TL;DR Summary

Attorneys for Kari Lake, the 2022 Republican candidate for governor in Arizona, have been sanctioned by the state's Supreme Court for making "unequivocally false" election claims in court. The lawyers were fined $2,000 for making "false factual statements to the Court." Lake had repeatedly claimed that thousands of "unaccounted for ballots" had been added to Arizona's ballot count in her loss to Gov. Katie Hobbs. The court denied Hobbs and Secretary of State Adrian Fontes’ request for attorney’s fees as sanctions.
