Arizona Supreme Court

Don Shooter v. Toby Farmer

July 29, 2014235 Ariz. 199

Summary

The court affirmed the trial court’s refusal to remove Toby Farmer from the primary ballot because, although seven signatures were forged, Shooter did not prove that Farmer knowingly participated in or caused the forgeries. The court deferred to the trial court’s factual findings and its decision not to draw the requested inference from the evidence. It also denied Farmer’s request for attorney’s fees because Shooter’s claim was not shown to have been brought in bad faith.
