Obama / [No Name] / Jeff Flake appointed Arizona Federal Judge Steven Logan extended Voter Registration Deadline by nearly three weeks during 11th Hour
41,000 Voter's registered in one day… A state record.
POTUS is currently behind by 40K in AZ…
"While those who had asked for the extension cheered the ruling, others warned it would tamper with a carefully planned election. "
In a court filing on Tuesday, the groups argued that the longstanding voter deadline is meant to align with other important aspects of the process.
“In inflicting this eleventh-hour change on Arizona’s electoral infrastructure, the district court’s order contravenes repeated, and recently reiterated, admonitions by this court and the U.S. Supreme Court against judicial tinkering with states’ election machinery on the eve of voting,” wrote Thomas Basile, a lawyer for the groups.
But it wasn't just Republicans who opposed the suit. Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs argued the extension would cause a host of problems so close to Election Day.
The change was made by Judge Steven Paul Logan of the United States District Court for the District of Arizona.
Ultimately, Logan concluded that while Arizona has made it easy to register to vote, that may not be enough.
"Ballot access is an extremely important right, and it has been restricted during this unprecedented time,” wrote Logan, who was appointed by President Barack Obama.
Logan was nominated by President Obama after consultation with Republican Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake.
Anything on this? This guy cares about Ballot rights but not Free speech…
