An Arizona judge has ordered the Arizona Republican Party and its lawyers to pay more than $18,000 in attorney fees for filing a “groundless” lawsuit seeking a hand count audit of votes in the 2020 presidential election that differed from the method established by the secretary of state.
Judge John Hannah Jr. of Maricopa County, Arizona, said he had no power to order a new audit method. The court “is not a roving commission to declare the law and order people to follow it,” Hannah said.
