http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/latest-tucson-man-sues-arizona-election-results-38266716A Tucson man has filed a lawsuit challenging Arizona's presidential primary results, saying voter registration and Election Day balloting problems render them illegal.
John Brakey's lawsuit seeks an order rescinding certification of the results and remedies that might include a new election.
The suit filed Friday in Maricopa County Superior Court names all 15 Arizona counties and Secretary of State Michele Reagan.
Hillary Clinton won Arizona's Democratic primary, and Donald Trump won on the Republican side.
Maricopa County saw huge lines on Election Day after officials cut the number of polling places and turnout exceed expectations. But there were issues statewide, with voters complaining they were registered with a party but the rolls showing they were independents and ineligible to vote.
A judge has set an April 19 hearing.

Ruh Roh! Something about to go down on April 19th. Same day as New York's primary. Will be interesting to see what happens.

EVERY VOTE should be fairly counted. Arizona is not as blood-red as it's made out to be. We're more of a lovely shade of PURPLE.
