Hobbs, Fontes, Maricopa County clap back at Lake's appeal to the AZ Supreme Court

Failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and her lawyers “continue to malign and erode the foundations upon which our great state stands” through their court case contesting the November 2022 election results, Secretary of State Adrian Fontes told the Arizona Supreme Court this week in a filing asking the court to reject Lake’s legal challenge seeking to overturn her election loss.

Lake, a Republican, claims she is the true governor of Arizona and that the 2022 election — which Katie Hobbs won by more than 17,000 votes — was stolen from her, much like what she believes happened to former President Donald Trump in 2020.

The would-be governor’s election challenge was first dismissed in December, after a two-day trial during which she failed to provide evidence backing up her claims that Maricopa County elections officials rigged things against her. After an appellate court last month upheld that dismissal, Lake followed through on a pledge to take the case to the state Supreme Court.

On March 13, the defendants in the case — Fontes, Hobbs and Maricopa County — filed biting responses to Lake’s petition asking the Supreme Court to take up her election contest case. All three asked the high court to reject Lake’s suit.
