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.
But that’s the legal requirement of all civil cases especially when the case is filed by a single entity and not a class of people.
Usually when the Democrats file a challenge to election laws it’s about a civil rights as in the laws discriminates against African Americans
In this case the Kari Lake campaign filed the case
... and once again the court punted rather than actually hear the case. Our 'legal system' (justice has nothing whatsoever to do with it) is broken in major ways.
Perhaps they would have a better chance if they filed a civil rights case or my suggestion is to attack voter rolls for being corrupt and showing how many dead people and people who have moved and ineligible to vote still voting which disenfranchises everyone
It’s hard to claim the justice system is corrupt when courts all are ruling the same way in these cases
Why?
Are they getting some kind of payoff?
Are these people compromised?
Are they involved in some sort of malfeasance/racketeering? (There have been accusations that many in government are on the drug cartel's payrolls?)
Or, could it be treason -Marxists working to destroy the Constitution, and overthrow the government, by removing the people's right to choose their leaders, in free and fair elections?
🤔
Maybe it’s just as simple as the reasons states in the ruling?
series?
loose the attitude and losin’ uo, this is hugh and a tradition on freerep...
Another “lack of standing” POS decision.
What?!?
They are ruling that she is not an aggrieved party, especially since she is no longer a candidate.
Yes they are compromised and yes this is treason.
