Huggins v. Superior Court
Arizona Supreme Court
788 P.2d 81, 163 Ariz. 348 (1990)
- Written by Kelly Simon, JD
Facts
In 1998, Bret Huggins (plaintiff) lost the Democratic primary election for Navajo County Attorney to Dale K. Patton. Huggins received 3,585 votes, and Patton received 3,593 votes. An eight-vote margin separated the candidates. Sixteen votes were also illegally cast. Fifteen voters registered to vote as independents or nonpartisans had been improperly permitted to vote on Democratic party ballots. One voter was a convicted felon who was not eligible to vote. Huggins contested the election. The Navajo County Superior Court (defendant) rejected Huggins’ election challenge because Huggins could not prove for whom the sixteen illegal votes were cast. Huggins appealed.
