AZ fake electors say evidence points to state violating anti-SLAPP law

Attorneys for the defendants claim the case violates a 2022 state law known as "SLAPP," which allows cases to be dismissed if the defense can prove the case violates freedom of speech. A judge ruled the defense's motion for dismissal warrants a response from the state, meaning the trial will not continue until a ruling is made on the anti-SLAPP motion.
