But that, Arellano told the judge, does not mean the Republicans are entitled to demand new rules because they can't find enough people to serve. At the heart of the lawsuit by the Arizona Republican Party and the Republican National Committee is the contention that Maricopa County is not complying with requirements to have inspectors from both political parties at polling places. Similar requirements exist, the lawsuit says, for the boards that oversee processing of early ballots, vote adjudication boards and the boards that oversee operations at county election headquarters.
But GOP attorneys say there's a simple solution: Ease the hours that election workers are required to work and make other changes that make the job more attractive to the elderly and those with disabilities. And that's what they want Hannah to order.It starts, he said, with the fact the GOP waited until a month before the election to demand the changes.
"Telling such potential board members that they will not be appointed unless they agree to lengthy and onerous day and hour commitments screens out anyone with full-time employment or family commitments and thus many of the individuals the Republican Party has nominated," the GOP lawsuit claims. What is also does, the lawyers say, is screen out many elderly and disabled people who would otherwise be willing to serve.
