Trial over Kari Lake’s last challenge to loss in Arizona governor’s race ends for 2nd day

The trial for Kari Lake's only remaining legal claim in her challenge to the Arizona governor's race ended Thursday without a decision.

Attorneys for Gov. Katie Hobbs, Secretary of State Adrian Fontes and Maricopa County, who had yet to bring out any of their own witnesses, asked Judge Peter Thompson to go ahead and enter a judgment based on partial findings.

Thompson declined but cautioned it is not meant “to be a comment either way on anything. I'm reserving until I hear everything where this comes out."

The judge is allowing the Republican gubernatorial candidate three days to prove county election officials failed to perform higher-level signature verifications on mail-in ballots that had been flagged.
