GOP candidate Abe Hamadeh claims there were mistakes and illegal actions in the election for attorney general, won by Democrat Kris Mayes.
Howard Fischer Capitol Media Services PHOENIX — The apparent losing candidate for attorney general is asking a judge to block the secretary of state from declaring Kris Mayes the winner.
But they say the other issues, including"errors and inaccuracies'' in how some polling places were managed, coupled with problems in processing and tabulation of some ballots, makes these issues"material in the race for attorney general.'' They cite a provision of the Elections Code which they say requires a judge to remedy any problems"and the declared result conforms to the will of the electorate.
When they went to a second site they were given provisional ballots based on electronic poll books showing they had voted at the first site because poll workers there never checked them out. And based on that, those provisional ballots were never counted. All that effort is likely based on contentions by GOP officials that Republicans are more likely to have waited until Election Day to vote rather than cast an early ballot. If that contention proves true, that could mean those uncounted provisional ballots and the votes from people turned away on Election Day are more likely to swing in Hamadeh's favor.
