Judge dismisses central part of AZ GOP election lawsuit

Ward’s lawsuit contained no evidence of her allegations, and she asked (Judge) Warner to allow her to examine duplicated ballots and the signatures on the envelopes used to mail early ballots. Warner agreed to let her examine 100 of each, and after attorneys found two duplicated ballots that mistakenly subtracted votes from Trump, the county agreed to let them examine up to 2,500 more.

Attorneys and election officials were able to examine 1,526 additional ballots on Wednesday. And the results didn’t bode well for Ward’s attempt to show that improperly duplicated ballots may have cost Trump the race in Arizona.

Nine of the 1,626 duplicate ballots examined had errors — seven of which cost Trump votes and two that took votes from Biden. Scott Jarrett, Maricopa County’s director of election day voting, testified on Thursday that if that error rate were applied to the nearly 28,000 total duplicated ballots cast in the county, Trump would gain a mere 103 votes.

Biden won Arizona by 10,457 votes.
