The state Court of Appeals will not order new procedures for how Pima County — and potentially others — handles and counts election ballots.
In a unanimous ruling Thursday, the judges said they have no legal basis to grant the request by the county’s Libertarian Party to require that future election ballots be scanned and copied so outsiders can review the accuracy of the vote tally.
Judge John Gemmill, writing for the court, said the party had not identified any specific thing that Pima County had done that would entitle him and his colleagues to order something different down the road.
