Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake will not contest her liability in a defamation suit brought against her by a top election official in Maricopa County following the 2022 election as it will “only serve to legitimize this perversion of our legal system,” she has said.
Lawyers for Ms. Lake filed a motion (pdf) with the Maricopa County Superior Court on March 26 asking for an expedited hearing for a default judgment and a hearing to determine the amount of damages to be awarded to Stephen Richer, the election worker who filed the lawsuit.
