Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer says he's suing former GOP Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake for defamation.
In his lawsuit, Richer, whose office is responsible for maintaining state voter files, claims that Lake falsely accused him of sabotaging the 2022 midterm election by injecting 300,000 illegal ballots into the final vote tally in the county, the most populous in the state.
"Not only would I obviously never do the things that she accuses me of, but also as a matter of Arizona law and election administration processes, I don’t even have responsibility for – or jurisdiction over – the printing of ballots on Election Day," Richer told The Arizona Republic.
I’m exposing the massive corruption in our elections and this jackass is suing me.
