Kari Lake and Abe Hamadeh Fight On Over AZ Election Results
Republican Arizona Attorney General candidate Abe Hamadeh and AZ Gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake have not given up.
Abe Hamadeh is still contesting the election which went to Democrat Kris Mayes by just 280 votes.
His first lawsuit challenging the results was dismissed as premature, and his second was thrown out by Mohave County Superior Court Judge Lee Jantzen for not showing there were enough problematic votes to change the election.
On Tuesday Hamadeh and the RNC, along with two individuals, filed a motion for a new trial, based on additional evidence of voter disenfranchisement.
We simply ask that we be given the opportunity to apply the Pinal County process across the board to conduct a physical inspection and hand count of ballots that if the Pinal County issue repeats itself anywhere else in the state could be outcome determinative in this election.

Hundreds of uncounted ballots were recently found in Pinal County.
Hamadeh said on the Charlie Kirk Show, “We didn’t have these facts. But you know who had these facts? It was Secretary of State @katiehobbs. She had all these facts and she withheld them from the court, she withheld them from me. We weren’t able to present any of this evidence.”
The 645-page Motion for a New Trial including exhibits cited Rule 59(a)(1) of the Arizona Rules of Procedure, which allows for a new trial if there is “newly discovered material evidence.”
The motion cited the 507 new votes found in Pinal County, which shrunk Mayes’ lead from 511 to 280.
The motion argued that “the vote count totals are likely inaccurate, with thousands of Arizonans’ votes not counted, thus casting further doubt about the actual result.” This information was not available at trial, Hamadeh said. “Given this new margin the tiniest errors in counting are enough to change the results, or at least cast them into doubt.”
Hamadeh said Hobbs knew about the missing votes eight days before she told him or the public. “If this is not grounds for a new trial, then nothing is,” he declared in the motion.
The ballots were not counted properly due to poll workers not realizing the voting machines had not read them. Due to this, Hamadeh said, “further ballot inspection is necessary to ensure the accuracy of the Attorney General election results.”

Crooked Katie.

Kari Lake called out Pinal County and Katie Hobbs in multiple tweets.
Pinal County discovered a 600 vote discrepancy during @AbrahamHamadeh's recount.@katiehobbs intercepted this information & hid it from Abe & me while we were filling our lawsuits.
And now we find out their Elections Director was given a $25,000 bonus!

In the August Primary Pinal County RAN OUT of Republican ballots 1 hour into Election Day.
25% of vote centers ran out of Republican ballots.
Then in the General Election more major problems—their answer?
“NEXT time we’ll have a solid election.”
Our Elections are a joke https://t.co/0zOPlXRFQ1

Kari also tweeted an update on her case.
My court case will be going before the Appeals Court prior to the Arizona Supreme Court because it's already been scheduled for review.
This decision was done without prejudice & I am confident the case will end up in their hands eventually.
We're moving forward.
