A judge has thrown out Republican Kari Lake’s challenge of her defeat in the Arizona governor’s race to Democrat Katie Hobbs.

Lawyers for Arizona election officials say Republican Kari Lake didn’t offer evidence to back her claims of widespread, intentional misconduct on Election Day in challenging her loss to Democrat Katie Hobbs in the governor’s race.

Biden will look to run up the score there and on the Navajo Nation in northeastern Arizona. Now those voters habituated to voting for Republicans are looking around, and some are finding they’re open to Democrats like Biden, she said.
