(SNews) – Arizona’s Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has been granted a new trial to hear her signature fraud case in court.
Lake will finally get the opportunity to get her case heard in court.
Her case contests Arizona’s questionable election results and accuses officials of major failings in the state.
As Slay News reported, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled in March that a lower court improperly dismissed Lake’s challenge.
Her lawsuit alleges that Maricopa County officials potentially violated signature verification policies.
In a major win for Lake, a Maricopa County judge has agreed to hear the case.
“On Monday, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter A. Thompson—who rejected Lake’s lawsuit back in December—approved one count in Lake’s lawsuit, regarding signature verification procedures in the county, to continue in court,” Newsweek reported.
Meanwhile, Courthouse News reports a judge denied a motion on Friday to dismiss Lake’s challenge by lawyers representing Democrat Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs.
Lake celebrated the news on Twitter saying, “HUGE: Following Supreme Court Ruling, Maricopa County Judge grants @KariLake the opportunity to EXPOSE Election Fraud IN COURT!”
“We’re going to Court. Get ready!”

“It’ll be Wednesday through Friday.
“We’re just waiting patiently for the judge to give us a thumbs up and decide if he’s willing to give us that new trial.”
.@Karilake: "This is a joke. It’s a sham. They act like they’re actually comparing signatures and they’re not… upwards of 400,000 ballots. They spent less than three seconds, three seconds or less, to determine if it was a real signature. That’s humanly impossible." pic.twitter.com/sSWQJ7KyP9
