Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich
Maricopa County and Dominion continue to defy legislative subpoenas for the items needed by the Arizona Senate to complete the first full forensic election audit in state history.
In a contemptuous letter to the Senate, Jack Sellers mocked citizen efforts to preserve our right to vote, secure our elections, and save our country.
Sellers doesn’t want us to see what is on these routers. Who does China Jack really work for?
These subpoenas were ruled by a judge legal and enforceable. The County has violated the law and it’s time to take action.
Arizona State Senator Sonny Borrelli has another tool in the toolbox that he has been waiting to use.
Arizona SB 1487, introduced by Congressman Andy Biggs during his time as an Arizona State Senator, gives any member of the legislature the power to enact an investigation by the Attorney General’s office into law violations by a county, city, or town.
When a law has been violated, The Attorney General shall provide notice that the county, city, or town has 30 days to resolve the violation. If they fail to resolve the violation within 30 days, the treasurer shall withhold state shared revenue from the county, city, or town. Shared funds will not be returned to the county, city, or town until the violation is resolved.
Maricopa County is in violation of the law. Maricopa will lose state funding if they do not cooperate.
SB 1487 can be found below. Read the full text here.
