Some really excellent questions from @ThomasGalvin & the other Supes at today's meeting about Nov's election!

The 2 page ballot is thanks to the Leg, and it is going to cause many problems (and take longer to tabulate).

Examples: longer lines at printers, voting booths...
1/5 Image ...tabulators, etc.

The 2 page ballot is going to cause a host of other problems. Mail-in voters are going to have to be especially careful not to mix up the pages with a family member living elsewhere in the county (eg filling out ballots together)....

LIVE NOW: The Arizona Supreme Court is about to hear oral arguments in the case to decide whether Arizona's Civil War-era total ABORTION BAN is back in effect, or whether the 2022-passed 15-week ban superseded it (despite Leg's attempts to both regulate and keep the total ban). Image LINK TO WATCH the hour-long oral arguments, beginning at 9:30:

Welp, PW is off today. So you are stuck with me, your intrepid court watcher, Tom Ryan. Let's get started. This hearing has been going on for 1 hour now. Logged in just in time to hear Mr. Blehm argue with Judge Hannah. It did not go well. TR Kari Lake is NOT in the courtroom even though she is the Plaintiff. Wendy Rogers is in the galley though. Judge Hannah is now correcting Blehm on who can verify signatures on Petitions and Initiatives. TR

Well, goooooood afternoon Arizona! For all you out there keeping score on all the butt kicking going on in the MAGA litigation realm, I've got a little refresher course for you to read before we get started in Judge Tuchi's Court on the Alan "the Dersh" Dershowitz OSC hearing. TR The hardworking journos at AZ LAW have put together this handy-dandy Sanctions Scorecard for your ease of reference. It's a lovely, hop, skip and a sneeze down Memory Lane for who is getting slapped with sanctions in MAGA land. TR

This is NOT how laws are made or changed.⤵️ The *resolution* passed on a party line vote. Here is the action portion.

Note that it:
1. includes no enforcement provisions - woulda sent up red flags,
2. does not even direct Borelli to write the ltr
3. etc

BREAKING:
Judge DOES ALLOW @KariLake to present evidence showing Maricopa "failed to conduct any level 1 signature verification".

He's also not impressed with ever-changing theories: "also recognizes the contradiction between this new theory & the other allegations in Count 3" Contradiction, per Judge: "her own affiants declare that they conducted signature review at level 1."

"The Court will give such affidavits and the evidence presented at Trial the weight that each is due. Plaintiff is further bound by her concession..."

Not only that, but they are accusing @MarcElias (an atty in the case) of having an inappropriate ex parte communication with the judge.

Accusing an atty of ethical violations - especially without any evidence - can be an ethical violation.
PW Ex parte: Communicating with a judge without letting other attys in the case know he was doing so....Though I've never seen an accusation of ghostwriting for the judge.

Welll, I'm going to take a break from hitting "refresh" to hit the freeway. Can't stay at office any longer.
