Judge To Hear Temporary Restraining Order Request In Peoria Election Fiasco
Press Release
(PHOENIX) Dr. Ken Krieger’s request to fix a ballot disaster that kept him off the ballot in Peoria twice goes before a federal Judge August 22nd at 11am when Federal Judge David Campbell hears Dr. Krieger’s request for a Temporary Restraining Order to prevent an essentially flawed election.
The request states in part:
“The ongoing election for the Mesquite District of Peoria City Council is irretrievably broken. Absent immediate judicial intervention, the defendants will continue conducting, and counting votes in, an election that would not meet the minimum legal standards in any democratic society.”
A related lawsuit also asks the court to provide for a special election in the Mesquite District using complete and correct ballots.
The hearing starts at 11am August 22nd at the US District Courthouse in Phoenix at 401 West Washington Street before Judge David G Campbell Phoenix Courtroom #603, 6th Floor.
Dr. Krieger will be available for comment immediately after the hearing which should conclude by 1pm.
Despite submitting the valid number of signatures to qualify for the Peoria City Council ballot and having his name actually appear in the official voter guide, Dr. Ken Krieger’s name has failed to appear on TWO early ballot forms, meaning those who received two early ballot forms in Peoria’s Mesquite District will find no place to mark a vote for Krieger.
