Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake gave an update Thursday morning about the status of her legal fight after voters were disenfranchised on Election Day. https://twitter.com/KariLake/status/1593251949201084423? (2.5 min video) On Election Day 25 percent of vote tabulation machines in the state's largest county, Maricopa, were not working. It took hours for election officials to fix the problem. Despite the delays and long lines, a judge refused to extend voting hours.

A judge Tuesday evening rejected the RNC’s effort to extend voting hours in Maricopa County, Arizona by 3 hours after problems with vote tabulators created problems and led to long lines. The judge wasn’t buying the RNC’s argument that voters were denied their right to vote. For good measure, the judge says “The Doctrine of Laches applies.” There’s no way to do anything legally at this point, even if he agreed with the RNC. But he didn’t. — Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) November 9, 2022
