A three-day trial is set to begin Wednesday in Arizona over the last remaining legal claim in Republican Kari Lake’s challenge of her defeat to Democrat Katie Hobbs in the state’s governor race six months ago. Lake, a former TV anchor, was among the most vocal of last year’s Republican candidates promoting former President Donald Trump’s election lies, which she made the centerpiece of her campaign.
The Arizona Supreme Court has revived one claim in Lake’s lawsuit that challenges the implementation of signature verification procedures on early ballots in Maricopa County, which is home to more than 60% of the state’s population. The majority of other election deniers around the country conceded after losing their races in November, but Lake has not.
The trial is expected to start Wednesday in Maricopa County Superior Court. Lake is seeking to invalidate the election results in Maricopa County, which would have a significant impact on the outcome of the election.
The trial is expected to include testimony from election officials, witnesses, and experts. Lake’s lawyers are expected to argue that the signature verification process was flawed and that the election results should be overturned. Hobbs’ lawyers are expected to argue that the process was conducted properly and that the results should stand.
The trial is expected to last three days, and a decision is expected to be issued soon after. The outcome of the trial could have a major impact on the results of the election and could potentially change the outcome of the race.
