Judge Hears Oral Arguments in Lake Lawsuit

A judge is now deciding whether to dismiss Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake's lawsuit challenging the midterm election. The lawsuit was filed against Democrat Katie Hobbs—the current Arizona secretary of state and governor-elect—and Maricopa County officials. Lake alleges the election was botched—citing equipment and signature verification issues—and saying the long lines to vote on Election Day disenfranchised voters.
