Now, the BOS wanted a hand count of the votes to remedy this. Hobbs wouldn’t concede. She demurred to a partial recount. She was arguing it would delay the process too much.
In the time she was going back and forth threatening legal action and the BOS, they could have completed a full count.

Making an appearance again is Katie Hobbs email to CISA and Twitter attempting to censor on social media. If you have been following my feed you know the extent of this, but it makes a more interesting appearance here, because Mark Finchem’s twitter account was suspended a week before the election.

Apparently, Finchem has information that it was Hobbs who was behind his account being suspended, and if Elon Musk hadn’t have stepped in to remedy, he would have remained suspended.

“Illegal Votes”
There are very, very specific rules for the certification of machines. The lawsuit introduces a subject matter expert to the equation. Michael Schaefer was asked in 2020 to evaluate the labs that certify the machines.
The Voting System Test Laboratory Program requires that the certificate be signed by the Chair of the EAC Commission and ONLY the chair.
In this instance, the chair (Thomas Hicks) didn’t sign it. Mona Harington, an ineligible person did.

Now, this could be considered a technicality. But why bother having the rule if it doesn’t matter if it’s followed? If you have a judge that is actually going by the letter of the law, this in and of itself is disqualifying.
That’s the rub. Few judges do, especially in election lawsuits. What is the point of even making the rules if they aren’t followed?
Incidentally, Finchem requested the recusal of the first judge assigned to this case, and it was granted.

Finchem’s attorney believes this to be important as well:
“This is not a form over substance argument. The verification criteria were formulated by legislators to create a public policy via legislation to prevent exactly the chaos that occurred in this election. They created a public policy to assure the public that as our culture moves deeper and deeper into the computer/information age every vote will be accurately tabulated by fully vetted technology.”

This next section basically reaffirms everything we have detailed thus far, and reminds the court ANY ELECTOR has the right to challenge an election, especially if what happened here, happens, and there is a law assuring just that.
I will point out the differing assertions so we don’t reinvent the wheel here.

The key things so far are basically negligence, self dealing, and flouting the law. Also, failing to properly supervise the certification of machines, and also, a new one:

How did this affect the vote, though? Well, Finchem alleges more than 201K votes would have gone to Finchem if none of this happened.
I am not sure how they got to that number, but that is what they allege.

Answer?
“The Arizona Supreme Court has developed a rule for deducting illegal votes from otherwise valid election results when it is impossible to determine for whom the ineligible voters actually voted. Specifically, unless it can be shown for which candidate they were cast, they are to be deducted from the whole vote of the election division, and not from the candidate having the largest number.
Applying this rule, illegal votes are proportionately deducted from both candidates.”

And we are now at the Demand for Relief. This is what Finchem is asking the judge to provide as his remedy for all we have detailed thus far.
He wants inspection of ballots, including their envelopes and signatures to be able to compare.
(I think this is interesting given he hasn’t raised a signature or mail in issue in his suit. I am not sure this relief would be granted given it wasn’t raised…)
He wants the judge to order that the election is annulled.
He wants the judge to declare him the winner, or order a paper remote.
He wants a statewide new election, with hand counted ballots. And
He wants the judge to direct the AG to investigate Hobbs.
And also his attorneys fees, etc.
This is a steep ask of a judge, but makes sense given what he is alleging in the lawsuit.
There are another hundred or so pages of Exhibits attached to the complaint.

Next, we will briefly cover the motion to dismiss, because in most cases their BS is always frustrating to read and extremely boring. It’s typically a load of case law and precedent and “standing” arguments. There are TWO in this case, and Finchem will file his reply to those today.
Then, at the end of the week, there will be a hearing where the judge will hear arguments on those, and determine if they dismiss the case or move on to evidentiary.

Hobbs starts by saying that vote differential between Finchem and Fontes is big enough that we know that the election was won by Fontes. She goes on to say that the Plaintiff is throwing around unfounded conspiracy theories.
