Rep. Mark Finchem Seeks Preliminary Injunction Against Use of Electronic Voting Machines in Arizona

State Representative Mark Finchem announced that attorneys including Alan Dershowitz, representing him and Kari Lake, today filed a motion for a preliminary injunction in federal court to stop the use of “unsecure black box electronic voting machines” in Arizona.

Representative Finchem issued the following statement regarding the filing:

“We have filed a motion seeking to ban the use of black box electronic voting machines in Arizona’s elections while the case is pending. It’s a reasonable question to ask the defendants whether they know how these electronic machines actually work. They are a black box – and the voting machine companies refuse to make their systems and software open to the public. Why would anyone trust them?”

The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the documented and unfixable security failures in electronic voting machines—and the lack transparency in these voting systems—violates citizens’ constitutional rights and 42 U.S. § 1983 including: the Fundamental Right to Vote in Violation of the Fourteenth Amendment; and the Fourteenth Amendment’s Guarantee of Equal Protection.

This is not a partisan issue. Politicians on both sides of the aisle have long criticized the inherent vulnerabilities and insecurity of electronic voting machines, including then-Senator Kamala Harris and Senators Elizabeth Warren and Senator Amy Klobuchar.

The defendants include Katie Hobbs in her official capacity as Secretary of State, and members of the Board of Supervisors for Maricopa and Pima Counties in their official capacities.
