Election Lawsuits Take Center Stage Across Arizona
Arizona Independent ^ | November 28, 2022 | Terri Jo Neff

Posted on 11/29/2022 7:00:06 AM PST by Presbyterian Reporter

A judge suggested Monday there could be “several” elections challenges filed in courts across Arizona in the coming days, but as of the end of the day there were six key active lawsuits which could reasonably impact Arizona’s election results.

A lawsuit filed last week by Abe Hamadeh, the Republican candidate for Attorney General, along with the Republican National Committee was the subject of oral arguments Monday afternoon about whether the lawsuit should be dismissed.

Hamadeh and the RNC allege myriad errors involving the administration of the 2022 General Election throughout the state. Some of those errors allegedly involved election board misconduct, the tallying of unlawful ballots due to improper signature verification, and the erroneous counting of votes.

Their lawsuit names Democratic AG candidate Kris Mayes and Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs as defendants, along with the state’s 15 county recorders and the 15 county boards of supervisors.

However, attorneys for Mayes and Hobbs filed separate motions to dismiss the lawsuit based on arguments that such a challenge cannot be filed until after the statewide election results are canvassed next week.

Judge Randall Warner of the Maricopa County Superior Court heard oral arguments on the motions Monday. The numerous parties taking part agreed that even if Warner dismisses the lawsuit as premature, it will simply be refiled in the next week or so.

As one of those people who actually watched Maricopa hearings yesterday, it will be interesting to see if these lawsuits are allowed to proceed.

The Maricopa election managers painted a picture of 'everything was done according to the book'.

Well, when those managers are put on the witness stand and examined by the plaintiffs, they may face some very tough questions to the contrary.

We need to keep in mind that there were only 240,000 people who voted at one of the more than 200 Maricopa poll stations on election day.

And with only, on average, 2200 voters per poll station, there were major problems.

So why did Maricopa have all these problems with so few voters when they did ‘everything according to the book’???????

And if there were so many problems made public on election day, then how corrupt are the voter registration rolls in Maricopa?????

I thought they had a piece of it when they mentioned Hobbs, as a candidate, did not relinquish her AZ SoS election duties as state law requires, was allowed unescorted access to counting area prohibited to other candidates, rendering the election UNLAWFUL. Then they will have something to work with.

I suggest Kari Lake parrot verbatim Stacy Abrams claims of a stolen election from the past 4 years and see how long it takes the media to catch on and stop reporting her.

I recall from yesterday’s hearing that there were something like 500,000 mail-in ballots and less than 20,000 had signature verification problems.

If these cases go to trial, then we will learn more about the signature verification process.

“””I thought they had a piece of it when they mentioned Hobbs, as a candidate, did not relinquish her AZ SoS election duties as state law requires,.”””


That was mentioned by one of the Kari Lake supporters.

The election managers, nor the Board of Supervisors, mentioned that.

So I do not know if the law required Katie Hobbs to recuse herself.

As though nobody couldn’t see this coming. That is a direct result of NOT fully addressing the bullshit 2020 Election Theft.

I live in a rural Nevada valley.

More than 4000 voters

NO voting problems-—

Except 2016 Caucus-—where you must be in person-—they ran out of ballots 3 times & had to use school printers to make more.

Heavy Trump supporters.

It's totally USELESS to cite official vote counts, brought to you by CRIMINAL FRAUDSTER ELECTION OFFICIALS.

"Garbage in, garbage out"..

There's no telling how many Kari Lake voters were told to go to another polling location WITHOUT CHECKING OUT of their current location as REQUIRED BY POLL PROTOCOLS.

Also, do we REALLY know how many Kari Lake votes that went into "DOOR #3" only to have been COMMINGLED WITH ALREADY COUNTED VOTES there were?

Citing official vote totals is as worthless as the trusting the FOXES GUARDING THE HEN HOUSE.

THE ONLY RECOURSE IS TO RE-DO THE ELECTION IN MARICOPA COUNTY USING PAPER BALLOTS ONLY.

Maricopa exclusively uses paper ballots.

The problem in Maricopa is with the printers that print the ballot at each poll station.

I found it interesting that Maricopa created an election system designed to fail.

If you are not aware, in Maricopa county a person can go to any of the 223 polling stations on election day and the printer will print a ballot specific to their precinct.

This idea works great if the printer works great. Ooops—on election day the printers malfunctioned.

Have a new election. Paper ballots, same day, ID, purple finger, no machines. For old folks votes, send 2, a dem and a repub to personally get the votes of all interested (and coherent old people) I know I am dreaming, it will never happen, but I would be very very very interested to see those results. Make it a paid vacation day state wide if they must. If katie the hobbit still wins, then so be it, but I have the feeling the results would end up massively different.

Imagine the implications nation wide if such a tight vote took place and massively changed the results by an enormous margin

My understanding is that the printers worked fine!

THE READERS DID NOT WORK! And they didn’t work because they were set up WRONG!

If I remember correctly, the readers were set up to read the mail-in ballots which were printed on 20” length paper. But, the precinct-specific ballots were printed on 19” paper, so they had to be resized before they were run through the readers...this distorted the alignments on the readers, causing massive kick-outs, rejects, and “door #3” requirements!

You cannot convince me that was not PLANNED!!

They had two kinds of ‘on-demand’ ballot printers. The OKI and Lexmark printers. The oki printers were causing the problems with the tabulators being unable to read the paper ballot.
