Takeaways from Kari Lake's failed legal challenge to Ariz. election results
During a three-day trial last week, Lake's own witnesses detailed how that process did occur. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson ruled Monday that Lake failed to prove misconduct or illegal conduct by county election officials. The judge also confirmed the election of Gov.

Analysis | How the Republican Party became the party of Trump
When Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president on June 16, 2015, he changed the trajectory of the Republican Party. But four years after winning the presidency, Trump and Republicans are now on the outside looking in, having lost control of the House, the Senate and the White House. A fight to define the future of the Republican Party is playing out among a small, but influential, group of Republicans, even as Trump remains central to the party and to its identity.

Analysis | Nevada caucuses are Saturday. Here’s what to watch for.
The Iowa caucuses debacle and the subsequent delayed results was just about two weeks ago, but the cautionary tale still lingers ahead of Nevada, which is the next state to caucus Saturday. While the Nevada Democratic Party had originally planned to use the same app developer that Iowa used to report caucus results, they’ve eschewed those plans in light of the mess that ensued in the first-in-the-nation state. But that doesn’t mean that all potential voting confusion will slide out of frame.
