The Supreme Court has declined to overturn a lower court decision that upheld Arizona’s use of voting machines in elections. The lawsuit was brought by Kari Lake and Mark Finchem, who both lost their respective races in the 2022 midterm elections. Lake, who was running for governor, and Finchem, who was running for secretary of state, had argued that the voting machines were unreliable and inaccurate and that they had been hacked and manipulated. However, the lower court found that their allegations did not support a plausible inference that their votes had been affected by the use of electronic tabulation. The Supreme Court’s decision not to review this ruling effectively ends Lake and Finchem’s lawsuit. This is the latest setback for Republicans who have tried to cast doubt on the results of the 2020 and 2022 elections, despite the fact that these results have been consistently upheld by courts.
