PHOENIX — Two groups, including a Virginia organization founded by conservative Republicans, have filed suit to overturn the process now used by Arizona counties to verify signatures on early ballot envelopes.
The lawsuit filed in Yavapai County Superior Court said state law requires election officials to match the signatures on the envelopes only with each voter’s registration record. But attorney
Kory Langhofer, representing challengers, said counties are following the instructions in a manual prepared by the Secretary of State’s Office, which permits comparison with other signatures the county may have.
