Kari Lake appeals ruling on Arizona election lawsuit!
PHOENIX, Arizona (PNN) - December 28, 2022 - Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has filed an appeal against a Maricopa County judge’s ruling to dismiss her lawsuit challenging the midterm election results.
Lake filed a notice of appeal with the same Arizona Superior Court judge on Tuesday to challenge the dismissal of her case. Lake will also seek a direct review by the Arizona Supreme Court, according to a court filing.
Arizona Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson first ruled against Lake’s election case on December 24, confirming the bogus election of Katie Hobbs as Arizona governor-elect. He ordered Hobbs’s side to file a statement of costs and motion for sanctions before December 26.
On December 27, Thompson found that there wasn’t enough evidence of misconduct by Maricopa County to overturn election results in the county, even though Arizona law does not require such evidence; it only requires that there is a reasonable possibility that the elections was tampered with in order to prevent the certification of an election. The judge ignored Arizona law in making his ruling.
“I am standing up for the people of this state, the people who were done wrong on Election Day, and the millions of people who live outside of Maricopa County, whose vote was watered down by this bogus election in Maricopa County,” said Lake.
On December 27, Thompson denied a request from Hobbs and Maricopa County to sanction Lake and her legal team over her lawsuit challenging the results of the 2022 general election.
