Kari Lake to claim in court Arizona governor's race was stolen from her

Kari Lake has claimed for weeks that her loss in the race for Arizona governor was illegitimate, and now, the former television anchor will get her long-sought opportunity to make her case to a judge this week during a two-day trial scheduled to begin on Wednesday. 

She'll have a chance to inspect ballots, call witnesses and introduce evidence in a bid to prove she was the rightful winner of the race, which Democrat Katie Hobbs won by just over 17,000 votes.

She faces extremely long odds. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson said she must prove not only that misconduct occurred, but also that it was intended to deny her victory and did in fact result in the wrong woman being declared the winner.
