Kari Lake’s lawyers fined over ‘false factual statements’ on election fraud

Arizona high court found no evidence of the failed gubernatorial candidate’s claim of 35,000 fraudulent votes in election

Lawyers for Kari Lake, the failed Republican gubernatorial candidate, were sanctioned $2,000 on Thursday by the Arizona supreme court in their unsuccessful challenge of her defeat in the governor’s race last year to Democrat Katie Hobbs.

In an order, the state’s highest court said Lake’s attorney made “false factual statements” that more than 35,000 ballots had been improperly added to the total ballot count, imposing 10 days to submit payment.
