Attorney for secretary of state said attorney general teamed with GOP group to file claim over election manual, then touted lawsuit in campaign information.
PHOENIX — A lawsuit filed by Attorney General Mark Brnovich is largely an effort to get traction for his bid for U.S. Senate, an attorney for Secretary of State Katie Hobbs said Thursday.
And she noted that some of the items that Brnovich now finds objectionable actually were approved by his office for inclusion in the 2019 manual. The manual provides guidance to county officials on some of the nuts-and-bolts issues of running elections, ranging from the process of voter registration to certification of election equipment and how initiative measures should be worded on ballots.
"In the end, his obvious political motives help explain the absurdity of plaintiffs' claims,'' she said. She said it's even more complex than that, pointing out that, based on Brnovich's logic, the governor also would have veto power over the manual. And if the governor disagreed with the attorney general, Desai said, that would create chaos as courts try to figure out whose views prevail.
