• An Arizona judge ruled that two out of 10 claims, brought by former Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, challenging Democrat Governor-elect Katie Hobbs’ election victory can go to trial.
• Judge Thompson dismissed eight of the ten counts, but ordered a trial date of Wednesday on two of the counts: (1) illegal tabulator configurations and (2) lack of chain of custody documents for vote by mail ballots on Election Day.
• Sources familiar with Arizona election law told The Arizona Sun Times that Judge Thompson’s ruling left intact two of the three strongest counts of the Lake lawsuit, but dismissed the third strongest count, invalid signatures on mail-in ballots.
