Lake is challenging the integrity of the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election after she reportedly lost to Democratic challenger Katie Hobbs. The Trump-backed Republican alleges that election machine malfunctions hampered her odds of success.

The Arizona Court of Appeals agreed to expedite the case upon Lake's request in a January 9 order, setting the court date to consider the challenge to February 1, The Epoch Times reported. The court was previously slated to consider the challenge in March.

According to the report, "[a] portion of Lake's lawsuit included claims that she would have won or had a better chance of winning if dozens of Maricopa County ballot printers worked properly on Election Day."

While the Monday decision is a boon for Lake, the Republican firebrand's legal efforts have gone through a series of fits and starts.

In December, Maricopa County judge Peter Thompson greenlit two of Lake's 10 claims, The Epoch Times noted, something Lake and her team saw as a win.

"Buckle up, America," Lake said in a Twitter post at the time. "This is far from over."

In the two-day trial that ensued, independent pollster Richard Baris told the court that election day glitches were sufficient to have swung the election to Hobbs. While Lake lost the contest by 17,000 votes, Baris said Maricopa County leans Republican and that as many as 25,000 to 40,000 voters had been unable to cast their votes.

Judge Thompson ultimately dismissed the lawsuit just before Christmas, however, arguing Lake's team had failed to produce sufficient evidence of wrongdoing.

After seeing the case ultimately tossed out, Lake swiftly submitted petitions to the Arizona Appeals Court and Supreme Court. Though the Supreme Court refused to take up the case, the Appeals Court has agreed to hear it.

Lake's opponent, former Arizona secretary of state Katie Hobbs, will have until January 17 to lodge a challenge to the Appeals Court's decision to expedite the case... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
