BREAKING, TURNABOUT IS FAIR PLAY: Stephen Richer - PERSONALLY - SUES Kari Lake and Her Entities For Defamatory Statements

Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer has turned the tables on Kari Lake and her fundraising entities, suing them for defamation. He is suing them personally, alleging that false claims alleging "bogus ballot injection", and "ballot size sabotage" have caused significant harm to him and to our elections.

Experienced defamation and First Amendment attorney Dan Maynard is representing Richer in the case against Lake, Lake for Arizona and her Save Arizona Fund.

Richer has been the Republican Recorder since winning the office in the 2020 election, and recently began raising money for a reelection campaign next year.

Richer told Arizona's Law earlier today - between the end of his testimony in the John Eastman disbarment proceeding and filing of the defamation suit - that he yearns for the return of a sane Republican Party.

In his op-ed on the Arizona Republic's website, he says "I’ve even lost friends and lifelong relationships because Lake has falsely painted me as a criminal."
