Calls Grow for Katie Hobbs to Not Oversee Arizona Election | Time

As election officials across the country brace for candidates to contest the election results in possibly unprecedented numbers, the most explosive challenge could unfold in Arizona, where Republican candidate for governor Kari Lake is preparing for a fight.

The former local news anchor who s cast doubt on President Joe Biden s Arizona victory, even though multiple investigations have found no evidence of substantial fraud has made election integrity a centerpiece of her campaign. On Tuesday, her campaign hired one of the lawyers who represented Donald Trump s 2020 election lawsuits, the latest signal that she s gearing up for legal battles with her Democratic opponent, Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs. And members of both parties now say that Hobbs may be feeding the potential for conflict by planning to oversee an election in which she s a candidate.

Yup, looks like a conflict alright. But I suspect there are those who will argue it is not.
