AG candidate Abe Hamadeh contests election results, asks judge to declare him the winner
Republican attorney general candidate Abe Hamadeh has filed a legal complaint asking a judge not only to prevent certification of Nov. 8 election results but also to certify the election to Hamadeh.
Hamadeh trails Mayes by 510 votes with all of Arizona's ballots counted. The race is already headed to an automatic recount, per state law, because the vote differential between the candidates is less than .05 of a percentage point. The recount will occur after the certification of election results Dec. 5.
"An injunction ... requiring the Secretary of State to declare Contestant Abraham Hamadeh elected to the office of Arizona Attorney General and to issue to Contestant a certificate of election." The Mayes campaign declined comment, saying officials had not yet seen the lawsuit. Maricopa County officials declined to comment.
