A federal appeals court has dismissed a lawsuit brought by former Republican candidates Kari Lake and Mark Finchem, who claimed that the use of “inherently unreliable” electronic tabulation machines in the Arizona’s 2022 midterm elections was a violation of their constitutional rights to vote.
In their lawsuit, originally filed last April in a U.S. District Court in Pheonix, the two candidates asked the court to keep the state from using the machines, which they allege “has created unjustified new risks of hacking, election tampering, and electronic voting fraud.”
