.KatieHobbs asks court to sanction KariLake over Arizona election fraud claims
Hobbs filed papers Monday asking a judge for the Superior Court of Arizona’s Maricopa County to sanction Lake and her legal team from making more false accusations against election officials in Maricopa County, the most populated county in the state.“Enough really is enough. It is past time to end unfounded attacks on elections and unwarranted accusations against elections officials,” Hobbs’s team wrote in the filing.
"She has not simply failed to publicly acknowledge the election results. Instead, she filed a groundless, seventy-page election contest lawsuit against the governor-elect, the secretary of state, and Maricopa County and several of its elected officials and employees , thereby dragging them and this court into this frivolous pursuit," the filing states.
“[Lake] had decided well before the election that if the results did not favor her, she would deny that they were legitimate. And she misused this court to do so,” the Hobbs filing states.
