Judge Dismisses Abe Hamadeh's Election Lawsuit, Greenlights Sanctions

The lawsuit, which sought to challenge the 2022 Arizona election results, was dismissed for being untimely and groundless.

A Maricopa County judge dismissed Abe Hamadeh's lawsuit challenging the 2022 Arizona election results, citing it as untimely and without merit.
The court has authorized election officials to seek sanctions against Hamadeh and his lawyer for filing the lawsuit in 'bad faith'.
Hamadeh, who lost the attorney general race by 280 votes, is currently running for a U.S. House seat.
The judge also dismissed related claims seeking a recount or a new election for governor and attorney general, citing lack of standing.
This marks Hamadeh's third failed attempt to challenge his election loss, further diminishing his credibility.
