JUST IN: A Maricopa County judge has dismissed most of Kari Lake's election lawsuit.
In the aftermath of an election that saw the defeat of various Republican Party candidates in Arizona, lawsuits have been filed in connection with how the election was allegedly run.
"It should proceed to trial. The people should get to see," said Kurt Olden, who was representing Lake in court. "This is about restoring trust in our election system. The kind of debacle that happened on November 8 should never happen. There are processes in place to make sure it doesn’t, and the defendants did not follow those processes. That’s the point, Your Honor.
"Plaintiff must show at trial that the BOD [ballot-on-demand] printer malfunctions were intentional, and directed to affect the results of the election, and that such actions did actually affect the outcome," read a portion of Judge Thompson's ruling with regard to count two. 50 randomly selected early ballots cast in the 2022 general election from six Maricopa County vote centers chosen by Lake's representative
According to court documents released by the Clerk of the Superior Court Jessica Fotinos, Judge Melissa Julian has granted Secretary of State Katie Hobbs' motion to dismiss the election contest, with prejudice, and confirmed the election of Fontes as Secretary of State-elect. Judge Julian wrote, in her ruling, that under state law, recusal is only required if a public officer or employee has a "nonspeculative pecuniary [money] or proprietary [ownership] interest, either direct or indirect, other than a remote interest."
