AZ election official requests investigation of Kari Lake, accusing her of violating election laws

One of Arizona’s top election officials has asked the attorney general to investigate former GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, alleging Lake may have committed campaign violations involving the disclosure of voter signatures. The request by Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, comes a week after Lake tweeted a graphic that exposed 16 voter signatures, alleging that they didn’t match with what Arizona has on file. In a letter to Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, Fontes cited a state law that prohibits reproducing voter signatures other than the voter or a legally authorized person. Fontes’ letter states that violation of that law is a felony.
