An attorney for Donald Trump's 2024 campaign has claimed that a whistleblower from a ballot company reported that approximately 300,000 ballots were "illegally inserted" into the Maricopa County, Arizona midterm election tally.
Recently disclosed internal communications between top election officials in Arizona's Maricopa County in the immediate aftermath of Election Day reveal that they struggled to reconcile a discrepancy of almost 16,000 in outstanding ballot totals.
Former Trump advisor Jenna Ellis stated that a judge ordering a two-day trial over Kari Lake's election lawsuit is a "huge threshold victory" for election integrity.
A recent lawsuit found that Arizona Democrat Katie Hobbs received a new batch of "found" votes after election day that tallied to nearly precisely the number she needed to win.
Judge Peter Thompson wrote that the court has “reviewed” Lake’s “verified statement of election contest” and said the “matter will be set on an accelerated basis."
A lawsuit filed Friday by Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake contesting the results in the November 8, 2022, election in Maricopa County exposes, among other things, the complexities of the process for mail-in and drop-box ballots and the county’s reliance on a third-party vendor for essential election functions.
Republicans in Arizona have filed a lawsuit again alleging incompetence from election officials influenced the midterm election results, after a previous legal challenge was dismissed.
