Arizona Appeals Court Grants Kari Lake's Request to Expedite 2022 Election ChallengeThe Arizona Court of Appeals agreed to expedite the case upon Lake's request in a January 9 order, setting the court date to consider the challenge to February 1, The Epoch Times reported.

After seeing the case ultimately tossed out, Lake swiftly submitted petitions to the Arizona Appeals Court and Supreme Court. Though the Supreme Court refused to take up the case, the Appeals Court has agreed to hear it.
