PHOENIX (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to consider a request by Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake to ban the use of electronic vote-counting machines in Arizona.

The Supreme Court’s decision on Monday not to take their vote-counting case marks the end of the road for the effort to require a hand count of ballots.
