Lake's meeting comes amid claims that the former gubernatorial candidate could be vying for Kyrsten Sinema's Senate seat.
Paul Bender, professor of law at Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law in Arizona, said that Lake"does not have any chance" of overturning the Arizona gubernatorial election.
"The election is over. No court is going to interfere with it anymore, her chance of legally of changing the election is zero," Bender told"In law, there's a phrase—res judicata—means it's been decided. And this has been decided."the gubernatorial election before she can decide to run for Senate. "Arizona has a very strict resign to run law. It's not possible for her to be Arizona's shadow governor and a Senate candidate at the same time," Gallego tweeted.
Arizona's resign-to-run law mandates that elected officials who seek other jobs in office must quit their current role if they are not in the final year of their term. However, the rule will not apply to Lake, who is not an elected official or even a gubernatorial candidate anymore. Hobbs was officially sworn in as Arizona governor on January 2.
