Abe Hamadeh, the Republican candidate about 500 votes short in the race for Arizona Attorney general, has a hearing Friday to try to prove Election Day problems cost him the victory.
Howard Fischer PHOENIX — Unsuccessful attorney general hopeful Abe Hamadeh will get a chance to try to have the election results set aside.

Jantzen also pointed out that while Hamadeh has made sufficient allegations to pursue his claim, the odds may not be on his side. He pointed out that, under Arizona law,"all reasonable presumptions are to be in favor of the validity of an election."
La Sota said those errors, taken in total, potentially change the outcome. And what that means, he said, is the tally can be"judicially remedied, and the declared result conforms to the will of the electorate" — meaning, by his way of thinking, having Hamadeh named the winner.Problems with printers at voting centers resulted in some of the ballots produced on site not being readable by the tabulators.
La Sota identified at least 495 voters who fell into that category and whose new"provisional' ballots were not counted. But he also said a"material number' of other voters who showed up at a second site who were not even granted an opportunity to cast a provisional ballot"in violation of Arizona law."
But Jantzen pointed out that the state Elections Procedures Manual does allow election workers to use other samples they have on file of someone's signature to verify an early ballot.
