Kari Lake promises to 'push the legal envelope' in ballot-chasing announcement after court loss
Failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake teased another "huge announcement" before declaring at a press conference that she is planning to launch the largest "ballot-chasing" initiative in American history following her latest loss in court.
Lake, who is estimated to have cost her state's taxpayers more than $140,000 by litigating her faulty claims of election fraud, is fresh off yet another defeat after a Maricopa County Superior Court judge ruled against her, finding that she fell short of showing in court that the race she lost for governor had actually been stolen.
After the loss, she said she would be revealing a "huge announcement" on Tuesday. Numerous commenters said they hope she's not filing yet another appeal of her failed election claims.
At her press conference, Lake announced she has millions of dollars and thousands of volunteers to launch the largest ballot-chasing initiative ever. Ballot chasing typically refers to a program in which voters who receive ballots get follow-up visits by those seeking to ensure those votes are submitted and counted.

Lake's program, she said, will be designed to fight back against the practices of "the left," which she says will do anything and register anyone.
"We can go by those same rules. If anything goes, anything goes," she said, adding that they will be "chasing ballots like you've never seen."
She also noted that her team is, "Better than the left at doing everything."
"We the people are going to stand up. We're going to show up to a knife fight with a gun, not a knife," she said.
Lake further joked that the group would "register every man, woman, dog, Gila monster."
"We are going to push the legal envelope as far as we can push it."
