Kari Lake put out a press release today highlighting key points from the lawsuit she filed on Friday, seeking to nullify and overturn the election or hold a new election free from conflicts of interest.
Judge Peter Thompson, appointed in September 2010 by Gov. Jan Brewer, will rule on this case.
“The process for an election contest is a very fast-moving pace. Under statute, we’re supposed to have a trial within ten days,” Attorney Kurt Olsen told The Gateway Pundit. Olsen further told us they may hear back early this week from the court.
Lake’s legal team demands the following relief.
An opportunity to inspect Maricopa County ballots from the 2022 general election, including ballot signature envelopes and the corresponding signatures on file with Maricopa County, prior to trial;
A root cause analysis and forensic examination into the causes and extent of the printer-tabulator problems encountered on election day;
Trial of all disputed factual issues;
An order striking all signatures on file with Maricopa County that are not the “registration record” pursuant to A.R.S. § I 6-550(A);
An order striking any invalid ballots or types of ballots on an absolute or prorated basis;
An order setting aside the certified result of the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election and declaring that Kari Lake is the winner of the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election, pursuant to A.R.S. § 16-676;
In the alternative, an order vacating the certified results of the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election, pursuant to A.R.S. § 16-676 or 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and an injunction requiring that Maricopa County re-conduct the gubernatorial election in conformance with all applicable law and excluding all improper votes, under the direction of a special master;
Recusal of defendants Hobbs and Richer from further participation in matters involving the 2022 general election, including any new election and the review of any issues related to the 2022 general election and any new election.
The Gateway Pundit reported that Kari Lake filed this BOMBSHELL lawsuit on Friday against Katie Hobbs and the corrupt Maricopa County elections officials to nullify the election for Governor and approve a full audit of signatures and machine failures.
It was revealed by a Runbeck whistleblower in Lake’s filing that HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of ballots did not have any chain of custody documentation.
In the filing, it was further revealed that 25,000 ballots were added to Maricopa County’s totals after election day with no explanation of why the number of remaining ballots could increase.

Kari Lake delivered the following press release on Monday morning after filing her historic lawsuit.
Kari Lake files devastating lawsuit detailing massive failures on election day in Maricopa County
Phoenix, Arizona – Kari Lake has filed a lawsuit against her opponent Katie Hobbs, Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, Maricopa County board of Supervisors members Bill Gates, Clint Hickman, Jack Sellers, Thomas Galvin and Steve Gallardo and Maricopa County Elections Director Scott Jarret for their roles in the most botched and embarrassing Election Day in the history of Arizona.
Kari Lake said “This lawsuit puts an end to any doubt that our elections, especially in Maricopa County, are rigged and massive reforms are needed if the public is ever to trust the results again.” Lake continued, “Our sacred vote was trampled on. Every Arizonan should be furious, regardless of Party. Despite the desperate lies by the Fake News, my team has filed one of the strongest Election Lawsuits in history.”
10 Key Points of the lawsuit, which can be read in full at SaveArizonaFund.com:
· Cyber Expert Clay Parikh: Machine Failures that Arizona voters experienced on election day could not have occurred absent intentional misconduct. In summary, the errors were the result of deliberate actions and could have been prevented.
· Between 15,603 and 29,257 Republican voters disenfranchised. Over 300,000 mail-in ballots had no chain of custody. This is a violation of Arizona law.
· Whistleblowers: Tens of thousands of illegal ballots counted, many with little to no signature verification.
· 59% of the 223 Voting Centers in Maricopa County had printer and tabulator failure on election day. Reminder: Election Day Voters went for 3 to 1 for Kari Lake. Clear voter disenfranchisement in primarily red districts (Rich Baris Numbers)
· Uncounted “Door 3 Ballots” were co-mingled with already tabulated ballots. There is strong reason to believe the actual number of door 3 ballots is far greater than the reported 16,724
· Katie Hobbs and Stephen Richer both colluded with the federal government to censor constituents. This is election interference and a violation of the First Amendment.
· Conflicts of Interest:
o Bill Gates – Spent the last two years obstructing every election integrity effort in AZ and contributed to a PAC that sought to undermine “America First” candidates
o Stephen Richer – Formed and used a well-funded PAC to defeat Kari Lake
o Katie Hobbs Secretary of State – governed over her own election
o Steven Gallardo – he is now a member of Katie Hobbs’ transition team.
· Runbeck Whistleblower says 298,942 early ballots had no chain of custody.
· Maricopa County adds 25,000 ballots to totals AFTER election day.
· Video footage, first-hand accounts, and expert testimony directly contradict Maricopa County officials’ public statements deliberately attempting to downplay these events.
These points are all thoroughly supported by the affidavits of whistleblowers within the system and backed by written expert testimony.
In addition to skillfully laid out details of a completely botched election day, the lawsuit also names Secretary of State Hobbs as a corrupt operator who successfully silenced her political enemy’s freedom of speech by demanding Twitter take down their tweets which were critical of her.
The relief sought includes throwing out illegal ballots, which would result in Lake’s rightful win over Hobbs in the November 8th election, or result in a new election conducted in Maricopa County, with a special master as administrator. In addition, inspection of the “signature verified” ballots that are highly questionable because of whistleblower testimony, is requested as relief in Lake’s suit.
The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft and Joe Hoft discussed the lawsuit with Kurt Olsen in an exclusive interview on Monday.
