Kari Lake may have lost her legal bid to set aside the results of the governor's race, which she lost to Democrat Katie Hobbs by more than 17,000 votes. But she and her attorneys won't be forced to pay the legal fees of those she sued, including the governor elect and Maricopa County.

After securing seditious conspiracy convictions against two leaders of the Oath Keepers, the Justice Department will begin Monday to try to make its Capitol riot case against four others, including a Phoenix man, affiliated with the far-right extremist group.

Maricopa County this week relented to demands from former Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s legal team to quickly turn over public records related to the 2022 election. 

Special counsel Jack Smith has subpoenaed local election officials in Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, asking for communications with or involving former President Donald Trump, his 2020 campaign aides and a list of allies involved in his efforts to try to overturn the results of the election.

Gov. Doug Ducey wants a big change in state election law that he said should lead to people knowing the outcome of all contested races that night, or soon after.

Secretary of State Katie Hobbs certified last month’s general election on Monday, marking the official conclusion of the election and effectively opening a new phase in which lawsuits are expected to challenge the outcomes of several races.

The state elections director wants prosecutors to investigate and "take appropriate enforcement actions'' against two Cochise County supervisors who refused to certify election results by the deadline as legally required.

A federal judge ordered sanctions against attorneys representing failed Republican candidates Mark Finchem and Kari Lake in their lawsuit against the Secretary of State and Maricopa County that sought to ban the use of electronic vote tabulators and force a hand count of ballots.  

Cochise County Supervisors Peggy Judd and Tom Crosby voted today to defy the election certification deadline and delayed their vote to Friday, putting the county in violation of Arizona law and at risk of nullifying their residents’ votes.  

A second Republican-controlled Arizona county on Monday delayed certifying the results of this month's election as a protest against voting issues in Maricopa County that some GOP officials have blamed for their losses in top races including the contest for governor.
