Court of Appeals rejected the losing GOP governor candidate's latest bid to overturn results of the 2022 election.
Howard Fischer Capitol Media Services PHOENIX — The state Court of Appeals rejected Kari Lake's latest bid to overturn results of the 2022 election for governor.
In a Twitter post, Lake said she told supporters she would take the case all the way to the Arizona Supreme Court. That left her contention that Maricopa County officials, either negligently or intentionally, altered on-site ballot printers. In fact, Cattani said, Lake's own cybersecurity expert confirmed that those misconfigured ballots — and others that could not be read for any reason — could be placed in a locked container, taken to county election offices to be duplicated onto a readable ballot by a bipartisan board, and ultimately counted.
"But the expert failed to provide any reasonable basis for using survey responses or non-responses to draw inferences about the motivations or preferences of people who did not vote,'' Cattani wrote. The judge said the 16% figure appears to have no basis"other than the fact that he picked the number precisely because it was what it would have needed to be in order for it to change the outcome.
