For Star subscribers: The court says a group called 'We The People'' lack any legal basis for seeking to rescind election results or remove elected officials.
Howard Fischer PHOENIX — The Arizona Supreme Court has rejected the latest effort by a group of election deniers — the fourth from members of"We The People'' — to void and rerun the 2020 vote.
What's lacking in the latest legal filing, Timmer said, is any legal basis for seeking to rescind a prior election or remove elected officials, which electors are, from office."The laws of Arizona set forth processes for contesting an election — a process that requires the filing of a contests within five days after the canvass of the election,'' Timmer wrote. And that occurred at the end of November 2020.
The new order represents the latest in what is becoming a string of defeats for We The People to alter past elections. It took the court only days to toss the case, and not only for failing to file a challenge on time. Justice John Lopez, writing that ruling, said there is nothing in Arizona law that allows an individual to argue that the person holding the office is not doing so lawfully.
