The Associated Press reports:
The Arizona Supreme Court has declined to hear Republican Kari Lake’s latest appeal over her defeat in the 2022 governor’s race, marking yet another loss in her attempt to overturn the race’s outcome.
The court made its refusal to take up the former TV anchor’s appeal public on Thursday without explaining its decision.
Lake, now locked in a U.S. Senate race against Democrat Ruben Gallego, had lost the governor’s race to Democrat Katie Hobbs by over 17,000 votes. In all, Lake had three trials related to the 2022 election.

At this writing, Gallego leads Lake by 1.7 points with 76% of the votes counted. Lake gained some ground overnight and now trails by around 44,000 votes.
Just in: Arizona’s 2022 election is now over.
The Arizona Supreme Court has denied review of Kari Lake’s final challenge to her 2022 gubernatorial loss.
