In Count three of her complaint, which alleged a violation of A.R.S. § 16-550(A),Petitioner alleged in paragraph 151, “Upon information and belief, a material number of early ballots cast in the November 8, 2022 general election were transmitted in envelopes containing an affidavit signature that the Maricopa County Recorder or his designee determined did not match the signature in the putative voter’s‘ registration record.’ The Maricopa County Recorder nevertheless accepted a material number of these early ballots for processing and tabulation.” Contrary to the ruling of the trial court and the Court of Appeals Opinion, this signature verification challenge is to the application of the policies, not to the policies themselves. Therefore, it was erroneous to dismiss this claim under the doctrine of laches because Lake could not have brought this challenge before the election.
Bottom Line: they accepted 100s' of thousands with Bogus signatures (not following set procedure).//
