Arizona judge declines to sanction Kari Lake for lawsuit challenging election
Case contesting race for governor was rejected and Republican candidate ordered to pay $33,000 to cover legal costs
An Arizona judge declined a request on Tuesday to sanction Kari Lake for filing a lawsuit trying to overturn the result of the state’s gubernatorial race.
Peter Thompson, a superior court judge in Maricopa county, rejected the case on Saturday, saying Lake, a Republican, had failed to prove there was intentional misconduct that cost her the race.
