Arizona Republicans are now 0-for-27 in election challenges. Maybe it's time to move on? [View all]

The Arizona Republican Party on Tuesday lost yet another case in the ongoing, unending failed attempts to challenge the results of the state’s elections.

I’ve lost track of what this particular lawsuit claimed. Something about the party’s outrage that a state-mandated sample hand count audit of ballots in 2020 — one that turned up zero evidence of a problem — was done at voting centers rather than precincts.Suffice it to say, the party lost. Again.

And now has been ordered by the Arizona Court of Appeals to pay nearly $9,000 to cover the taxpayers’ cost of the appeal. That’s in addition to $18,000 already awarded to cover the taxpayers’ cost of defending the lawsuit.

Donors fund winners, not loser lawsuits

While $27,000 sounds like pocket change, it’s more than half of what the state Republican Party had in the bank as of March 31, according to federal filings.
