A Superior Court judge granted Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Kelli Ward’s request to inspect the signatures on ballot envelopes during a hearing on Monday.
Judge Randall Warner will allow signatures from 100 ballot envelopes to be inspected and 100 duplicated or reconstructed ballots to be inspected.
Ward’s attorney initially asked to have their handwriting expert inspect about 16,000 envelop signatures to see if there are any invalid ballots.
“I don’t think you need a huge data sample to know whether there are irregularities or misconduct,” Warner said.
