A three-day trial is scheduled to begin over the only remaining legal claim in Republican Kari Lake’s challenge of her loss in the Arizona governor’s race to Democrat Katie Hobbs
FILE - Kari Lake, the Republican candidate who lost the Arizona governor's race to Democrat Katie Hobbs, speaks to supporters at a Republican gathering in Scottsdale, Ariz., on Nov. 8, 2022. A three-day trial is scheduled to begin Wednesday, May 17, 2023, over the only remaining legal claim in Lake's challenge of her loss to Hobbs in the Arizona governor's race.
Three workers on lower-level signature verification who filed declarations in court on Lake’s behalf have said they experienced rejection rates due to mismatched signatures on 15% to 40% of the ballots they encountered. Lake isn’t contesting whether voters’ signatures on ballot envelopes matched those in their voting records.Lake faces a high bar in proving not only her allegation over signature verification efforts but also that it affected the outcome of her race.Lake’s lawyers say there was a flood of mail-in ballots in Maricopa County at a time when there were too few workers to verify ballot signatures.
Earlier in her lawsuit, Lake had focused on problems with ballot printers at some polling places in Maricopa County. The defective printers produced ballots that were too light to be read by the on-site tabulators at polling places. Lines were backed up in some areas amid the confusion. Lake alleged ballot printer problems were the result of intentional misconduct.
