Democratic President-elect Joe Biden won Arizona by more than 10,000 votes, and Maricopa County put him over the top. The Biden for Arizona campaign called the lawsuit “frivolous” and said that it was “rightly dismissed.”
“Arizona’s election was well-run and transparent, and far-right fringes of the Arizona Republican Party should stop trying to undermine Arizonans’ faith in free and fair elections,” Arizona Communications Director Geoff Burgan said in a statement. “This ruling is a win for Arizonans who turned out in record numbers this fall.”
Maricopa County officials are expected to certify the election results on Friday. Eleven of Arizona’s 15 counties have already certified election results.
