Excerpt:
In the ruling from Judge John Napper, the Superior Court of Yavapai County denied motions to dismiss a complaint filed by Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections (RITE) against Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a Democrat, that alleged Arizona’s Elections Procedures Manual (EPM) contains unlawful signature-match guidance. In Arizona, the EMP governs how elections are run in the state.
Under Arizona law, county recorders are required to compare the signature on a voter’s ballot envelope with the “signature of the elector on the elector’s registration record.” Arizona’s current EMP, however, instructs county recorders to “consult and review not only registration forms but also ‘additional known signatures from other official election documents in the voter’s registration record, such as signature rosters or early ballot [permanent early voting list] request forms,'” as the court noted. RITE alleged that this even included “signatures on prior early ballot envelopes.”
The court found that Arizona’s EPM creates a process that “contradicts the plain language” of state law by allowing signature-match with documents that have “nothing to do with the act of registering.”
