Her claims arose out of the state constitution's Art II Sections 13, 21 - Arizona's “equal privileges” clause, and failure to ensure maximum correctness, impartiality, and uniformity of election procedures under A.R.S. sections 16-449(B), 16-452(A). Plaintiff requested that all ballots filled with sharpie be allowed to be cured. | |
