An expert witness called by lawyers representing Maricopa County made it clear that there was no substance to any of failed Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake's claim that Election Day issues in the county cost her the election.
"My high-level response is that all the claims that were made in the complaint about the effects of voter wait times, the claims of disenfranchisement, claims about a disproportionate effect on Republicans and their voters, that they are all based on pure speculation," said Kenneth Mayer, a professor of political science at UW Madison. "There's simply no data to support any of those claims, and there's quite a bit of data that suggests this did not happen."
