PHOENIX Yet another bid to overturn Arizona s election returns has been swatted down by a judge.
The latest ruling came Tuesday as Pinal County Superior Court Judge Kevin White ruled that Staci Burk lacked the legal standing to challenge the conduct of the election. White said only people who actually were registered to vote in the 2020 race can complain about its conduct and the results.
Burk admitted she was not registered.
She blamed that on county election officials who she claims illegally canceled her registration. And even if that were not the case, Burk contends that anyone who is eligible to vote registered or not has the right to sue over election returns.

PHOENIX A judge dismissed another lawsuit Tuesday that sought to decertify Democratic President-elect Joe Biden’s win in Arizona, marking the eighth failed case that challenged the election results in the state.
Pinal County Judge Kevin White concluded that plaintiff Staci Burk lacked standing to contest the election because she wasn’t a registered voter at the time she filed her lawsuit and that she made her legal challenge after the five-day period for filing such an action had passed.
Burk said in her lawsuit that she was a qualified Arizona voter, but officials said they discovered she wasn’t registered to vote. She has since said she mistakenly thought “qualified electors” were people who were merely eligible to vote, and that her voter registration was canceled because election workers were unable to verify her address.
