Judge to hear challenge to Arizona presidential primary
The attorney general, representing Secretary of State Michele Reagan, said in a court filing that there were problems with the election and Reagan wants to see them fixed, but state law doesn't allow the legal challenge to proceed.
"The contest statutes only apply to specific categories of elections, and the presidential preference election does not fall within the scope" of those laws, the filing by Assistant Attorney General James Driscoll-MacEachron said.
A separate lawsuit was filed last week in federal court by the state and national Democratic parties and presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
