Before the recount, Hamadeh trailed Mayes by 511 votes out of 2.5 million casted ballots.

Hamadeh filed a lawsuit contesting the 2022 midterm election.

However, Mohave County Superior Court Judge Lee F. Jantzen tossed out Hamadeh’s election challenge.

According to Hamadeh, Katie Hobbs and the Arizona Secretary of State's Office "abused our courts and made a mockery of the justice system."

"They knew the results of the recount was going to show a LARGE discrepancy due to tabulation errors and fought against our election contest knowing this. They deceived the courts," he added.

Hamadeh intends to file another lawsuit contesting the 2022 midterm election.

"We went into our first election lawsuit with a deficit of 511. We will now be entering another lawsuit down 280 votes. A recount simply puts the ballots back through a machine. Our argument has always been that there are undervotes and overvotes that will put us over the top," Hamadeh explained.

"The errors found in Pinal County give us the exact necessary evidence to go back into court to have a real inspection of the ballots to determine voter intent that was denied to us originally. This race was the closest race in Arizona history at 511 and at 280 is even more so now," he added.

"Arizonans deserve to have confidence to know who legitimately won the most votes. Every day that goes by shows my opponent’s lead shrinking. They have tried to rush the process and manipulate the courts. I will continue to fight for free, fair, and competent elections."

President Trump issued the following statement regarding the Arizona Attorney General election:

Abe Hamadeh, a very accomplished legal mind who served our country in the Army, gained more than 400 votes in a small portion of the recount (more than half the deficit) for Arizona AG, proving there was massive inconsistencies with how the votes were counted. REPUBLICANS SHOULD DEMAND A STATEWIDE HAND RECOUNT AND ABE WILL WIN! That is the only way forward. Arizona voters are being disenfranchised–They deserve a REAL election!

"I will never stop fighting for Arizona. Thank you Mr. President," Hamadeh tweeted.
