Republican officials behind a lawsuit alleging poll workers "incorrectly rejected" votes cast in person on Election Day will make their case in front of a Maricopa County Superior Court judge later this week.

The defendants — Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors — also will have a chance to produce evidence and make oral arguments, according to Judge Daniel Kiley.

But it appears unlikely the case would affect the outcome of the presidential vote. A lawyer for the county said fewer than 200 ballots are at issue.

President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign filed the lawsuit Saturday, alongside the Republican National Committee and the Arizona Republican Party. The complaint claims Maricopa County poll workers disregarded procedures designed to give voters a chance to correct ballot mistakes, possibly affecting final vote counts.

1. Winning strategy!

2. They probably think if they can win this one, they can keep getting wilder w/their accusations

4. Yep.

This is just the beginning. If they can make people believe that there's something wrong™ with a small bunch of ballots, then there must be something wrong™ with all of them.

They're trying to delay and drag this out as long as they can to get to the point where the states get that one vote based on their own state legislatures.

Or get it to the Supreme Court.

This effort to steal the election by them needs to be squashed, shredded into tiny bits, and then set on fire and launched into the sun.

3. If the voter's intent can be determined, fine. Unreject them.

rejected ballots happen in every goddamn election. this time is no different.

FUCKING ANNOUNCE THE WINNER, ARIZONA.
