As we prepare for Maricopa County and the State Senate Republicans to hold competing meetings today and tomorrow, we have these developments to ponder:
1) The anonymous band of 20 petitioners who unsuccessfully asked the Arizona Supreme Court to overturn Arizona's elections between 2018 and 2020 - and temporarily install them in the vacated elected offices - today asked the Justices to not engage in the "dangerous practice" of "doxing" them by unsealing their identities.
The entire Motion is posted below. The Supreme Court had immediately dismissed the Petition to find that 2018, 2019 (Tucson) and 2020 elections were void because voting machines licenses had expired and proper recertification procedures had not been followed. Petitioners had suggested that they fill the elected offices until a new election could be held.
There is no word yet on when or how the Supreme Court will rule on this filing. However, if inclined to grant the motion to keep the identities sealed, the Court would likely invite a response from Defendant Governor Doug Ducey and the other parties.
