A recent lawsuit found that Arizona Democrat Katie Hobbs received a new batch of "found" votes after election day that tallied to nearly precisely the number she needed to win.
The Republican Party of Arizona released a statement last week formally calling on the Republican National Committee to elect a new leader while also calling for the resignation of Ronna McDaniel as chairwoman of the RNC.
Judge Peter Thompson wrote that the court has “reviewed” Lake’s “verified statement of election contest” and said the “matter will be set on an accelerated basis."
Young voters who have been critical to Democratic successes in recent elections showed signs in November's midterms that their enthusiasm may be waning, a potential warning sign for a party that will need their strong backing heading into the 2024 presidential race.
