The Arizona Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed a Republican challenge to multiple executive orders signed by Gov. Katie Hobbs that her office said would make voting and registration easier.
The Republican Party of Arizona and its chair, Gina Swoboda, petitioned the state Supreme Court in August to take up the matter without first going through a county court. In a decision issued by the state’s highest court, Chief Justice Ann Scott Timmer wrote that the GOP had offered no arguments for why the court should take the matter up.
