Judge Grants Dems Pause In Arizona Ballot Recount
A judge granted Democrats in Arizona a pause in the long-awaited hand recount of Maricopa County’s 2020 election ballots, but it appeared short-lived.
The Arizona Republic reported the county delivered all 2.1 million ballots to the state Senate, which has hired a contractor to audit the ballots at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
Democrats sued, claiming there isn’t adequate security.
Superior Court Judge Christopher Coury said he wanted to ensure the recount fully complies with Arizona law. But the pause appeared temporarily, when the Democrats declined to post a $1 million bond to cover higher costs incurred by the delay. The judge had said he would review security plans.
“I do not want to micromanage and it is not the posture of this court to micromanage or even to manage the process by which another branch of government, the Legislature, the Arizona state senate proceeds,” Coury said. “However, it is the province of the court to ensure voter information and those constitutional protections are held sacrosanct and that also includes the protection of ballots under Arizona law.” (Read more from “Judge Grants Dems Pause In Arizona Ballot Recount” HERE)
