Maricopa County Attorney Argues That Voters Who Wait Until Election Day to Vote Then Encounter Problems Reap What They Sow

 During day 2 of the Kari Lake election trial in Phoenix, Arizona, Maricopa County attorney Tom Liddy argued that it was "political malpractice" for a campaign to tell voters to vote in person on election day instead of voting early.

  • During his closing argument, Liddy said:
  • “You reap what you sow” meaning that Lake’s campaign lost because of strategy, not because of a printer malfunction error that rendered the ballots incapable of being machine read.

We've gotta get back to respecting elections

  • Americans believe in choosing our own rulers, governors, mayors, and presidents through elections.
  • Donald Trump has a warped understanding of what makes us Americans, and an even more warped view of what we're voting for when we cast our ballots.

What exactly does counsel mean by "without evidence"?

  • Because he doesn't agree with the evidence doesn't mean that there is no evidence.
  • On Wednesday, we learned that a printer setting error caused 42.5% of the ballots examined by Lake's team to be invalid, because they were 19-inch ballots produced on 20-inch paper
  • The printer setting changes that caused the shrink-to-fit issue were enacted on Election Day
  • Closing arguments wrapped up around 5:30 PM Arizona time, and Judge Peter Thompson will take the matter under advisement and issue a ruling "forthwith."
