Republican candidates for two of Arizona’s top offices had their initial hearings in election-related legal challenges Tuesday, setting the schedule for the next steps that need to be taken.
GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and Republican secretary of state candidate Mark Finchem, respectively, argue that they won during the Nov. 8 midterm election and asked judges to overturn the results. They both claimed that problems that occurred at polling locations in Maricopa County on Election Day marred the outcome and disenfranchised voters.
