Arizona’s top election official seeks investigation into Republican Kari Lake

Losing gubernatorial candidate may have violated a state law that protects voter's signatures, Democrat Adrian Fontes says

The Arizona secretary of state, Adrian Fontes, asked the state attorney general Monday to investigate and potentially charge the losing Republican candidate for governor with a felony for sharing images of voters' signatures online.

Fontes, a Democrat, said GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake may have violated a state law that protects a voter's signature from being accessed or shared by anyone other than the voter or an authorized government official in the scope of the official's duties". Violations of this law carry a class six felony charge, the lowest-level felony in Arizona.
