As the sun set over “A” Mountain, Tucson City Council candidates Margaret Burkholder and Kelly Lawton were surrounded by supporters outside the Pima County Superior Court, on Friday, after filing an elections contest complaint of the 2015 Tucson City Council election.
The complaint is filed in response to a ruling in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that found that Tucson’s hybrid elections are unconstitutional.
