In loss for Stephen Miller but win for voters, Arizona court rejects sweeping anti-voting challenge
Arizona voters secured another victory after a state appeals court rejected a sweeping lawsuit brought by American First Legal Foundation, founded by Trump adviser Stephen Miller. It’s the latest in a string of failed efforts by right-wingers to upend how elections are run in the battleground state.
On Wednesday, the Arizona Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court’s dismissal of a lawsuit challenging election administration practices in several counties, including Maricopa County, Yavapai County and Coconino County. The court agreed the plaintiffs lacked standing — a basic legal requirement that plaintiffs show they were personally harmed — meaning the case could not move forward.
The lawsuit targeted multiple aspects of how Arizona counties run elections.
The anti-voting plaintiffs challenged the use of ballot drop boxes, procedures that allow voters to fix — or “cure” — signature issues on mail-in ballots, and how counties verify signatures in the first place. They also attacked how counties maintain voter rolls and raised concerns about voting equipment issues like printer malfunctions.
