Arizona Democrats File Scathing Response to Secretary of State’s Request for a 3-Month Delay in Lawsuit over Ballot Order

On December 3, the plaintiffs in Mecinas v Hobbs, 2:19cv-5547, filed this scathing criticism of the Arizona Secretary of State for requesting a delay of 90 days in the case. This is the lawsuit over the Arizona law that says the nominees of the party that won the last gubernatorial election are always listed first on the ballot.

The brief recounts the history of several other election law litigation in Arizona, and says the state has a pattern of trying to stall such cases. The brief asks the court not to grant the 3-month delay. Arizona has a Democratic Secretary of State, but a Republican Attorney General.

  1. Also —

    As usual – what disputed *facts* ???

    Junk law NOT plain English enough ???

    What percent of REALLY STUPID voters ALWAYS and ONLY vote for 1st candidate for each office ???

  2. Don’t rig the ballot by printing candidates names in any order. Let the voter write-in the names of the candidates for all offices. No ballot access censorship.
