The Arizona Republican Party has asked a judge to bar Maricopa County from certifying its Nov. 3 election results, including Democrat Joe Bidens win over President Donald Trump, until the court issues a decision about the partys lawsuit seeking a new hand-count of a sampling of ballots.
The GOP made the request Monday night after the county revealed officials planned to approve the returns on Thursday or Friday. A judge is scheduled to hear arguments in the lawsuit Wednesday afternoon. The county faces a Nov. 23 deadline for certifying its results.
The lawsuit focuses on an audit of a sampling of ballots that is required to test the accuracy of tabulated results. The county has already completed the audit and said no discrepancies were found.
But the state party still wants the sample measured on a precinct level, rather than the audit that was conducted of the countys new vote centers, which let people vote at any location across the county.
The county has asked for the lawsuit to be dismissed, saying the GOP participated in the audit it now contests.
