The Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit challenging the use of electronic voting machines in Arizona. The lawsuit was filed by Kari Lake, a Republican candidate for governor in 2022, and Mark Finchem, a former Republican state lawmaker.
Lake and Finchem argued that the state’s electronic voting machines could be hacked and that their use violated the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution. However, lower courts dismissed the lawsuit, finding that Lake and Finchem had not been harmed in a way that allowed them to sue.
The Supreme Court agreed with the lower courts, writing that the lawsuit was “based on speculative concerns” and that the plaintiffs had not shown any actual harm from the use of electronic voting machines in Arizona.
The Supreme Court’s decision is a blow to efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Lake and Finchem were among a number of Republican candidates who lost their races in 2022 and have since filed lawsuits challenging the results.
The Supreme Court’s decision is a sign that the court is not interested in overturning the results of the 2020 election. The court has already rejected several other lawsuits challenging the results of the election, and it is unlikely that it will take up any more of these cases.
The Supreme Court’s decision is a victory for democracy. It sends a clear message that the courts will not tolerate efforts to overturn the results of free and fair elections.
