During a recent Turning Point USA event in Phoenix, Lake accused Maricopa County of creating a “house of cards.”
After making this wild-eyed statement, the failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate then professed she would “burn [the house of cards] to the ground.”

Republican Bill Gates, the Board of Supervisors chairman in Maricopa County, is thrilled with the court ruling against Lake. According to Gates, Lake’s failed lawsuit marked a win for US democracy and Arizona voters.
