Kelli Ward, the Arizona GOP chairwoman, stated she plans to file an appeal with the Arizona Supreme Court to overturn the state’s election results. The Court confirmed they have received the appeal and will decide the case without an oral argument.

The appeal comes after a Maricopa County judge ruled that Ward’s petition didn’t prove any actual fraud occurred when she first challenged the election results in the county. The election results were certified by the Arizona Secretary of State on Nov. 30 after multiple officials including the governor agreed that they had seen no evidence of fraud that would overturn the state’s results.

The Epoch Times reports:

The GOP’s lawsuit pertains to Maricopa County, which Democrat Joe Biden won by 45,000 votes, according to state election data. Biden, according to the data, is leading Trump by about 10,457 votes in Arizona.

Ward again said the petition is asking the court to review 28,000 duplicated ballots, as well as digitally adjudicated ballots, that were cast in Maricopa County. She estimated that more than 100,000 ballots are at stake.

We are trying to have integrity in our electoral process,” she said, adding: “We have every right to make legal challenges.”

She also called on the Arizona legislature to call a special session about whether to reclaim their constitutional authority to send electors, as Trump’s lawyers have suggested in recent weeks.

The Arizona House of Representatives recently announced it will close for a week due to Covid concerns, Ward called the move “cowardly” and “unnecessary.”
