In addition to her work on the slate of false electors — which included both Ward and her husband, Michael — Ward used her perch atop the Arizona GOP to stoke false claims of election fraud in the weeks following the conclusion of voting. Both Wards also joined a lawsuit against then-Vice President Mike Pence in late December 2020, amid a campaign by Trump to pressure Pence to help subvert the election.
Ward indicated her intent to appeal the ruling in a notice filed with the district court Friday morning. An attorney for her did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
