The panel affirmed the district court’s dismissal for lack of standing of an action, brought before the 2022 general election by former Republican nominees for Governor and Secretary of State of Arizona, alleging that Arizona’s use of electronic tabulation systems violated the federal Constitution.
The gravamen of Plaintiffs’ operative complaint is that notwithstanding safeguards, electronic tabulation systems are particularly susceptible to hacking by non-governmental actors who intend to influence election results. On appeal, Plaintiffs conceded that their arguments were limited to potential future hacking, and not based on any past harm. The panel held that because Plaintiffs are no longer nominated candidates for state office and no longer seek relief related to the 2022 election, they likely now lacked standing on that ground. But even assuming Plaintiffs could continue to claim standing as prospective voters in future elections, they had not alleged a particularized injury and therefore failed to establish the kind of injury Article III requires.
None of Plaintiffs’ allegations supported a plausible inference that their individual votes in future elections will be adversely affected by the use of electronic tabulation, particularly given the robust safeguards in Arizona law, the use of paper ballots, and the post-tabulation retention of those ballots. The panel concluded that speculative allegations that voting machines may be hackable were insufficient to establish an injury in fact under Article III.
Gee, another “we’re not saying they didn’t do anything wrong, we’re just saying you don’t have the right to point it out” case . . .
She didn’t “loose” [sic], the case was dismissed. Yet another one of those.

The Ninth Circus might as well as ruled that vote fraud is legal, if enough of the Secretary of State’s office and state judiciary are all in on it.
I’m guessing that only significant evidence of criminality has the slightest degree of judiciary interest.
Voting in the US has unequivocally become a pretense of Constitutional rights & responsivities.
Az expected; now on to the AZ Supreme Court, then the US Supreme Court.
9th Circut Arizona Court? Title had me confused.
Liberal judges protect democrat party again.
Notice how the blue-eyed blondes have become the most vilified and persecuted.
The courts are corrupt and they they are also terrified to take on vote fraud matters. The deep state has ways to punish them.
Oh man I always thought FReepers did the “loose/lose” thing on purpose to be funny. What a bummer.
omg.....another flimsy techno ruling...”no standing”...what fresh hell is this....
The stooges appointed by The Tater have shifted the Ninth Circus balance to the DNC stooges, 15 to 14, for en banc considerations.
This is what caused the advocate-grifters for "the homeless" to defeat any attempt to boot them out of small cities in the West that they were wrecking.
But in the headline. I’m losing intelligence reading this crap
How can the aggrieved party not have standing?
Reality is tough. :-)
She seriously thinks she can win the Senate. I don’t know I don’t know why she didn’t do a recall like she said she would.
