Hold tight folks, because things in Arizona just keep getting hotter!

A judge ordered both Kari Lake and Katie Hobbs to attend an emergency court hearing in regards to Lake’s election lawsuit.

Judge Peter Thompson is overseeing the lawsuit.

He ordered both candidates, as well as Maricopa County Board of Supervisors officials, to attend the hearing on Tuesday.

According to Lake, the judge noted the sheer volume of evidence compiled by her team.

Both Lake and Hobbs have until December 15th to file Motions To Dismiss, and oral arguments will be held on Monday, December 19th.

Evidence hearings will also be held that same week.

The Post Millennial reports with the latest:

On Tuesday, former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake appeared in virtual court alongside representatives for Governor-elect Katie Hobbs and other election officials.

The emergency hearing was ordered on Monday by Judge Peter A. Thompson of the Arizona Superior Court in Maricopa County, and marks the latest development in the lawsuit filed by Lake contesting the results of the 2022 General Election, according to the Arizona Sun Times.

The hearing was scheduled for 11 am PST, however, due to technical delays proceedings did not kick off until nearly noon. Earlier Tuesday morning, AZ Sen. Wendy Rogers tweeted out the meeting details, allowing anybody to enter.

Kari Lake had this reaction to how the hearing went:

Conservative Brief provided details on the judge’s order:

Judge Peter Thompson has ordered Republican candidate Kari Lake, Secretary of State and Governor-elect Katie Hobbs, and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors officials to appear at an emergency hearing on Tuesday, the Epoch Times reported.

“Judge Peter Thompson, in issuing the order, wrote that the court has ‘reviewed’ Lake’s ‘verified statement of election contest’ and said the ‘matter will be set on an accelerated basis.’ Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer and Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Gates were also ordered to attend the hearing, which will start at 2 p.m. ET,” the report said.

Maricopa County spokesman Fields Moseley said that the courts are the appropriate place to handle such claims and that Maricopa’s election division “looks forward to sharing facts about the administration of the 2022 General Election and our work to ensure every legal voter had an opportunity to cast their ballot,” Reuters reported.

Kari Lake has been building what she calls “the strongest election lawsuit in US history:”
