Lawyers for Lake focused on problems with ballot printers at some polling places in Maricopa County, home to more than 60% of the state’s voters. The defective printers produced ballots that were too light to be read by the on-site tabulators at polling places. In her appeal, her lawyers argued a trial court judge applied the wrong standard of proof in deciding the case.
