Overview

• Three lawyers who represented former gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake in election-related matters are facing potential disciplinary action after the State Bar of Arizona found probable cause to take formal action.
• The lawyers, Kurt Olsen, Bryan Blehm and Andrew Parker, were previously sanctioned by judges for their involvement in Lake's election challenge initiatives and for pushing for a hand count of ballots in the previous year.
• Blehm and Olsen were implicated in a case where they were ordered to pay a $2,000 sanction for making false statements in Lake's legal challenge to her electoral defeat against Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs.
• Blehm is also facing an additional complaint regarding a tweet he shared alleging that the CIA and the Department of Justice colluded to pressure the Arizona Supreme Court into establishing a misinformation board.
• Another order determined probable cause against Parker and Olsen in a case they initiated on behalf of Lake and former Secretary of State candidate Mark Finchem, challenging the use of electronic ballot-counting machines in the election.
