PHOENIX (AP) — Kari Lake went to trial in another lawsuit filed over her loss in the 2022 Arizona governor’s race. The trial started Thursday and seeks to review ballot envelopes signed by approximately 1.3 million early voters in the state’s most populous county. The former TV anchor lost a previous suit that contested her loss to Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs by more than 17,000 votes. Lake’s latest case doesn’t challenge her defeat but instead is a public records lawsuit that asks to review all early ballot envelopes with voter signatures in Maricopa County, where officials denied her request for those documents.
