly despite holding a lead in most polls and several apparent advantages, including her opponent's cowardice. Sometimes that just happens.
Election lawsuits can be appropriate in some cases, but Lake's 70-page lawsuit will accomplish no more than the failed federal lawsuit that Abrams brought after her loss. Although election officials in Arizona did make mistakes and have admitted at least to some of them, the most prominent one was fixed, and even that one was not on a scale that would come close to overturning Lake's loss.
