There is no clear or convincing evidence of Lake’s allegations of systematic misconduct by those responsible in the election, US media consistently quoted the judge’s decision on Saturday.
Endorsed by ex-President Donald Trump, Lake is among those who have repeated his baseless claims that Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election through massive fraud. Even before the recent election, Lake had refused to say whether she would honor her own election result if she lost. To this day, Lake has not admitted defeat.
Lake had filed lawsuits against several pollsters. Her lawsuit said “illegal votes” were cast during the vote and long lines discouraged Republicans from voting. Lake narrowly lost to Democrat Katie Hobbs in the November election. The result was formally confirmed in early December.
Immediately after the decision was announced on Saturday, she said she wanted to appeal against the verdict to “restore confidence and fairness in our elections”. After all, she proved to the world that the elections are outside the law, the 53-year-old claimed on Twitter.
