THE Supreme Court of the United States has declined to consider a request by Kari Lake, Republican Senate candidate, for a ban on the use of electronic vote-counting machines in Arizona.
On Monday, April 22, Lake, who is a strong supporter of Donald Trump– the former President running for a second term, lost her bid to have the Supreme Court take up her lawsuit on electronic voting machines in her state, said reports. She filed the lawsuit when she ran for governor in 2022.
The case had been dismissed by two lower courts, which decided that Lake did not have reason to sue, USA Today said and added that the Supreme Court dismissed Lake’s appeal, without comment. Lake and former Republican secretary of state candidate Mark Finchem filed a suit two years ago with allegations over the security of the machines counting votes.
In fact, report suggest that they partly relied on testimony from Trump supporters who led an earlier review of the election in Maricopa County, including Doug Logan, the CEO of Cyber Ninjas, who oversaw the effort described by supporters as a “forensic audit.”
Lawyers for Lake and Finchem argued before the Supreme Court that hand count is the most efficient method for establishing election results. Election administrators testified that hand counting dozens of races on millions of ballots would require an extraordinary amount of time, space and manpower, and would be less accurate, added reports.
