The lawsuit accuses county officials of breaking election laws and demands information about ballots impacted by Election Day printer issues.
from the county about its Election Day printer woes; and a subpoena from state Sen. Kelly Townsend seeking information and records related to the same problems.Lake's suit asks for numerous public records, including names and contact information for voters at polling sites that experienced printer malfunctions, the number of ballots spoiled on Election Day, adjudication rates by legislative district and the number of ballots sent to overseas voters and their verification processes.
"These public records are vital to the integrity of the election process and necessary to show, ahead of canvassing, that every legal ballot was properly counted," the suit reads. The filing requests that the court require the county to provide the requested information by Nov. 28. That's the same deadline as Townsend's subpoena and the same due date for a response to the letter from the Attorney General's Office, which Lake's suit has some overlap with in regards to the information it requests.
It's also the same day that county officials plan to canvass, or certify, election results and send official tallies to the Arizona Secretary of State's Office."This is not our main case. When our main case drops, they will hear it. Trust me, they will hear it," Lake told Bannon, adding that her team is gathering witnesses and has a"smoking gun."
