epublican Kari Lake continues to contest the results of Arizona’s November gubernatorial race. Lake alleges she lost the election by approximately half a percentage point because of voter fraud and vote-counting irregularities — particularly in Maricopa County.
Last week, Lake demanded a complete review of Arizona’s election board and practices before the formal appointment of a new governor (scheduled for Jan. 3). Arizona Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson dismissed Lake’s petition.
RTM previously reported that last Tuesday, Lake appealed Judge Thompson’s ruling. A court filing states that Lake will also seek a direct review by the Arizona Supreme Court.
Lake continues to demand a new election or a “hand recount” of the November ballots. When a Twitter user asked Lake to clarify whether or not her team is calling for a “full hand recount of all AZ ballots,” Lake replied: “Yes. We. Do.”
