An Arizona judge has dismissed a lawsuit from Mark Finchem, the Republican nominee for secretary of state who challenged the results in his race, confirming Democrat Adrian Fontes’s victory in the contest.
Mark Finchem, the Republican nominee for secretary of state who challenged the results in his race, confirming Democrat Adrian Fontes’s victory in the contest.
But Finchem and Arizona GOP gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake each filed separate lawsuits stating that the issues disenfranchised largely Republican voters, who are more likely to vote on Election Day instead of in advance or through mail-in ballots. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Melissa Julian rejected Finchem’s arguments, noting that the Election Assistance Commission , which supervises the accreditation process, provides for the process for testing and certification of voting system hardware and software, but states can choose whether to adopt it.
Finchem argued that Hobbs committed misconduct in her oversight of the state’s elections, but none of his allegations reached the level of “misconduct” required to survive a motion to dismiss.“Tonight’s ruling is about protecting the will of the voters, not about any single politician.”
