Republican Abe Hamadeh has asked a judge to declare him the winner over Democrat Kris Mayes, who had 511 more votes in the race for Arizona Attorney General.
Howard Fischer PHOENIX — Republican Abe Hamadeh asked a judge Friday to declare him the winner in the race for attorney general despite the fact that the final official tally showed him losing to Democrat Kris Mayes by 511 votes.
La Sota said those errors, taken in total, potentially changes the outcome. And he said that means the tally can be"judicially remedied, and the declared result conforms to the will of the electorate." La Sota identified at least 495 voters who fell into that category and whose new"provisional" ballots were not counted. But he also said a"material number" of other voters who showed up at a second site who were not even granted an opportunity to cast a provisional ballot"in violation of Arizona law."
