Major ruling in the Arizona electors case this a.m. The new judge just ruled that I met the prima facie case required to dismiss under the anti-SLAPP statute -- that is, 1st Amend. rights implicated, & substantial evid. that the prosecution was to retaliate or deter those rights.
Just to clarify. The AG now has to prove that she wasn’t motivated by desire to retaliate or deter 1A rights. Their brief is due March 25. The judge also rejected the AG’s claim that the anti-SLAPP statute is unconstitutional.
AG says they will appeal the ruling. courthousenews.com/arizona-fake-e…
Here's another news account describing that this was Step 1 in a 2-step process for dismissal under the anti-SLAPP statute. kjzz.org/elections/2025…
And here's the AG's official statement vowing to appeal. azag.gov/press-release/…
