Lake lost the election to Hobbs, but refused to concede and filed several unsuccessful lawsuits to have the results overturned and be declared the winner. Lake was sued for defamation regarding supposed allegations that a Republican election official intentionally sabotaged the 2022 election; Lake proceeded to request default judgment against herself in the lawsuit, and damages owed by Lake are to be assessed.
