Abe Hamadeh appears to be pushing judge who has yet to rule on his request for a trial as he tries to overturn Kris Mayes' victory for attorney general.
Bob Christie Capitol Media Services PHOENIX — The Republican who lost last year's race for Arizona attorney general wants a court to set a briefing schedule for a new trial as he seeks to overturn Democrat Kris Mayes' victory — even though the judge has yet to rule if he deserves one.
She noted the request to Jantzen is unusual, but said it is important because if Hamadeh prevails after a new trial, Mayes would be ousted and replaced by him. He lost in his first trial Hamadeh first filed suit a month after the 2022 general election to set aside its results. Jantzen ruled against Hamadeh's original election challenge in December, saying he failed to prove he received more votes than Mayes.
She also wants to examine ballots that did not show a vote in the attorney general's race to determine if there actually was a vote for Hamadeh. They told Jantzen at the hearing that Hamadeh and his lawyers were fishing and had no actual evidence to back his claims.

Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly's administration agreed to the settlement and reversed a GOP policy.
