“Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson heard oral arguments Friday in Kari Lake’s election contest.
Thompson is considering a Motions to Dismiss filed by the defendants and a 263-page Motion for Relief from Judgment filed by Lake’s attorneys urging the court to bring back her second count regarding “illegal BOD printer/tabulator configurations,” which Thompson had previously dismissed.
The judge threw out Lake’s lawsuit in December, but the Arizona Supreme Court ordered him to reconsider the issue of signature verification problems.
Lake’s attorney Kurt Olsen told the court that new evidence produced shows there was “clear misconduct and intent.”
He said, “This evidence supports our allegation that the election was rigged.”
Thompson began hearing arguments addressing the Motion for Relief from Judgment first. Olsen said the new arguments are based on receiving new evidence; the system log files and tabulator records, which were only turned over to Lake’s team within the last few months, after the trial had been conducted.”

I had meant to post the links above to show other reporting on the hearing. At least some media is reporting on it, even though most articles you find are very slanted towards Hobbs and Maricopa County. For the December hearings, I can find Youtube videos, but none for the hearing on Friday.
