A state judge dismissed a lawsuit from the Republican candidate for Arizona’s attorney general that challenged the results of the state’s general election, arguing the case was filed prematurely.
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Randall Warner rejected the lawsuit that was brought by GOP candidate Abraham Hamadeh and the Republican National Committee that contested the results of the race for state attorney general, arguing the election was “afflicted with certain errors and inaccuracies” that caused the Republican to lose. However, Warner dismissed the lawsuit on Tuesday, ruling the parties cannot file a lawsuit until the election results are certified by the state.
Two Republican supervisors in Cochise County, Arizona, voted to delay the county’s election results until Friday — four days after the state-mandated deadline to certify results by Monday. The vote quickly spurred court battles from state officials as they scramble to certify election results statewide, which requires certified results from all 15 counties.
Hamadeh does not need to wait until the recount is complete before filing his lawsuit, Warner noted in his ruling. However, he must wait until the statewide certification is official before he can mount a challenge to the election results. Hamadeh has indicated he will refile the lawsuit after the statewide certification is complete.
