Arizona governor-elect asks court to sanction Kari Lake after suit dismissed
The Republican election denier failed to overturn November’s election – and now may face a penalty for a “frivolous” lawsuit
The Democratic governor-elect of Arizona, Katie Hobbs, asked a court on Monday to sanction her defeated Republican rival, Kari Lake, over her failed effort to overturn the election result.
On Saturday, a judge rejected Lake’s lawsuit challenging the counting and certification of the November election in a bid to be declared the winner despite a lack of evidence of voter fraud.
