PHOENIX (AP) The Arizona Supreme Court has declined to hear Republican Kari Lakes latest appeal over her defeat in the 2022 governors race, marking yet another loss in her attempt to overturn the races outcome. The court made its refusal to take up the former TV anchors appeal public on Thursday without explaining its decision.
Lake, now locked in a U.S. Senate race against Democrat Ruben Gallego, had lost the governors race to Democrat Katie Hobbs by over 17,000 votes.
The courts had previously rejected Lakes claims that problems with ballot printers at some Maricopa County polling places on Election Day in 2022 were the result of intentional misconduct and that Maricopa County didnt verify signatures on mail ballots as required by law. A judge also turned down Lakes request to examine the ballot envelopes of 1.3 million early voters. In all, Lake had three trials related to the 2022 election.
Despite her earlier losses in court and a ruling affirming Hobbs victory, Lake had asked the Arizona Supreme Court to review her case, claiming she had new evidence to support her claims. Lawyers for Maricopa County told the court that Lake failed to present any new evidence that would change the courts findings.

If there is any justice and sanity in the world left--even a drip, Gallego will prevail.
