Trial begins over Kari Lakes last challenge to loss in Arizona governors race
A three-day trial is scheduled to begin Wednesday over the only remaining legal claim in Republican Kari Lakes challenge of her defeat six months ago to Democrat Katie Hobbs in the Arizona governors race.
The former TV anchor was among the most vocal of last years Republican candidates promoting former President Donald Trumps election lies, which she made the centerpiece of her campaign.
While most other election deniers around the country conceded after losing their races in November, Lake did not. She lost to Hobbs by more than 17,000 votes.
Courts have dismissed most of her lawsuit, but the Arizona Supreme Court revived one claim that challenges the implementation of signature verification procedures on early ballots in Maricopa County, home to more than 60% of the states voters.

(11,171 posts)3. The second witness was an even bigger shitshow
They were trying to use some Lindell stooge as an expert witness on signature verification without getting him admitted as an expert. Ended up only being able to get him to testify that he made a public records request.

(11,171 posts)6. This just keeps getting better
Lake's latest witness testified about capturing and storing all video from the county election center dating back to 2021.
May be a felony if they have any election data and the judge had to warn the witness she may be admitting to it.
