PHOENIX, Ariz. (NBC) - Democratic Governor-Elect Katie Hobbs has filed for sanctions against her GOP opponent, Kari Lake.

The request comes less than 48 hours after a judge ruled against Lake's efforts to have herself declared governor-elect.

Hobbs and Maricopa County filed for the sanctions Monday, seeking a little more than $25,000 from Lake.

That figure includes attorney fees for the state's most populous county and Hobbs.

In the filing, the county took aim at Lake's remarks before the election, indicating she would not accept the results unless she won.
