Hobbs, Fontes attorneys ask court to end Lake's bid to overturn 2022 election results

PHOENIX — Attorneys for Katie Hobbs, Adrian Fontes and Maricopa County are urging the justices of the Arizona Supreme Court to send Kari Lake packing in her latest — and possibly last — bid to overturn the results of the 2022 gubernatorial race.

And they said she and her lawyer should be slapped with having to pay not only their legal fees but other financial sanctions for filing what they say is a wholly frivolous claim that already has been rejected by two lower courts.

In three new separate court filings, the lawyers cite a series of not just factual but legal issues in Lake’s argument that the justices should either declare her the winner or order a new election despite the official vote tally showing her losing to Democrat Hobbs by 17,117 votes.
