Attorneys for Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake moved to forfeit a defamation case against her Tuesday, choosing not to contest the allegations that she defamed a state election worker after the 2022 election.
The lawsuit claims Lake consistently and systemically lied about Richer’s actions as recorder, causing him to receive harassment and numerous threats to his life. Richer added that Lake claimed without evidence that he stuffed ballot boxes with 300,000 invalid votes and used his role as recorder to make the ballot unclear for voters.
The court filing Tuesday does not contest Richer’s claims, and requests an accelerated hearing to determine damages.
