On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Republicans Kari Lake and Mark Finchem’s lawsuit over the use of voting machines in Arizona elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill<\/a> reports Lake and Finchem asked the Supreme Court to review a federal appellate judge\u2019s decision to dismiss their case last October. The suit sought to block electronic voting machines from being used in the state, questioning their accuracy and reliability.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Lawyers for Lake, who is running for a Senate seat in Arizona this cycle, and Finchem, who is seeking a state Senate seat, argued in a court filing to the Supreme Court that they had sufficiently argued that \u201c[a]ll Arizona-certified optical scanners and ballot marking devices, as well as the software on which they rely, have been wrongly certified for use\u201d; Arizona\u2019s voting machines had been \u201chacked\u201d and \u201cmanipulated\u201d; and that there were apparent discrepancies in the Maricopa County\u2019s vote count after the 2020 election. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The lawsuit was filed ahead of the November 2022 midterms while Lake was running for governor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Supreme Court\u2019s decision to decline to revisit the federal court\u2019s decision puts a cap on Lake\u2019s and Finchem\u2019s lawsuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are obviously disappointed that the U.S. Supreme Court decided not to review the decisions of the Arizona district court and the Ninth Circuit, and order that our challenge to the 2022 election procedures be heard on the merits,\u201d said Kurt Olsen, one of the attorneys that sought to get the Supreme Court to consider the case, in a statement, who argued new information came to light after their case was dismissed by the  circuit court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlthough the Supreme Court grants review in less than 1 percent of cases presented on petition, we believe we presented a case.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Kari Lake and Mark Finchem case was dismissed based on a purported lack of standing to assert an injury,\u201d Olsen wrote. \u201cTherefore, the courts, even now, have not ruled on the merits of our case. We will continue to raise these issues especially in light of the upcoming 2024 election.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
