Kari Lake, who was a guest of Glenn Beck’s today at the presidential forum in Iowa, was just told her legal team would have to pay over $122k in sanctions for filing frivolous election lawsuits.

According to The Hill, her legal team includes Alan Dershowitz. But he was only a small part and thus was ordered to pay a smaller amount.

Here’s more:

Kari Lake’s legal team, including lawyer Alan Dershowitz, must pay $122,200 in sanctions after a federal court in Arizona found that the former Republican gubernatorial candidate’s lawsuit contesting voting methods was “frivolous.”

Lake, a former television news anchor, brought a suit against the state of Arizona in April 2022 demanding the election officials use alternative methods to collect and count ballots, claiming that electronic voting machines are not reliable.

The lawsuit was thrown out and Lake ultimately lost the gubernatorial election to Gov. Katie Hobbs. She then filed another suit after the election alleging widespread fraud. That case was also dismissed, though she continues make baseless claims that the race was stolen from her.

“Failing to impose meaningful sanctions here might very well encourage others to follow suit by lending their credibility to documents filed in court without facing any real consequence if their certifications prove hollow or incomplete,” Judge John Tuchi said in his ruling. “The need for general deterrence is therefore significant.”

This Judge John Tuchi is an Obama appointee. You can be sure they will appeal this ruling and hope for an injunction by the…um…9th Circuit.
