ARIZONA â An Arizona judge has said it was unlikely that a court case over Arizona Republican Party elections in January would be resolved before a proposed special meeting in April where a redo election could take place.
The Arizona Republic reported that the lawsuit was temporarily delayed by top state officials who allegedly avoided process servers as activists suing the party face scrutiny over the signatures gathered to force a redo election.
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Michael Kemp on Thursday said the legal matter would not be resolved in time.

PHOENIX (AP) An Arizona judge has said it was unlikely that a court case over Arizona Republican Party elections in January would be resolved before a proposed special meeting in April where a redo election could take place.
The lawsuit was temporarily delayed by top state officials who allegedly avoided process servers as activists suing the party face scrutiny over the signatures gathered to force a redo election, The Arizona Republic reported.
Republican activists gathered 353 signatures from state committee people to force a redo of all party elections after party Chair Kelli Ward won reelection in a narrow race that went to a runoff and then would not listen to repeated calls to audit the results. Ward and other officials argued the activists did not gather enough signatures and tricked people into signing.
