Kari Lake Confirms She’s Taking Election Lawsuit to Supreme Court

Arizona GOP candidate Kari Lake After her last week dismissal by an appellate court, she indicated that she will still take her election-related suit to the state Supreme Court.

“If they think we are going to surrender when something was stolen from us, they are messing with the wrong Americans,” Lake told supporters during an event in Lake Havasu City on Saturday, according to the Mojave Daily News. “I want you to know that we are taking this fight to the Arizona Supreme Court and we will fight in every legal avenue that we can right now.”

Lake stated that she was also present at the event. “didn’t expect them to rule for us so we’re taking this to the Arizona Supreme Court,” According to the outlet, “They have the power to make this right and I hope they will look at the Constitution, look at how the state is being torn apart and show that courage to do the right thing.”

Lake indicated that she believed her lawsuit would prevail in court despite the setbacks. Lake didn’t indicate how she would proceed if the Arizona Supreme Court rejects her case.

“I don’t want to just say that I have hope with our case because our case is so strong, it truly is and the law is on our side,” Lake is a former TV journalist who was supported by the former President Donald Trump. “I have confidence in our cases, our attorneys have confidence in the case.”

Lake did not provide a timeline but stated she would appeal the decision to the Supreme Court “hopefully in the next couple of weeks or so.”

Lake’s Saturday comments were based on a tweet she posted on February 16, when the Appellate Court had rejected her suit. “I told you we would take this case all the way to the Arizona Supreme Court, and that’s exactly what we are going to do,” she Submitted. “Buckle up, America!”

Her opponent, Katie Hobbs (Democrat), was sworn into office as governor last month. According to state data, Hobbs received 17,000 more votes that Lake.

Lake visited the Florida estate of former President Donald Trump, where she met with members the Republican National Committee to urge them not to vote for Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. An earlier swing through Iowa has sparked speculation about Lake’s potential run for the presidency or her possible role as Trump’s running mate.

Kyrsten (I-Ariz.), a former Democrat. According to an aide to the Republican, she had a meeting with Senate Republican officials in Washington, D.C., but no details were given.

Charlie Kirk asked her earlier in the month if she was. “entertaining” Lake stated that Sinema would be running for the seat. “Yes, I am entertaining it. I mean my number one priority is our court case, and I have full confidence in our court case and I hope we will get a judge to do the right thing.” She has also targeted Sinema and Rep. Reuben Gallego, a Democratic-Arizona Representative, who have both announced that they are running for Sinema’s seat.

Sinema is yet to announce whether she will run again for a second term. This decision could have an enormous impact on the race for control of Senate. Democrats expressed concern that a race between Sinema, a Democrat and a Republican would disrupt the formula that’s worked well for them, leaving an opening for a candidate, like Lake.

Lake was a Phoenix market news anchor for more than 30 years. In 2021, she left Fox affiliate because journalism had become advocacy. Shortly after Trump endorsed her, she began her campaign to become governor.

Lawsuit Rejected

Lake claimed in her lawsuit that several problems occurred in Maricopa County on Election Day. She cited publicly made statements by county officials claiming that technical issues with the vote tabulation machine disenfranchised voters who cast their ballots for her. According to Richard Baris, a pollster, Election Day voters tend to be Republican.

The three-judge panel was dissolved on Feb. 16. Submitted That “election results are not rendered uncertain unless votes are affected ‘in sufficient numbers to alter the outcome of the election,'” And he said that “this rule requires a competent mathematical basis to conclude that the outcome would plausibly have been different, not simply an untethered assertion of uncertainty.”

Referring to Baris’s testimony that Election Day voters were mostly Republican in the past, the court stated that he “failed to provide any reasonable basis for using survey responses or non-responses to draw inferences about the motivations or preferences of people who did not vote.”
