Lake filed previously filed a special action lawsuit against Maricopa County after they illegally denied her team access to the fraudulent 2022 mail-in ballot affidavit envelopes. 

The Gateway Pundit inspected hundreds of 2022 mail-in ballot signatures and corresponding voter registration records in Maricopa County through a public records request and reported on the clear fraud involved. See the obviously mismatched signatures here:

These records were not provided to Kari Lake and her attorneys before her election contest trials with Judge Peter Thompson in the Maricopa County Superior Court. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Thompson dismissed Lake's case despite evidence that hundreds of thousands of signatures were "verified" by Maricopa County in less than three seconds each.
