Despite losing by more than 17,000 votes, Lake has maintained that she was the winner of November’s gubernatorial election in Arizona. She’s a strong supporter of former President Donald Trump, who is running for another term in 2024.

In an effort to overturn the results of the contest, she filed a lawsuit alleging that election officials intentionally caused ballot printer malfunctions and intentional violations to ballot chain of custody.
