Arizona Supreme Court
Vince Leach, Plaintiffs/appellants/cross-Appellees v. Michele Reagan
December 6, 2018430 P.3d 1241
Summary
The court affirmed the denial of injunctive relief and held that the initiative qualified for the ballot. It ruled that alleged defects in the political action committee's statement of organization could not be challenged through the initiative-invalidity procedure, that the initiative title was legally sufficient, and that the challenged circulator-registration and signature-verification arguments did not establish an insufficient number of valid signatures. The court also held that private parties may challenge signatures outside the Secretary's random sample based on voter-registration status, although the particular challenge did not require further merits review.
