Kari Lake asks court to decide damages in Maricopa County official’s defamation case CC BY-NC-ND  — Votebeat is a nonprofit news organization reporting on voting access and election administration across the U.S. Sign up for our free newsletters here.Kari Lake is asking the court to quickly issue a judgment and to decide how much she will pay Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer in the defamation case he brought against her, according to a filing in Maricopa County Superior Court on Tuesday.Richer sued Lake — who ran for governor in 2022 and is now running for U.S. Senate — for defamation last year, alleging that Lake made defamatory allegations that he had assisted in rigging the gubernatorial election against Lake. They are both Republicans.Richer’s legal team is treating Lake’s filing, a motion for default judgment, as an admission of liability.“She has decided she cannot defend herself in this case despite continuously saying she has evidence,” said Ben Berwick, counsel at Protect Democracy, among the firms representing Richer in the lawsuit.Lake’s attorneys do not defend Lake’s claims about Richer in the filing, nor do they challenge any of Richer’s arguments about the facts. Instead, they ask the court for a quick hearing to decide damages.After filing the document, Lake said in a video posted on X that Richer’s lawsuit against her was “lawfare,” and she wouldn’t be taking part in the lawsuit. It was unclear what she meant, and one of her attorneys, Jennifer Wright, told Votebeat to contact her communications team for additional comment.But Lake also said she would continue to fight for the state, saying “even if they leave me, my husband, and children penniless, that won’t stop us.”Richer, who sued in his personal capacity, had asked the court to award him compensatory and punitive damages, along with a statement admitting her claims were false. He also asked her to remove all of the false statements from the internet. While he did not state a dollar amount in his complaint, the case has been categorized as “tier 3,” which is for cases involving $300,000 in damages.After Lake’s filing, Richer said in a statement on X that the motion represented “complete and total surrender by @KariLake.”“Kari: You lied,” he wrote. “You just accepted liability. You will now have a judgment entered, in court, against you, for lying about our elections and me. It was all B.S. Now on to damages.”Lake made many claims about Richer after she lost the election, but Richer’s legal team zeroed in on specific statements she made that they said could be easily proven false and they were confident were not hyperbole, according to Berwick, with Protect Democracy.One of those claims was that Richer “intentionally printed 19-inch images on 20-inch ballots to sabotage the 2022 Arizona general election,” according to the complaint. Another was that Richer “inserted 300,000 ‘illegal,’ ‘invalid,’ ‘phony’, and/or ‘bogus’ early-vote ballots into the Maricopa County vote count.”Lake made the claims in January 2023, in front of a large crowd at her Save Arizona Rally. She told the crowd she lost her bid for governor because of Supervisor Bill Gates and Recorder Stephen Richer’s “rigged elections,” she said. As two TV screens behind her began to display a photo of Richer and Gates, the crowd began to chant.“Lock them up! Lock them up!” they shouted.Richer does not run Election Day voting. While Maricopa County saw widespread problems with its ballot printers on Election Day, Richer did not test or deploy that equipment in his role. Lake’s claims that these problems were intentional on behalf of county officials were rejected by the courts following her election, from the local courts to the Arizona Court of Appeals. An independent investigation into the problems also found that the problems were technical in nature.The courts also rejected Lake’s claim that fake early ballots were inserted into the election results. This claim stemmed from a whistleblower report that alleged the county was missing chain-of-custody documentation on those ballots. The court found that Lake did not have any evidence for her related claim. Lake’s attorneys were later sanctioned for saying the ballot insertion was an “undisputed” fact.Richer said in his complaint that these statements had caused harm to him and his family, including harassment that took a toll on his physical and mental health.Lake is asking for medical records to support his damages claim, and specifics to support his allegation that her claims cost him Republican support from donors and others.The defamation case was just about to enter the discovery phase ahead of trial, in which Lake would have been required to provide Richer’s attorneys with private statements she had made about her claims about Richer.“Just the idea that Stephen, who is a committed public servant who has shown a real commitment to the integrity of elections in Arizona, would intentionally sabotage her election is absurd on its face,” Berwick said on Monday, before Lake’s filing. “Among other things, they are both Republicans.”Jen Fifield is a reporter for Votebeat based in Arizona.

Why some voters jumped on the chance to vote early in-person, while others passed CC BY-NC-ND  — Votebeat is a nonprofit news organization reporting on voting access and election administration across the U.S. Sign up for our free newsletters here.In Michigan, Democrats have taken advantage of absentee voting at higher rates than Republicans. But the first person to vote in Harrison Township using the state’s new early in-person voting option was a Republican activist, Brian Pannebecker, who was on his way to a Donald Trump rally where he would join the former president on stage and encourage supporters to vote early.“If we don’t use every tool possible to vote and get people’s vote banked as early as possible, then we’re going to get crushed on Election Day,” he told Votebeat.Pannebecker was one of a group of voters from across the political spectrum Votebeat spoke with to understand who was taking advantage of the new early in-person voting program, and why or why not.Their motivations varied, but some did not use the option because they had not heard of early in-person voting, and others did not understand the difference between that and absentee voting. Still others knew of the new option but wanted to vote on the day of the primary because they enjoy the civic action.Detroiter Chris Harmon said he appreciated the change, though he thought it was a minor one and was skeptical that it would boost turnout.“I like the security of it, and it’s easy, and I go home knowing that my vote went through that machine,” he said.The presidential primary marks the first statewide election in which Michigan has adopted the new rules required by Prop 2, a 2022 citizen ballot initiative approved by 60% of voters that aimed to expand voting access.Among other provisions, it mandated nine days of early in-person voting, which began on Feb. 17 for the presidential primary and ran until Sunday. The new process is similar to absentee voting, but includes a significant procedural difference. A Michigan voter could previously obtain an absentee ballot, fill it out, and hand it to an election official in a clerk’s office.The new law gives voters the opportunity to place their ballot directly in the tabulators, just as they would on election day. The vote is immediately counted by the machine, instead of counted later, as would be the case with an absentee ballot.The secretary of state on Monday reported about 78,000 people statewide had taken advantage of early in-person voting, while 934,000 had returned absentee ballots so far.Detroit resident Michael Curry said he normally votes by mail because he has health issues that make it difficult for him to visit a polling place. But on Thursday, he went to the Detroit Bureau of Elections because the state sent him a ballot for the Republican primary by mistake and he wanted to vote in the Democratic primary.Curry said he would put the ballot in the tabulator himself instead of handing it to an election official.“And I’m going to feel good about it,” he said, but added he would return to voting by mail in the future.Other voters, including Val Stevens of Hamtramck, were less inclined to cast ballots early.“I like participating on Election Day because it feels like I’m interacting with my community,” Stevens said. “It’s nice to see people I know personally while we’re all participating in the voting process.”Hamtramck resident Jeff Fournier, Stevens’ husband, votes in every election and is civically engaged, but said he had never before heard of early in-person voting.“That’s cool,” he said when the process was explained to him, but he added that “it would be even cooler” if election day were a holiday.He said he has voted absentee in the past when he is out of town but tries to make it to the polls on the day of the election. Though he supports the expansion of voting access and thinks early in-person voting is a good idea, he said he’ll still vote in person on Tuesday.“Honestly, I think of alternative ways to vote as something that helps people who otherwise have trouble voting,” he said.Among those who did not understand the difference between the two options is Hamtramck resident Mo, a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Yemen who said he did not feel comfortable sharing his full name.“If the vote counts either way, then I’m happy with doing it either way,” Mo said.In St. Clair Shores in Macomb County, Republican Chris Vitale, a city council member, said he is also encouraging Trump supporters to vote early, even if he wishes it weren’t an option. He said Michigan has roughly an equal number of Republican and Democratic voters who are politically active and will vote in most elections.But most of the electorate, Vitale said, are not consistent voters, especially if there is something else they need to do on election day besides casting a ballot. He said this group is more likely to utilize absentee or early in-person voting. Democrats in Michigan have been much more successful about mobilizing liberal-leaning voters in that group to vote, he added.“You can’t ignore that vast group, and if one side is going to go after it, then the other side is going to have to go after it, too. We’ve got to capture those people,” Vitale said.Pannebecker, the early voter in Harrison Township, said he did not trust the security of early in-person voting, noting that other countries, like France, only allow voting on Election Day, and “there is no reason the US can’t either.” (Experts have said there are several reasons why France, a much smaller county with one race on the ballot, can handle single-day voting more easily.) But Pannebecker said he will still continue to urge Republicans to vote early.“I’m walking the walk and practicing what I preach even if I don’t like it,” he said. “I think we should have to vote in one day ... but it gives everyone a 10-day window to get their ballot in, so if they are sick on election day, or they do have a car accident or they are called out of town on business, then their votes are already banked.”Votebeat contributor Tom Perkins is a freelance reporter in Hamtramck, Michigan. ...
