Arizona Republicans have appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court in their case involving voting irregularities.

Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Kelli Ward posted a video update regarding the lawsuit on Twitter. 

“Today is the day that you’ve been waiting for,” Ward said in the video update. “Our case is going to the Supreme Court of the United States. We are filing and hopefully we will be accepted with an expedited ‘oompf’ behind us.”

Ward said if accepted they will be the third case to make it so far.

“Why does this need to go to the Supreme Court? Well, simply because we have not had due process,” Ward said. “It is unconstitutional for us not to have due process.”

Ward said due process in this case is time to make a case, do discovery and hold a hearing.

“The judge set unrealistic deadlines,” Ward said. “He believed that he had to have his case out of his hands by Dec. 8. Well, that only gave us three days to examine up to three million ballots, which we all know is impossible.”

Ward said in Arizona for more than 100 years they have had to wait until the day after an election to file an election contest, which means they only have eight days to do everything they need to do.

Ward said everyone knows that isn’t enough time to do a case that is as important as choosing the next president of the United States.

“So, this is going to go to the Supreme Court and guess who's fighting it? The Democrats, the left, the media,” Ward said. “The media loves to say, 'show us the evidence.' We found evidence, but then we didn't have enough time to do more discovery because they kept that evidence locked up.”

Ward said their actions are obscuring the truth.

“It's smoke and mirrors and the people of Arizona see right through it,” Ward said. “So do the people of America as a whole. Those Democrats don't care about accountability. They don't care about transparency. They certainly don't care about the integrity of this election. But, I can tell you the Republican Party of Arizona does and so does Dr. Kelli Ward. We're going to continue the good fight with you.”
