The closest election in Arizona’s history is being litigated, but the judge is either totally corrupt or the most incompetent fool to come down the pike since AOC. There are thousands of uncounted provisional ballots and Republican Abe Hamadeh has sued to get the votes counted, but Mohave County Superior Court Judge Lee F. Jantzen is holding the entire matter in limbo either with idiotic mistakes or intentional sabotage.
Jantzen has been repeatedly chastised by the Commission on Judicial Conduct after failing to issue timely rulings in cases and collecting salary after declaring that he had no pending matters. The corrupt Maricopa election board that intentionally or otherwise saw the failure of the tabulators in 60% of the precincts created thousands of provisional ballots in deep red precincts that have never been counted in a race decided by just 280 votes. Hamad3h tried to appeal to a higher court, but they could not do anything until Jantzen rules.
Arizona Daily Independent reported,
As previously reported by the Arizona Daily Independent, last week the Arizona Supreme Court issued an order to Mohave County Superior Court Judge Lee Jantzen demanding he sign his order “forthwith” on the two overdue judgments in the case, one of which dates back to Dec. 23, 2022.
That order signed by Chief Justice Robert Brutinel involves a petition for special action Hamadeh filed last month in an effort to move forward with his challenge against Kris Mayes without continuing to wait for Jantzen, who has a history of admonishments by the Supreme Court for delaying judgments.
If Jantzen ever gets around to doing his job and signing the judgments from the first trial and his denial of a new trial, then Hamadeh can move forward with filing an opening brief to the Court of Appeals. This can be done in an expedited manner, Brutinel noted.

Arizona Daily Independent reported on Friday:
Attorneys on both sides of Abe Hamadeh’s election contest discovered on Friday that a Mohave County Superior Court judge has failed again. Judge Lee Jantzen signed what should have been a final order, but left matters pending, resulting in an “unfinal” final order.
“Another unfortunate error has delayed final judgment,” Jen Wright, attorney for Hamadeh told the Arizona Daily Independent. “Although the order that was filed today states that ‘nothing else [is] pending’, it specifically left open the rate of pay for ballot inspectors in Mohave and Navajo counties. This prevents the order from being a legally compliant final judgment. Unfortunately, that means an appeal is still premature and, if filed, could once again be dismissed by the Court of Appeals.”
Wright added that Hamadeh’s legal team is working with opposing counsel to ask the Mohave court to issue a partial judgment so that Hamadeh can file an appeal on the denial of the motion for a new trial while the motions regarding the ballot inspector fees proceed in the Mohave court.
Mohave County residents have reached out to Arizona Daily Independent embarrassed and frustrated by the continued missteps by Judge Jantzen, who was re-elected to the bench in November of 2022 for another four-year term. Residents are concerned about Judge Jantzen’s history of malfeasance and how his conduct in this case could indicate issues with other more routine cases that he presides over.
Hamadeh told The Gateway Pundit:
Hamadeh: “The December trial was a gross miscarriage of justice. Katie Hobbs, Pinal County, and Maricopa County withheld critical evidence that would have led to a thorough inspection of the issues for us to present our case. Democracy dies in darkness, and so too does justice. Now, nearly 9 months later, we have irrefutable proof that we have more votes than Kris Mayes, and at every turn, the legal system seems to thwart our good faith efforts to present the evidence in a court of law. Kari Lake is on her third trial, yet we are still back where we were in December. Our election is the closest race in Arizona history with the biggest recount discrepancy in history, and we seemingly can’t get our day in court. Justice demands that our case be treated honestly and fairly in order to ensure the true will of the people. I want to assure the people of Arizona, my determination to seek accountability for the gross incompetence and negligence from the November 2022 election is unwavering. I will not stop fighting until we get justice or until the system exposes itself.”
