![]() ![]() Court confirms “the election of Katie Hobbs as Arizona Governor.” /kBq81sCa07 □BREAKING: Arizona Court REJECTS Kari Lake’s last legal challenge to the 2022 election for governor. Her lawyers argued that there was evidence that lower-level screeners who found inconsistencies in signatures ran them up the chain of command, where they were neglected by higher level verifiers. Lake’s signature verification claim was the subject of a three-day trial. County officials had defended the signature verification efforts and said they had nothing to hide. Thompson dismissed the case, but the Arizona Supreme Court revived a claim that challenges how signature verification procedures were used on early ballots in Maricopa County, home to more than 60% of the state’s voters. She filed suit after losing to Hobbs by about 17,000 votes, asking the courts to install her as governor or order a new election. Lake did not immediately comment on the ruling. She has touted her legal battle in fundraising appeals and speeches around the country. While most other election deniers around the country conceded after losing their races in November, Lake did not. Lake is also often mentioned as a potential vice presidential pick for Trump. Senate seat now held by Kyrsten Sinema, an independent and former Democrat. She has built a loyal following among Trump supporters and is openly considering a run for the U.S. 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. Thompson said Lake failed to prove her claim that Maricopa County did not verify signatures on mail ballots as required by law. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter A. 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. ![]()
