Kari Lake Sues Arizona Election Officials

“Defeated Republican candidate Kari Lake sued state elections officials on Friday to challenge the counting and certification of the midterm election and ask to be declared the winner,” Reuters reports.

New York Times: “Ms. Lake’s lawsuit came after she had spent weeks making a series of public statements and social media posts aimed at sowing doubt in the outcome of a contest she lost by more than 17,000 votes to her Democratic opponent, Katie Hobbs. That loss was certified in documents signed on Monday by Ms. Hobbs, who currently serves as secretary of state.”

Washington Post: “Lake is the highest-profile election denier to contest her own loss in the midterm elections. Most others who lost have conceded defeat.”
