Lake, who was defeated by Democrat Katie Hobbs in the race to succeed Doug Ducey as Arizona's next governor, filed the appeal days afterlisted in Lake's lawsuit, but allowed two of the counts, which relates to ballot printer malfunctions and ballot chain of custody, to proceed to what was ultimately a two-day trial.
In her election lawsuit, Lake had asked the judge to either declare her the winner, or order a revote in Maricopa County. Lake faced extremely long odds in her challenge, needing to prove not only that misconduct occurred, but also that it was intended to deny her victory and did in fact result in the wrong woman being declared the winner.
