Arizona Certifies Election Results In Capitol Ceremony

The Arizona Republic reports:

Secretary of State Katie Hobbs officially certified the Nov. 8 election results in a ceremony at the Capitol on Monday morning, a routine step in the election process and one that clears the way for lawsuits and recounts in three races to begin.

Seated alongside Gov. Doug Ducey, Attorney General Mark Brnovich and Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert Brutinel, whose signatures also were required on the certification documents, Hobbs thanked voters.

“I just want to once again thank the voters of Arizona, because of your participation our democratic institutions thrived,” Hobbs said. “Stay engaged and keep voting.”

In June, I sued over the use of tabulators in my election. I alleged these machines were prone to failure

This suit was dismissed for standing

On election day, 32% of the machines failed statewide

Yesterday, an Obama-judge sanctioned my lawyers for bringing the suit at all.
