Arizona GOP candidate Kari Lake filed a petition to transfer her election case from Maricopa County to the Arizona Supreme Court over the past weekend, coming as Democrat Katie Hobbs was sworn in as governor of Arizona in a ceremony.
Lake’s petition claims that “evidence put forward in this case, including the changing and conflicting testimony of Maricopa officials, and sworn testimony by whistleblowers employed by Maricopa” show that Maricopa County did not verify mail-in ballot signatures, caused “chaos” on Election Day, and did not keep the chain of custody for hundreds of thousands of voters.
