(Joe Duhownik/Courthouse News)PHOENIX (CN) — Onetime Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s baseless claims of election fraud took another hit Monday morning when a Ninth Circuit panel affirmed the dismissal of a 2022 lawsuit aiming to ban electronic voting machines.Despite the former Fox News anchor’s claims that electronic voting machines are susceptible to hacking, a three-judge panel found that Lake’s speculative claims were insufficient to establish injury.“Plaintiffs’ candidacies failed at the polls, and their various attempts to overturn the election outcome in state court have to date been unavailing,” the panel wrote in its Monday order.In the first of multiple suits the gubernatorial silver-medalist has filed over Arizona’s 2022 election, Lake and then-secretary of state candidate Mark Finchem sued the state and county officials to ban the use of electronic voting machines in the midterms.

Dominion wasn’t named as a defendant. Republicans endorsed by former President Donald Trump have attacked Dominion since the November 2020 election, claiming without evidence the company rigged its software to flip votes for Trump to now-President Joe Biden.
