Kari Lake Suffers Defeat in Supreme Court Over 2022 Election Rejection
- The Arizona Supreme Court declined to hear Kari Lake's appeal regarding her defeat in the 2022 gubernatorial election.
- Lake's claims of election misconduct were rejected by lower courts, which did not find evidence of intentional wrongdoing.
- This decision further solidifies Lake's loss and underscores her continued opposition to the election results.
The Arizona Supreme Court has refused to review Kari Lake's appeal concerning her loss in the 2022 governor's race, marking a significant setback in her efforts to challenge the election results. Lake lost the race to Democrat Katie Hobbs by more than 17,000 votes, and her claims of misconduct related to ballot printing issues were previously dismissed by lower courts. Lake, a prominent election denier and former television anchor, argued that she had new evidence warranting a Supreme Court review, but Maricopa County lawyers countered that no new information had been presented. Throughout the legal battle, Lake underwent three trials, all of which upheld Hobbs' victory, and her campaign has remained vocal against the election outcome despite being in the midst of a Senate race against Democrat Ruben Gallego.
