Arizona’s top election official has asked the attorney general to investigate Kari Lake, the Republican candidate who lost her bid for governor in 2022, over potential campaign violations involving the disclosure of voter signatures.

The complaint could set up a legal showdown in the battleground state between a prominent conservative election denier backed by Donald Trump and two newly elected Democrats who campaigned with messages of strengthening public trust in elections.from Secretary of State Adrian Fontes to Attorney General Kris Mayes comes as Lake has doubled down on her unproven claims that administration of the state’s midterm elections resulted in her loss. The Washington Post has obtained a copy of the referral.

As part of the former gubernatorial candidate’s grievances, a Jan. 23 tweet from Lake’s account claimed 40,000 ballots didn’t match voter signatures that Arizona had on record. The tweet included a graphic containing images of 16 voter signatures.In his letter, Fontes pointed to state law involving public inspection of voter registration records. That law says records containing voter signatures “shall not be accessible or reproduced by any person other than the voter.

Lock her up

tat the only thing the Washington Post covers wow!!!!

The lawless turn to the law to intimidate. Wont work, you will pay a steep price for your corruption

Make her go away, please RINO

They are scared of Lake. You see this KariLakeWarRoom? They are doing everything they can to keep Hobbs installed. The corruption with that election runs deep and wide.

All the best people.

They are getting worried this shit is getting REAL

Not surprised at all and most likely true coming from a denier.

She's really out of control. And the spurious allegations she makes and the crazy accusations she throws around are very damaging. She is misleading her supporters about her legal challenges and is getting them to donate to her cause. It's shameful.

Don’t claim you’re for Democracy if you don’t know the horrific election fraud that took place in AZ.

It's funny (to me) how she speaks of the election as if it's obvious she was cheated. Arrogance overload. It seems obvious to me, after the mid-terms, that the moderates don't want any freak shows in charge of the government.

The HouseGOP doesn't understand we are already in a Banana Republic. The HouseGOP doesn't understand the SenateGOP is part of that Banana Republic.

Use that babysh!t yellow filter when putting her mug up!

lol
