AZ Supreme Court tosses Scottsdale attorney election challenge

The Arizona Supreme Court has thrown out a bid to void the results of the entire 2022 election.

The justices said the appeal from a Scottsdale attorney was flawed in multiple ways.  

In a brief order Thursday, the majority of the justices noted that lawyer Ryan Heath had cited evidence already introduced by Kari Lake in another case this year.

Heath, who represented Cochise County Supervisor Tim Crosby, was asking the Supreme Court to order Maricopa County to redo its early ballot signature verification process.

 

A Scottsdale attorney repping a Cochise County supervisor wanting to void an election in Maricopa County?

Is that kind of geography lesson on Arizona's bar exam?

Taking out the trash/Friday newsdump: Az Supes side with the AZ Legislature against society

[start sarcasm]

I'm as shocked as I know you are.

On Friday, December 30, the justices on the Arizona Supreme Court handed down a unanimous decision (justices Brutinel and Bolick recusing) upholding a decision by the Maricopa County Superior court, one overturned by the Arizona Court of Appeals, that summarily dismissed a 2019 lawsuit by some nonprofits against the Arizona Legislature.

From the decision by the supes -

Yes, they're ruling that (alleged) public servants acting in a manner that is contemptuous of the public constitutes a "nonjusticiable political question".

If this were football, that would be called "punting the ball away"...if the special teams unit for society and the officials for society were helping the other team.

The opinion by the AZ Supes is here.

The case number in Maricopa County Superior Court is CV2019-014945.  The case history page is here.
