During the 1916 election held on November 7, Campbell ran against incumbent George W.P. Hunt who was seeking election to his third term. Initially, Campbell was declared the winner by 30 votes but Hunt refused to vacate the governor's office and both men took the oath of office on December 30, 1916.
Hunt filed suit in the Arizona Superior Court on January 25, 1917, and on January 27, the court declared Campbell de facto governor. Hunt agreed to turn over the office on January 29, but appealed and on December 22, 1917, the Arizona Supreme Court overturned the lower court ruling. Campbell vacated the office on December 25, but also filed an appeal with the Arizona Supreme Court on January 8, 1917, that was denied.
AZ? Human trafficking hub back then too?
Big mormon influence and it was Mormons at HHS wondered caught doing it.
Any info on the grounds with which the court overturned? Was their fraud?
By just thirty votes?
How many people were in the state then?
So there is a precedent.
Remember, this was at a time before the corruption got as bad and widespread as it is today.
Anybody else think he looks like Ted Cruz??

However, is THIS SC in Arizona liberal? If so, Lake does not have a chance with the Arizona SC.
