A judge has rejected Kari Lake’s remaining legal claim challenging her loss in the race for Arizona governor
FILE - Kari Lake, the Republican candidate who lost the Arizona governor's race to Democrat Katie Hobbs, speaks to supporters at a Republican gathering in Scottsdale, Ariz., on Nov. 8, 2022. A judge on Monday, May 22, 2023, dismissed the only remaining legal claim in Lake’s challenge of her loss in last year's race for Arizona governor, affirming the election of Democrat Katie Hobbs.
While most other election deniers around the country conceded after losing their races in November, Lake did not. She has touted her legal battle in fundraising appeals and speeches around the country.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.
The former TV anchor faced a high bar in proving not only her allegation over signature verification efforts but also that it affected the outcome of her race. In mid-February, the Arizona Court of Appeals rejected Lake’s assertions, concluding she presented no evidence that voters whose ballots were unreadable by tabulators at polling places were unable to vote.
