The Arizona Court of Appeals will expedite consideration of the losing Republican's claims the 2022 election was flawed.
Howard Fischer PHOENIX — The Arizona Court of Appeals has agreed to expedite consideration of Kari Lake's claims the 2022 election was flawed.
The judges also agreed to consider the matter on Feb. 1, at least a month earlier than the court would have heard a regular appeal. Thompson, however, said Lake not only failed to prove any intentional act but also to provide evidence there was an effect on the outcome of the election, which Lake lost to Hobbs by 17,117 votes. He pointed out that those voters whose ballots could not be immediately read by the on-site tabulators had the option of putting them in a sealed box to be read later at the county election center.
In his ruling last month, Thompson also rejected another claim by Lake that the county failed to follow chain-of-custody rules for ballots and that somehow an extra 25,000 ballots were injected into the election system after the vote. Thompson said the manual and its procedures have been in place since 2019 and if Lake believed they allow something illegal, she should have filed that challenge before the election.
