Kari Lake and Mark Finchem have filed a new motion in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, alleging that the 2020 and 2022 elections in Maricopa County were "no more reliable than a Ouija board." Filed by Attorney Kurt Olsen, the motion claims Maricopa County used uncertified, untested software during these elections, as reported by open.ink.

The filing revisits allegations from 2022, suggesting Maricopa officials made false statements about the reliability of their election processes. It asserts that the county used illegally modified software not certified by the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) or the Arizona Secretary of State and failed to conduct required Logic and Accuracy (L&A) testing on the actual voting machines.

Olsen’s motion claims these misrepresentations were repeated multiple times in court, including in testimony from Scott Jarrett, Co-Director of Maricopa Elections. Expert witnesses Ben Cotton and Clay Parikh found discrepancies in the software's hash values, indicating possible alterations.

The motion also criticizes the county's pre-election testing procedures, alleging they only tested a few spare machines instead of all tabulators, violating state law. Lake and Finchem argue these actions constitute fraud on the court, undermining the legitimacy of the election results.
