Even as a new poll finds a whopping majority of likely voters believe Election Day problems in Maricopa County likely swayed the outcome of the Senate election in Arizona, a federal judge imposed rare sanctions against attorneys representing GOP gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake in her legal challenge to the county's administration of the 2022 election.
- A recent Rasmussen Reports poll found that 71% of likely U.S. voters believe it's very likely, and 40% think it's somewhat likely that problems with the election may have affected the election outcome in Arizona
- 72% agree with Lake's statement, while only 18% disagree
- 60% strongly agree, 18% somewhat agree, and Democrats are evenly split
- Judge John Tuchi slapped sanctions against Lake's lawyers for the "baseless" lawsuit filed by Lake and Arizona GOP Secretary of State nominee state Rep. Mark Finchem against state officials
- The sanctions require the lawyers to pay the defendants' attorneys' fees, and the plaintiffs are allowed to respond
Arizona
- Dershowitz has not challenged the results of any Arizona elections
- He has given legal advice about the future use of machine counting by companies that refuse to disclose the inner workings of their machines
- At least 72 vote centers in Maricopa County experienced issues on Election Day, from ballots rejected by tabulators to improper checkout procedures and hours-long lines for voting
There is currently a lawsuit against Hobbs and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to prevent state certification of the governor, U.S. Senate, attorney general and secretary of state elections.
- Cochise County was sued by Hobbs after its board of supervisors didn't certify the county's vote by the deadline for Arizona counties on Monday. A judge ruled that the county must certify by the end of the day.
