<p>Arizona&#8217;s Supreme Court sent part of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kari-lake" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kari Lake</a>&#8216;s appeal of her 2022 governor&#8217;s race defeat back to a trial court for review while refusing to hear the rest of the claims.</p>
<p>The remaining piece of the legal challenge concerns how Maricopa County, which includes the capital of Phoenix and is Arizona&#8217;s most populous county, performed signature verifications for early ballots.</p>
<p><a href="https://twitter.com/jeremyduda/status/1638706398493306883" target="_blank" rel="noopener">An order</a> from the high court late Wednesday said the superior court and Arizona Court of Appeals made an &#8220;erroneous&#8221; decision to reject the claim because of their focus on election procedures rather than the application of those procedures in last November&#8217;s contest as cited in Lake&#8217;s claim. Lake now faces the challenge of establishing that mail-in votes were affected &#8220;in sufficient numbers to alter the outcome&#8221; of last November&#8217;s election.</p>

<p>&#8220;I am thrilled that the Supreme Court has agreed to give our signature verification evidence the appropriate forum for the evaluation it deserves,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/KariLake/status/1638971176088387584" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lake said in a statement</a>.</p>
<p>The Arizona Supreme Court order, signed by Chief Justice Robert Brutinel, also called on Lake&#8217;s team to file a reply to the defendants&#8217; motions for sanctions in regard to the assertion of there being &#8220;the undisputed fact that 35,563 unaccounted for ballots were added to the total of ballots at a third party facility.”</p>
<p>The order said the &#8220;record does not reflect&#8221; such a claim and noted the motions of sanctions &#8220;will be considered in due course.&#8221;</p>

<p>Lake, a former journalist who made election integrity a top priority of her campaign, sued after the results showed that she lost the November contest to Democrat Katie Hobbs by roughly 17,000 votes in the governor&#8217;s race. Hobbs was sworn in as governor in early January.</p>
<p>Lake&#8217;s 2022 election complaint raised allegations of misconduct and illegal votes with issues ranging from mail-in ballots, chain-of-custody, and problematic ballot printers. Maricopa County officials <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/maricopa-county-arizona-officials-apologize-vote-tabulator-problems-say-7-ballots-affected" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acknowledged</a> issues with the election, but insisted <a href="https://www.azfamily.com/2023/02/17/appeals-court-denies-kari-lakes-election-contest-2022-election/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">every valid vote</a> in the contest had been counted.</p>
<p>After Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/24/kari-lake-loses-lawsuit-over-her-defeat-in-arizona-governors-race.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">threw out Lake&#8217;s challenge</a>, the appellate rejected the case in February, <a href="https://www.azmirror.com/2023/02/16/kari-lake-loses-election-challenge-appeal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">writing</a> that voters were &#8220;able to cast their ballots, that votes were counted correctly, and that no other basis justifies setting aside the election results.&#8221;</p>
<p>Throughout, Lake said she would not give in, vowing to take her case to the high court.</p>
<p>Two other Republican candidates, <a href="https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/abe-hamadeh-arizona-judge-rules-against-gop-attorney-general-candidate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abe Hamadeh</a> and <a href="https://apnews.com/article/finchem-lawsuit-sanctions-2022-election-arizona-7e7567bdbe90f4c4ab6d4567a128bd0f" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mark Finchem</a>, who ran for attorney general and secretary of state, respectively, also received unfavorable rulings in their legal challenges seeking to challenge their losses.</p>
<p>In the months since the November election, media reports have said Lake is <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/kari-lake-is-considering-senate-run-making-some-republicans-nervous-85a80081" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mulling a Senate bid</a> and former President Donald Trump is considering her as a <a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/03/07/trump-kari-lake-vice-president-candidates-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">possible vice presidential running mate</a>.</p>
