Former Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake is warning her supporters that those who oppose her politically are angling to take legal action against her.
In a short fundraising note, Lake claimed that "The establishment wants to ARREST ME for" exposing what she has claimed is election fraud in her state.
Last month, the Arizona Supreme Court declined to hear most of Republican Kari Lake's appeal over the gubernatorial race from November's midterms.
"In an order Wednesday, the state's highest court said a lower court erroneously dismissed Lake's claim challenging the application of signature verification procedures on early ballots in Maricopa County. The court sent the claim back to a trial court to consider," the Associated Press reported.
The AP continued: "In mid-February, the Arizona Court of Appeals rejected Lake's assertions, concluding she presented no evidence that voters whose ballots were unreadable by tabulators at polling places were not able to vote. The appeals court noted that even a witness called to testify on Lake's behalf confirmed ballots that couldn't initially be read at polling places may ultimately have been counted. And while a pollster testified that the polling place problems disenfranchised enough voters to change the election's outcome, the appeals court said his conclusion was baseless."
In February, Lake announced on Twitter that her election lawsuit was headed to the Arizona Supreme Court after the appeals court ruled against her.
It continues: "Because these claims were duplicative of a claim that Lake unsuccessfully pursued at trial, the superior court did not err by dismissing them. For the foregoing reasons, we affirm the superior court's ruling confirming Hobbs's election as governor. We deny Hobbs's request for an award of attorney's fees on appeal because she offered no substantive basis for the award."
