State Sen. Sonny Borrelli had sued trying to have Democrat Katie Hobbs' win over Republican Kari Lake overturned.
A judge tossed a bid by the incoming state Senate majority leader to have the results of the governor's race thrown out.
Jantzen also refused to give Borrelli's attorneys more time to serve those summonses now. He said that, having delayed the matter already, there was no way to resolve the case by the deadlines set in law to deal with election challenges.Jantzen told the attorneys they are free to pursue their claim that Maricopa County is violating state laws about how signatures on ballot envelopes must be reviewed.
Borrelli contended his vote and those of other residents of heavily Republican Mohave County, which does not use signature-verification software, were diluted because of illegal votes being tallied in Maricopa County. Lawyers Andy Gaona, representing the Secretary of State's Office, and Alexis Danneman, representing Hobbs, showed up voluntarily on Friday.
