(Reuters) — Defeated Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake sued Arizona elections officials on Friday to challenge the counting and certification of the November electoral contest and ask to be declared

The suit targets Lake's Democratic opponent, Governor-elect Katie Hobbs, currently Arizona's secretary of state, along with top officials in Maricopa County, according to the filing on Friday with the Maricopa County Superior Court. Lake was one of the most high-profile Republican candidates in the midterm elections to embrace former Republican President Donald Trump's false claims of voter fraud in 2020.

The GOP candidate for governor has launched legal action that reads: "Lake received the greatest number of votes and is entitled to be named the winner."

Kari Lake filed a lawsuit Friday contesting the election results for the Arizona governor race, which she lost to Democratic opponent Katie Hobbs by 17,000 votes.
