In a letter to Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, Fontes requested 'appropriate enforcement action against Kari Lake' for publishing those 16 voter signatures.
-- The top election official in Arizona has asked the state's attorney general to investigate Republican Kari Lake, who lost her 2022 gubernatorial bid, for potentially violating state law by publishing voter signatures on her Twitter account.
In a letter to Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, Fontes requested"appropriate enforcement action against Kari Lake" for publishing those 16 voter signatures. Fontes cites a state law that prohibits reproducing voter signatures other than the voter or a legally authorized person. Fontes' letter states that violation of that law is a felony.
Lake has been making false claims about election fraud on Twitter and in appearances on right-wing media since losing in November. She held a"Save Arizona Rally" in Scottsdale on Sunday in which she repeated lies about the election and promoted conspiracy theories about the election.
