AZ-GOV: Lake: Don't sanction me because I believe my fact-free claims [View all]

Kari Lake and her lawyers are asking the Arizona Supreme Court not to sanction them for their election challenge case because Lake “honestly believes that electoral misconduct and illegal votes determined the outcome of the 2022 gubernatorial election.”

The Supreme Court invited the defendants in Lake’s case, Gov. Katie Hobbs and Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, to request sanctions against Lake and her legal team for bringing frivolous claims to the courts that aren’t supported by the facts.

Lake is a Trump-endorsed Republican and 2020 election denier who lost the November race for Arizona governor to Hobbs by more than 17,000 votes. Since the election, Lake has continued to assert, without evidence, that she is the true governor and that her loss was owed to intentional malfeasance from election officials who didn’t follow proper procedures.

She has claimed that in Maricopa County, ballots that had mismatching signatures were counted when they should have been thrown out, more than 35,000 illegal ballots were added in with legal ones and ballot printer and tabulator errors suppressed the Republican vote on Election Day.
