Kari Lake loses suit to see ballot envelopes in 3rd trial tied to Arizona election defeat
A judge has rejected Kari Lake’s request to examine signed ballot envelopes of 1.3 million early voters, giving the defeated Arizona Republican candidate for governor another loss in her third trial related to last year’s election. In an order filed Thursday, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge John Hannah Jr. argued their release would undermine the ballot verification process in future elections. Bryan Blehm, Lake's attorney, did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
