AZ High Court Rejects Most Of Vaseline Woman’s Suit

The Arizona Republic reports:

Arizona’s top court has declined to hear Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s challenge to her election loss, but kept the case alive by sending one of Lake’s claims back to a county judge to review. The former television news anchor made seven legal claims in her case.

Those included claims that tens of thousands of ballots were “injected” into the election, which Lake called an “undisputed fact” in her lawsuit, as well as alleging that problems with tabulation machines disenfranchised “thousands” of voters.

But the sixth legal claim, which has to do with Lake’s allegation that Maricopa County did not follow signature verification procedures, must receive a second look by a county judge, the court ordered. The Supreme Court did not evaluate Lake’s signature claim on its merit, only on the legal justifications offered by prior courts.
