What to expect from the Lake, Hamadeh election lawsuits

It’s been more than a month since the midterm elections, and challenges still persist from the losing candidates.

Just days after secretary of state candidate Mark Finchem’s lawsuit was thrown out by a Maricopa County judge, Kari Lake will get her day in court starting Dec. 21. A judge dismissed most of the suit, allowing two of the original 10 counts to go to trial.

Meanwhile, losing Republican attorney general candidate Abe Hamadeh’s lawsuit will be allowed to continue with four of the five counts intact.

To learn about these suits and what we can expect from the trials in the coming weeks, The Show spoke with Votebeat reporter Jen Fifield.
