JUST IN: Judge Tosses Out Abe Hamadeh’s Election Challenge in Arizona Attorney General Race Against Democrat Mayes

Mohave County Superior Court Judge Lee F. Jantzen tossed out Abe Hamadeh’s election challenge in the Arizona Attorney General race against Democrat Kris Mayes.

Hamadeh was only down by 511 votes against Mayes out of more than 2.5 million ballots cast in the Attorney General race.

The judge denied the challenge based on testimony from Hamadeh’s lawyer, Tim LaSota, acknowledging that based on the ballot inspection (a small sample of ballots), his client would not be able to get over 511 votes needed to overcome Mayes.

A lawyer for Mayes immediately called for LaSota to be sanctioned for bringing the case.

Hamadeh trailed 511 votes behind Democrat Kris Mayes in one of Arizona’s closest statewide elections.

Frantzen ruled from the bench after closing arguments in the approximately three-hour trial. His decision came after lawyer for the plaintiffs, Tim LaSota, acknowledged that based on the sample size of the ballot inspection yesterday, he wouldn’t get to 511 votes. Afterwards, Mayes attorney Dan Barr called for LaSota to be sanctioned for bringing the election contest.

Abe Hamadeh responded to the judge’s ruling.
