npub1v2sycpx32th4h4aude3jq4g0kgj0p2t5062059l0fx0vcn8njs8spcmqq5 (npub1v2s…mqq5) Gotta love "Maricopa County has a failed process for verifying thousands of ballot signatures that even some of its own workers question, her attorneys argued in court Wednesday." That's very prettily worded: by the time they get around to mentioning that what they're saying is just a description of what Lake's lawyers were claiming but hadn't yet managed to prove, they'd presented it as a statement of fact. It's like "Washington Times routinely publishes huge steaming piles of right-wing nutjob lies, says a Mastodon posting." Reputable journalists would say something like "According to Lake's lawyers, Maricopa County has . . .," but hey, Washington Times.
