Arizona officials reject Kari Lake's election challenge evidence.
Arizona officials and Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs have asked a judge to throw out the last remaining election misconduct claim by Kari Lake, the 2022 Republican candidate for Arizona governor. Lake's lawyers allege that the election was rigged, based on unsubstantiated speculation, and that thousands of ballots were accepted despite having mismatched signatures. The Arizona Supreme Court revived her claim challenging the application of signature-verification procedures, but opposing attorneys say the workers' speculation doesn't amount to a violation of the law or misconduct by election workers.
