The judge who was overseeing a legal challenge to the Arizona Senate’s audit of votes cast in the state’s largest election during the 2020 presidential election has recused himself from the case less than 24 hours before a scheduled April 26 hearing.

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Christopher Coury recused himself from the legal challenge on April 25 after learning that attorney Chris Viskovic, with whom he’d had a prior working relationship, had joined the case, according to a document obtained by The Epoch Times.
