Former Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s legal team must pay $2,000 in sanctions after she made unsubstantiated claims about voter fraud in Maricopa County in the 2022 election, according to a new filing.
A Thursday order, filed from the Supreme Court of Arizona and shared online by Democracy Docket, granted a motion from Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) and Secretary of State Adrian Fontes (D) for sanctions, and directed counsel for Lake to pay $2,000 to the state court’s clerk.
