A federal judge in Arizona became the latest to eviscerate an election-fraud lawsuit brought by former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell, rejecting her claim that voting machines had been infiltrated by foreign agents in cahoots with thousands of Democratic election workers.

U.S. District Judge Diane Humetewa in Phoenix on Wednesday granted a dismissal request by Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who argued Powell hadn’t provided any evidence that Dominion Voting Systems Inc. machines had been hacked by Iran and China. Humetewa agreed saying Powell’s vague claims about possible software flaws and the alleged involvement of the late Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez didn’t cut it.
