A group that wants voters to overturn wide-ranging changes to Arizona election law is suing election officials, arguing that 80 signatures on referendum petitions were wrongly disqualified.
The lawsuit from the Protect Your Right To Vote Committee is asking the Maricopa County Superior Court to reinstate the 80 signatures, gathered from voters in Cochise, Pima and Pinal counties.
The signatures were tossed when elections officials in those counties were processing the petitions the committee submitted last month. The elections officials found 281 of the people signing the petitions either were not registered to vote, listed a wrong or incomplete address, or did not provide a date when they signed the referendum petition.
