A judge refused Friday to overturn the Arizona election for attorney general and declare Republican Abe Hamadeh the winner.
Howard Fischer Capitol Media Services A judge refused Friday to overturn the election for attorney general and declare Republican Abe Hamadeh the winner.
He said any mistakes that may have been made in how ballots were counted"were not enough to overcome the presumption the court has to have in election cases ... that the election was done correctly.'' The judge acknowledged there were 14 ballots presented — out of about 2,300 reviewed — where there could be some question of whether a vote should have been counted, whether for Hamadeh or for winning Democrat Kris Mayes. These were ballots where the marks were less than clear.
"For the most part, these 14 ballots would be voter error, not filling them out the way the instructions say,'' the judge said.
