So, yaknow, exactly like Lake.A poorly designed ballot and a bevy of court cases left the 1916 Arizona governor’s election undecided – for more than a year.

Democrat George W.P. Hunt had won the state’s first two gubernatorial elections. The portly populist crusader, nicknamed the “Old Walrus” due to his handlebar mustache, enjoyed knitting and was often dressed in a white linen suit spotted with chewing tobacco juice. “Hunt was a fixture in Arizona politics dating back to Territorial days,” Bayless says. “He was very visible as a candidate and office holder.”
Hunt’s third run for governor, a two-year term at the time, was against Republican Thomas E. Campbell, a mining engineer. “Traveling Tom” had been elected to the Arizona State Tax Commission in 1914. He campaigned for governor in his car called “The Favorite Son,” wearing a 10-gallon hat.

The governor’s election was a photo finish. Out of 55,922 ballots, Campbell won by a 30-vote margin, with Robertson tallying 1,975 votes in a spoiler role. Hunt paid for a recount, but on December 16, the Maricopa County Superior Court declared Campbell the winner, and Democratic Secretary of State Sidney P. Osborn issued the Republican a Certificate of Election.

Hunt challenged the decision, citing confusing ballots that had boxes both at the top for a straight-line party ticket and for individual candidates. Ballots checked Democratic and also marked for Campbell were awarded to the Republican to create his slim lead. Hunt argued that these ballots constituted double voting and should be rejected. “In my opinion, these would have been damaged ballots and should have been thrown out immediately,” Bayless says.
The ballots were still being inspected on New Year’s Eve when both candidates claimed victory and took the oath of office. As a result, the state treasurer and auditor recognized neither man as governor; the attorney general recognized Campbell as the de facto governor; and the U.S. Post Office delivered mail addressed to the governor to the secretary of state, according to John S. Goff’s book, Thomas E. Campbell.

On January 27, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that Campbell, having a Certificate of Election, should become the acting de facto governor. Hunt complied, and Campbell moved into the governor’s office. On May 2, a Maricopa County Superior Court judge ruled in Campbell’s favor on the ballot issue, but Hunt appealed the decision on June 26. On December 23, 1917, the Arizona Supreme Court, composed of three Democrats, issued a final unanimous decision siding with Hunt’s ballot interpretation, giving him a 43-vote victory. The court also ruled Campbell’s time as governor would be uncompensated, and he had to pay Hunt’s legal bills and court expenses.

Oh, I understand now. She filed in the appellate court on the 30th, as that was the next step. The next day, Saturday, she filed (or mailed) a petition to the Supreme Court to transfer the appellate case to them. In short, she was trying to skip over the appellant court step.Chilidog wrote: ↑Tue Jan 03, 2023 3:41 pm fWIW

Of course it is. It's her personal account talking about her in the third person. This makes her An Important Person.
Yes. His real name is Mitch Modeleski. He was indicted for participating as a "legal advisor" in a blunt tax evasion scheme, but ultimately was found not competent to stand trial. His filings are bat shit crazy.Gregg wrote: ↑Tue Jan 03, 2023 6:24 pmQ people, refresh my memory.northland10 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 03, 2023 2:22 pmHe had already filed a case directly in the AZ Supreme Court.

Is Paul Andrew Mitchell the fruitcake who actually is named something else and was the guy Elf Nino's Mom chased down to the ends of the earth about (checks watch and OMG) 20 years ago?
Of course Donofrio can't stay away because this is when he's at his "best": pandering to the ignorant, desperate masses, and not in a court with a learned, motivated opponent.
