Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson heard oral arguments Friday in Kari Lake's election contest.

Thompson is considering a Motions to Dismiss filed by the defendants and a 263-page Motion for Relief from Judgment filed by Lake's attorneys urging the court to bring back her second count regarding "illegal BOD printer/tabulator configurations," which Thompson had previously dismissed.

The judge threw out Lake's lawsuit in December, but the Arizona Supreme Court ordered him to reconsider the issue of signature verification problems.

Lake's attorney Kurt Olsen told the court that new evidence produced shows there was "clear misconduct and intent."
