An appeals court has rejected Kari Lake’s challenge of her election loss to Katie Hobbs in the 2022 Arizona governor's race.
seeking a court order declaring her the winner. It was ultimately denied by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson.
In her appeal, Lake argued that Thompson had erred by requiring she provide proof that her allegations of official misconduct affected the election results. Cattani, however, agreed that Lake needed to provide"competent mathematical basis to conclude that the outcome would plausibly have been different, not simply an untethered assertion of uncertainty."
The appeals court opinion also addressed one of Lake's chief assertions — that ballot printers had been compromised and that on-site tabulators had failed to read some ballots — by saying the lower court had offered ample evidence to support a conclusion that the ballot printer and tabulator issues stemmed from “mechanical functions that were ultimately remedied.”
"Lake’s claim thus boils down to a suggestion that election-day issues led to long lines at vote centers, which frustrated and discouraged voters, which allegedly resulted in a substantial number of predominately Lake voters not voting," Cattani wrote."But Lake’s only purported evidence that these issues had any potential effect on election results was, quite simply, sheer speculation.
