Judge Denies Maricopa County’s Motion to Dismiss Kari Lake’s Special Action Complaint for Voter Signature Records – Judge “Not Convinced That The Ballot Affidavit is a Voter Registration Record” (VIDEO)
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge John Hannah on Monday partially denied Maricopa County’s Motion to Dismiss Kari Lake’s lawsuit against Maricopa County for 2022 mail-in ballot affidavit envelopes.
These records were not provided to Kari Lake and her attorneys before the recent trial with Judge Peter Thompson. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Thompson dismissed Lake’s case despite evidence that hundreds of thousands of signatures were “verified” by Maricopa County in less than three seconds each.
Maricopa County Attorney Joe LaRue argued at the hearing Monday that public records law does not apply to voter registration records and ballot affidavit signatures. Despite exemptions provided in ARS 16-168(F) for access to voter signatures, LaRue claimed that the statute prohibits disclosure of these records.
