The 2020 elections in Arizona have resulted in multiple election challenges, and voters who aware of the dubious nature of some of them might conclude that they are collectively “Much Ado About Nothing.” But at least one of the election lawsuits not only merits further consideration, it is worth the time of Arizona’s legal system to fully evaluate it instead of rushing to judgment.
“Lake’s lawsuit is a Hail Mary that seems as much about the 2020 election as the 2022 election, and it will be tough to convince the judge not to dismiss it early in the process.” said one legal observer, who was even tougher on challenges filed by Mark Finchem, Jeff Zink and State Senator Sonny Borrelli. “Finchem’s lawsuit (filed jointly with Zink) is stunningly bad and seems to be about just filing something so he can justify asking his supporters for contributions. And Borrelli’s seems more about publicizing a specific issue rather than seeking a legal remedy.”
