Former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake was in court Thursday to support an argument that ballot signatures are public record and ought to be reviewed.
Thursday's appearance in court was Lake's latest legal maneuver since Yavapai County Superior Court Judge John Napper ruled that the signatures of mail-in ballots had not gone through the proper verification process, per Arizona law. Lake said in a statement afterward that the failed verification"has allowed for the integrity of our elections to be washed away.
"Signatures have never really been anything special. And that's why we so routinely, so commonly, so every day, your honor, deposit them into the stream of commerce where they wind up on the County Recorder's website with the tens of millions of other signatures dating back a hundred-plus years ago," Lake's attorney Bryan Blehm said in his opening statement.
Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer is on the other side of Lake's suit and pointed out in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, that Lake lost her attempts to contest the election"at every level," which included trial court, court of appeals, and the Arizona Supreme Court. On Thursday morning I will be in state court, on the witness stand, to defend voter privacy and election security.Note, however, this is a public records case, it is not an election case. Plaintiff already filed an…"Plaintiff is requesting that all early ballot envelopes — including the voter’s name, address, phone number, and signature — be made public. No county in Arizona has ever done this since early voting in Arizona in 1992.
