Attorneys for Kari Lake and Katie Hobbs argued their cases in Maricopa County Superior Court. Lake hopes the court will declare her winner or order a new election.
Kari Lake's lawsuit is full of unproven speculation that isn't allowed for election challenges under state law, lawyers for Gov.-elect Katie Hobbs and Maricopa County officials told a judge Monday.
Lawyers for the officials named in Lake's lawsuit − including Hobbs, County Recorder Stephen Richer and five members of the county Board of Supervisors − said at Monday's hearing Lake's case should be thrown out because it doesn't adhere to state standards for a valid election complaint. They also asked for sanctions against Lake.
Glitches did strike machines at about a third of polling places in Maricopa County during the election, providing talking points for election-denying candidates such Lake and losing GOP Secretary of State candidate Mark Finchem but so far no proof that voters were disenfranchised. The voter declarations contain nothing that suggests any votes were counted unlawfully or any voters"were wrongfully turned away," Khanna said, adding that"at most, those declarations state a handful of voters chose not to vote using the means available to them on Election Day."
Olsen, who spoke after the county lawyers, said the judge should put stock in the affidavit of"top cyber expert" Clay Parikh, whose analysis concluded that the county's"system-wide" failures could only be explained by intentional manipulation of county officials. An analysis"based on science" also showed that 15,000 to 29,000 votes were disenfranchised, Olsen said.
