An Arizona state senator is suing over the administration of the gubernatorial election in Maricopa County, arguing that voters in rural Mohave County have been disenfranchised by the issues that plagued the state's largest county on Election Day.
GOP state Sen. Sonny Borrelli, a Mohave County resident, is suing Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, and Maricopa County Director of Elections Scott Jarrett to nullify the Arizona gubernatorial election in Maricopa County.
Borrelli alleges in the lawsuit filed Monday that there were "multiple systemic failures" with how Maricopa County conducted the election, "including the County's improper and unauthorized delegation of its responsibilities to opaque, unproven software programs that improperly but unavoidably influenced the judgment of poorly trained workers tasked with signature verification, in violation of Arizona statutory law."
