Arizona Judge Throws Out Republican Party Attempt to Delay Certification of Vote in Maricopa County

Source: Law and Crime

A judge on the Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County dismissed yet another Republican challenge in an election-related case on Thursday.

This time, Republicans wanted the judge to order Maricopa County to conduct a do-over of the “hand count audit of ballots […] using a sample of vote centers,” which was performed on Election Day. The lawsuit also tried to delay certification of the election results in a county that went to Joe Biden by more than 45,000 votes.

Judge John Hannah granted Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes and Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs’s (D) motion to dismiss, dismissed the GOP lawsuit with prejudice, and denied the GOP’s application for a preliminary injunction.

...and a new one after each of the previous is dismissed, until time runs out and Ducey and the GOP have “no choice” but to appoint Trump electors.
