Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs is asking a court to throw out Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s bid to challenge the 2022 mid-term election because state law requires more evidence to show that “millions of Arizonans” were disenfranchised during the Nov. 8 election.
In a 317-page court filing (pdf) with the Arizona Appeals Court, Hobbs’s team said that a two-day trial in Maricopa County last month “gave Lake the opportunity to prove her speculative allegations during a two-day trial.” And, it added, “Despite seven witnesses, hundreds of declarants, and thousands of pages of exhibits, Lake failed to demonstrate any violations of Arizona law and offered no evidence that absent alleged violations the outcome of the election would have been different.”
