A Maricopa County Superior Court judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a defeated congressional candidate to annul Arizona election results.

A Maricopa County Superior Court judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a defeated primary congressional candidate to annul Arizona's election results for governor, secretary of state and attorney general.

Attorneys for the Secretary of State's Office and Maricopa County Board of Supervisors argued that the complaint should be filed as an election contest and that it was premature to do so under Arizona law. Barnett, who represented himself, said Friday:"The heart of the case is exactly that I cannot tolerate seeing another election run illegally where everything is broken. And all we ask for, as the people ... is that we have a legally run election. I don't think that's asking too much where rules aren't broken, procedures not broken, forms broken. Everything, statutes, you name it, have been broken in this election.

Barnett placed third in the Republican primary Aug. 2 in Arizona's 1st Congressional District, behind businessman Elijah Norton and Rep. David Schweikert, R-Ariz. Schweikert narrowly won reelection in November against Democratic challenger Jevin Hodge. "I was going to do a model complaint. Josh got in touch with me. I said, 'You can take whatever I got, but I'm not representing you and I'm not representing anyone,' and here I am," Denafrio added."So I completely understand if it's not possible ."
