View Source | December 20, 2022 10:16 pm
- Arizona Republican Attorney General candidate Abe Hamadeh’s election challenge will proceed to trial, after an Arizona judge denied Democratic Attorney General-elect Kris Mayes’ motion for dismissal.
- Mohave County Superior Court Judge Lee F. Jantzen did dismiss five of Hamadeh’s counts on Tuesday, but allowed his other claims to proceed to an evidentiary hearing scheduled for Dec. 23. Presently Hamadeh trails Mayes by 511 votes.
- Jantzen noted in the ruling that “[t]his case is different from [other election challenges taking place] because the Plaintiff is not alleging political motives or fraud or personal agendas being pushed. It is simply alleging misconduct by mistake, or omission by election officials, led to erroneous count of votes and which if true could have led to an uncertain result.”
