Attorneys for Katie Hobbs, Adrian Fontes and Maricopa County are urging the justices of the Arizona Supreme Court to send Kari Lake packing in her latest -- and possibly last -- bid to overturn the results of the 2022 gubernatorial race.

Among conservatives, Kari Lake's defeat in the race for governor last year has done little to erode her standing. If anything, her refusal to acknowledge her loss only enhances her stature well beyond Arizona.

An Arizona Court of Appeals panel affirmed a Maricopa County Superior Court judge’s decision to toss out Kari Lake’s election contest.  

Kari Lake has made a pivot. Sort of. If the central theme of her campaign for governor last year was the 2020 election – which she argued was fraudulent, rigged and generally stolen from former President Donald Trump – then the principal pillar of her post-election campaigning is the 2022 election. 

Former Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake paid nearly $230,000 to a pair of lawyers who filed her unsuccessful election contest lawsuit, campaign finance documents show.

The Arizona Court of Appeals has agreed to expedite consideration of Kari Lake's claims that the 2022 election was flawed. But none of that means the judges are going to give her what she wants: either to be installed as governor or require a new election in the state's largest county.

Pinal County officials deny burgeoning claims that they withheld information about ballot discrepancies from the courts and from voters.  

Abe Hamadeh’s bid for attorney general marches on as he filed a motion for a new trial, citing vote total discrepancies revealed in Pinal County’s recount as grounds to revisit ballots. 

The state Court of Appeals will consider later this month whether to expedite a bid by Kari Lake to overturn the results of the gubernatorial election she lost by more than 17,000 votes.

The last election contest by failed attorney general candidate Abraham Hamadeh went to trial this morning and a judge denied his petition, affirming Kris Mayes’ win. Like Kari Lake, Hamadeh had to meet a high burden of proof to flip the election in his favor.
