Candace Czarny is again spamming LD3 PCs and illegally using the LD3 name in violation of the judges order. Her pattern of filing false lawsuits and challenges is clear. In her latest email, Czarny criticizes the decisive and landslide victory in which new LD3 Chairman Stuart Scurti defeated her pick for chairman by over 39 points in the first round of the election run by third party LD12 Chairman Greg Dutton with assistance from MCRC. Czarny claims “Many are saying it was an absolute failure, so much so that the following timely election challenge has been filed by numerous PCs…”
But what she doesn’t tell you is that SHE personally filed the election challenge along with her board member Carrie Cox. The signed challenge pages reveal the truth:
Her further claims and points of her challenge are all false: “There were reports that ballots were removed from ballot boxes during counting, multiple ballot pages were not reconcilable, during hand counting ballot boxes opened and ballots were manipulated without observers, and MCRC 1st Vice-Chair Shelby Busch prepared the master tally without observers.”
Response to Points in Czarny Challenge:
Point #1: “Violations of PC Voting Rights and Timely Notice.”
All elected PCs as of Oct. 1st, 2024 were permitted to vote in the statutory election held on November 19th 2024. The call letter for the LD3 statutory election was sent via email or USPS to all elected PCs 10 days prior to the meeting in accordance with the governing statutes and bylaws.
Point #2: “Violation of ARS 16-823 (H) Failure to issue Physical Call letter to PCs who did not give MCRC Authority to communicate by email.”
All elected PCs as of Oct. 1st, 2024 were given notice of the district statutory meeting by email or by USPS if no email was provided. See the below photo evidence of physical letters prior to mailing:
Point #3: “Violation of the right to observe the tallying of votes”
Candidates were permitted to observe the tallying of the votes on November 19th. Candidates were also present at the tallying of votes on November 23rd.
Point #4: “Failure to implement a secure voting process” and Point # 5: “Vote collection process violated chain of custody”
The voting process was secure. There is no bylaw prohibition on ballots being printed on site. The ballots were printed on 2 pages and given a ballot number. The ballot number was printed on the first page, however, all voters were instructed to write their ballot number on the bottom of the second page when the error was discovered. A minimal # of ballots had the second page without a ballot number, but all ballots were verified as matching at the tally. There is no evidence of any over votes or any ballots discarded due to over votes (this is being confirmed).
Ballots were well sealed and protected. See the below images:
Point #6: “Chain of custody violated – No observers on the opening of the ballot boxes”
Observers were absolutely present. Four were present to open the ballot boxes and every pair was personally reviewed and cleanly matched. At the November 23rd tally of the State Committee votes the sealed ballot bins were presented and all present were able to see that the seal was intact and had the correct #. Nothing regarding the tallying was done without observers.
Point #7: “Violation of Credential and Tally Committee”
There is no bylaw prohibition on having other entities participate in the counting of ballots. It was prudent to enlist the help of MCRC especially given then large number of State Committee ballots.
Point # 8: “Violation of observers for the master tally”
Observers were permitted and present at the vote tallying process. All ballots were individually checked and confirmed to match at tally
See the below statement from Greg Dutton:
“When it was brought to my attention the State Committeeman ballots did not have Page 2 printed on the back, we immediately went to the ballot box where both Patty P and Carol A were observers and had already started giving word to every person to write the ballot number on the second page. Every one already had been submitted was entered together. It turned out during hand counting to be around 30 ballots. I personally secured the bins. They never left my sight, secured in my office, all seals fully intact inside and out, delivered. I was there when we opened the bins. I spoke about ALL of the above before we opened the bins. I called for questions and there was none.”
This is nothing more than more sour grapes in a pattern of false challenges and lawsuits.
