Republican Mark Finchem is dropping his bid to overturn the 2022 race for secretary of state that he lost, after a trial judge rejected his claim.
Howard Fischer Republican Mark Finchem is dropping his bid to overturn the 2022 race for secretary of state that he lost, after a trial judge rejected it.
Finchem's attorney, Daniel McCauley, also noted that Republican Abe Hamadeh has so far failed to convince a trial judge to set aside the 2022 results showing he lost the race for attorney general to Democrat Kris Mayes.Also, while both Lake and Hamadeh continue their appeals, their margins of loss were far less than Finchem's. He lost to Democrat Adrian Fontes by more than 120,000 votes out of more than 2.5 million cast.
But McCauley told Capitol Media Services this may not be the end of Finchem's chances of becoming secretary of state. The key, he said, is the still-pending litigation by Lake. She has raised a variety of legal issues, many of them relating to whether early ballots were counted that shouldn't have been.
Regardless, Finchem is not dropping his appeal of the order by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Melissa Julian that he pay $40,565 in legal fees and costs to Fontes. Also still on appeal is a separate $7,434 penalty the judge imposed against McCauley for filing a lawsuit the judge previously called"groundless and not brought in good faith.''
