You can’t make it up. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a lawsuit with the Arizona Supreme Court, seeking to get an extension of the ballot cure deadline for votes in the 2024 election–a move, if allowed, that would slow down the state’s process even more:

The Arizona ACLU explained its rationale in a thread on its X account:
The filing is here.
On Saturday, Sasha Hupka, the elections reporter for the Arizona Republic wrote on X that the GOP Arizona state Senate president, Warren Petersen “says he will intervene in a lawsuit filed by the ACLU and the Campaign Legal Center this morning.” The suit “asks the Arizona Supreme Court to consider extending the five-day ballot cure deadline,” she added.
Here’s Petersen’s statement, in which he stands against the left’s attempt to drag things out in the Copper state–and provides hope for meaningful change in how AZ conducts elections via legislation in the next session:

It reads:
The left is suing to extend the time to determine the election. I just authorized the AZ Senate to intervene and defend existing law so we can determine the outcome as soon as possible. It has already taken too much time! And next session will re-introduce bills to get election results, night of.
As this is a developing story, RedState will provide updates as they become available.
