Kari Lake Vs. Arizona Supreme Court

Arizona’s highest court has declined to hear Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s appeal of her election loss to Katie Hobbs. The Arizona court kept the issue afloat by referencing one of Lake’s arguments back to a county judge for consideration.

After a Maricopa County judge and state appeals court rejected Lake’s assertions that she was the legitimate governor and that a new election should be held, she petitioned the Arizona Supreme Court to hear her case.

On Wednesday, the Arizona Supreme Court said in a memo that the justices are granting the review of only one of her seven claims.

According to Chief Judge Robert Brutinel’s statement published on Wednesday, the former news anchor filed seven legal claims regarding her case, six of which the state’s highest court determined were correctly rejected by lower courts.

These included allegations that “thousands” of people were denied the right to vote due to issues with the tabulation equipment, and that tens of thousands of votes were “injected” into the election, which Lake called an “undisputed truth” in the lawsuit.
