    Insanity does have limits

    PHOENIX (AP) — A judge on Monday dismissed the only remaining legal claim in Republican Kari Lake’s challenge of her loss in last year's race for Arizona governor, affirming the election of Democrat Katie Hobbs.

    Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter A. Thompson said Lake failed to prove her claim that Maricopa County did not verify signatures on mail ballots as required by law.

    Lake was among the most vocal of last year’s Republican candidates promoting former President Donald Trump’s election lies, which she made the centerpiece of her campaign. She has built a loyal following among Trump supporters and is openly considering a run for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Kyrsten Sinema, an independent and former Democrat. Lake is also often mentioned as a potential vice presidential pick for Trump.

    While most other election deniers around the country conceded after losing their races in November, Lake did not. She has touted her legal battle in fundraising appeals and speeches around the country.

    Lake did not immediately comment on the ruling.

    She did not comment publicly. I expect there were a few private words spoken.

    She'll be back. These people are like cicadas - spending years underground while the rest of us go about our business, then emerging into the sunlight to pester and bedevil the rest of us, loudly droning on around the clock driving everyone mad, then going back to earth for a while. We are in an upswing now. It'll pass. The last cycle was the late 1960s so figure about 10 years of this, then 40 years of peace and quiet.

    Kevin's Cicada analogy fits.

    But he has a great name..

    To me , Arizona is the best example of the stolen election song and dance.. the conspiracy theory people brought their own crew in to prove their point and all that they proved was that Biden got a few more votes..
