The GOP method for dealing with debt: Incur it then try to have others pay for it

From the calendar of the Arizona Supreme Court for next Tuesday, January 9 -

This stems from an earlier case -

I believe that this appeal stems from Maricopa County civil case CV2022-013185, but I'm not sure.

Like the case where they have filed for attorney's fees, they initiated the case against the same defendants, and had most of the same lawyers.  Maybe their lawyers believe that best way for them to get paid is to sue someone and then have that someone pay for that experience.

This whole garnered my interest due to an email that I received on Monday from the AZGOP -

It really would have been nice to receive their year-end email/money grab *before*, you know, the end of the year.  Not that they would ever receive money from me.

I'm just not a fan of sloppy, even from folks I disagree with.

Of course, neither the attorney's fees or the the money grab will address their underlying problem.

Arizona Republican Party’s fundraising abysmal in run up to pivotal 2024 election

The Arizona Republican Party’s fundraising efforts so far this year have been dismal, with Democrats outpacing them seven to one, leaving political operatives wondering if the party’s new chairman can right the ship in time to mount any sort of meaningful campaign in 2024. 

The party took in only $165,293 in contributions so far in 2023, as compared to the Arizona Democratic Party’s more than $1.15 million. While in recent years, the state Democratic Party has always taken in a larger amount of individual contributions  than the Republican Party, the GOP is struggling even more than usual to garner funding this year.
