Arizona Voters Who Want a Special U.S. Senate Election Appeal to the Ninth Circuit

Earlier this month, the Arizona voters who want a special election for U.S. Senate earlier than November 2020 filed an appeal in the Ninth Circuit. Tedards v Ducey, 19-16308. The case concerns the vacancy in John McCain’s Senate seat. McCain died in August 2018 and the Governor filled his seat by appointment. The voters argue that there should be a special election to fill that seat, given the lengthy period of time between McCain’s death and November 2020. The U.S. District Court ruled in favor of the state.
