The head of the Arizona Republican Party wants the state Supreme Court to void two executive orders issued by Gov. Katie Hobbs designed to make registration and voting easier.
In a new lawsuit filed late Thursday, Gina Swoboda charges that the Democratic governor exceeded her authority in directing some state agencies to make voter registration forms available to the public. Swoboda said Hobbs also acted illegally in directing those agencies, including the adult and juvenile corrections systems, to act as ballot drop-off locations.
At the very least, the lawsuit says, the latter order fails to address important issues like ballot security.
