The Arizona Court of Appeals unanimously rejected arguments by attorneys for the secretary of state and county election officials on Tuesday that the decision to certify machines manufactured by Diebold Elections Systems and Sequoia Voting Systems cannot be challenged.

Chavez v. Brewer

Santa Maria v. Najera

State v. Hon. Grant/Lennar
