After long refusing to commit to accepting the results of her race if she lost, Republican Kari Lake on Friday filed the legal challenge she's been threatening in the aftermath of losing the Arizona governor's race.
The lawsuit seeks extraordinary, unprecedented and likely unlawful relief of fully overturning the state's election and certifying her as the winner instead of Hobbs.
Trump 2024 campaign attorney Christina Bobb tweeted a photo of the lawsuit filed against Maricopa County election officials minutes after the closing of business on Friday. Lake, a former longtime local news anchor in Phoenix, followed in the footsteps of her most popular endorser, Trump, in refusing to accept defeat and raising doubts about the integrity of the election ahead of time. She tweeted minutes after Bobb on Friday about her grievances with the government, big tech and the media, but she did not specifically mention her election challenge.
Kari Lake, Arizona Republican candidate for governor, speaks to supporters at the Republican watch party in Scottsdale, Ariz., Nov. 8, 2022.Arizona law dictates that challenges to elections can only be filed once the vote is certified and only within a five-day window from that certification. After Monday's certification of the vote, Friday appeared to be Lake's last chance to submit a challenge.
