If Kari Lake’s lawsuit looks good right now, imagine what Abe Hamadeh’s chances look like. Lake allegedly lost by a little over 17,000 votes, but Hamadeh only lost by 511 votes out of the 2.5 million that was allegedly cast. This case could be a double whammy for the Democrats. Not only would the Democrat Kris Mayes not take the job of Attorney General, but investigations into voter fraud would then be handled by Hamadeh. Mayes would only sweep it under the rug.
The judge in Lake’s case could rule that there weren’t enough illegal votes to allow her to win, although that would be a lie, no judge can say that in Hamadeh’s alleged loss.

The Defendants’ motions to dismiss the lawsuit failed. The only partial victory that they got was that count five having to do with mismatched signatures was tossed out, but the other four charges were allowed to move forward.
The lawsuit states:
“The Recorders and Boards of Supervisors of the fifteen counties (collectively, the “County Defendants”) have, in at least seven respects, caused the unlawful denial of the franchise to certain qualified electors, erroneously tallied certain ballots, and included for tabulation in the canvass certain illegal votes in connection with the election for the office of Arizona Attorney General.”
