She recently announced on X, the \u200dplatform formerly known as Twitter, that a trial\u200b date has been set for her lawsuit to acquire mail-in ballot signatures. The trial is scheduled\u200c for September\u200c 21 &#038; 25th, and Mrs. Lake is determined to fight for honest and transparent\u2062 elections.<\/p>\n<p>In\u200d a statement to The Gateway Pundit, Mrs. Lake expressed her\u2062 belief that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-81-election-fraud-cases-brought-to-courts-30-active-cases\/\" title=\"Report: 81 election fraud cases brought to courts, 30 active cases\">recent court order<\/a> is a significant victory for election transparency.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/trump-washington-trial-date-set-on-march-4-in-election-obstruction-case-5481850\">Trump \u2062Vows to Appeal March 4 Trial Date for Federal \u200dElections Case<\/a> \u200b- 8\/28\/2023<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/california-appeal-court-rejects-challenge-against-noncitizen-voting-in-san-francisco-school-board-election-5480838\">California Appeal Court Rejects Challenge \u2062Against Noncitizen Voting \u200cin San Francisco\u200d School Board Election<\/a> &#8211; 8\/25\/2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mrs. \u200bLake is thrilled about the \u200dprogress being made.

Hannah \u200cJr., will begin on\u200b September 21 at \u200b9 a.m. Exhibits for the trial must be submitted by September 14.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier \u200cthis year, a \u2062Maricopa County Superior Court judge ruled \u2063in favor of Mrs. Lake&#8217;s request to access affidavit envelopes. The judge emphasized that the court is not required to defer to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-rules-kari-lake-lawsuit-seeking-mail-in-ballot-signatures-will-go-to-trial\/\" title=\"Kari Lake's Lawsuit for Mail-In Ballot Signatures Heads to Trial, Judge Decides.\">elections officials&#8217; interpretation<\/a> \u200bof the law.<\/p>\n<p>Maricopa County lawyers argued \u200dthat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-rules-kari-lake-lawsuit-to-get-mail-in-ballot-signatures-will-go-to-trial\/\" title=\"Kari Lake's Lawsuit for Mail-In Ballot Signatures Heads to Trial, Judge Decides.\">ballot affidavit signatures<\/a> are confidential under state law. However, Judge Hannah disagreed, stating that the ballot affidavit itself is not a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-ny-times-columnist-ruled-ineligible-to-run-for-oregon-governor\/\" title=\"Former NY Times Columnist Ruled Ineligible To Run For Oregon Governor\">voter registration record<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Lake has been \u2063fighting to contest the\u2064 results of the 2022 election, alleging that Republican voters were disenfranchised\u2063 due\u2062 to voting machine problems and issues with the signature verification process \u200cfor mail-in ballots. Despite previous dismissals of her lawsuits, \u2062Mrs. Lake remains determined and has even expressed her willingness to take her challenge\u2062 to the U.S. Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<h2>Potential Senate Race?<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to her ongoing legal\u2063 battle, Mrs. Lake\u200b has hinted at a possible run \u2064for Arizona&#8217;s Senate seat in 2024. This could set up an exciting three-way race between \u200dher, former Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.), and\u2062 Democratic \u200cSenate candidate Ruben Gallego.<\/p>\n<div>\n<figure style=\"width:600px\" class=\"alignnone\"><figcaption>Arizona Sen.

I mean, I could go off and go back into\u200b media and make a fortune, but this is not the season for that, this is the \u200cseason for saving our country.&#8221; She plans to make\u2063 a decision in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Lake believes that running\u2062 for Senate presents \u2062an opportunity to prevent a socialist or\u200d worse from taking the seat and to have an America First senator in D.C. She is seriously considering the \u200cpossibility and \u2062will\u2064 announce \u2064her decision\u2064 soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arizona GOP candidate Kari Lake revealed a trial date for her lawsuit seeking mail-in ballot signatures, almost a year after the 2022 midterms. &#8220;We have a 2-day trial on September 21 &amp; 25,&#8221; Lake shared on X (formerly Twitter).
