A Maricopa County Superior Court judge on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit by Arizona Senate’s Republican leadership seeking to get access to the county’s voting equipment and materials before Congress counts electoral votes.

The lawsuit was filed Monday by Arizona Senate President Karen Fann and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Eddie Farnsworth. It demanded Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Randall Warner force the county to comply with two subpoenas regarding election data no later than Dec. 29, citing complaints from citizens with concerns that their votes weren’t properly counted.
