Arizona’s Maricopa County, which fought claims of 2020 election irregularities, has now coughed up dozens of potential election violations and referred them to the state attorney general, who has been asking for an example of fraud for nearly two years.
Officials told Secrets that the county turned over “no less than 40” cases to Attorney General Mark Brnovich just days before the 2022 election. It was unclear how long the county has been sitting on the possible fraud cases, but some sources said the county has known about it for a year.In a letter shared with Secrets today, the attorney general’s office pressed the need for “timely” notifications of fraud and the need for transparency in ballot cases.
“Transparency, legal and ethical obligations, timely enforcement of the law and equal protection under the law remains the priority of this agency,” said the letter to the Maricopa County recorder.SEE THE LATEST POLITICAL NEWS AND BUZZ FROM WASHINGTON SECRETS The state’s largest county fought election fraud charges ever since former President Donald Trump and allies raised them after the 2020 election. In Arizona, there was a 10,000-vote difference between winner Joe Biden and Trump out of 3.4 million ballots.
Brnovich faced intense pressure to find fraud, but he didn’t discover enough evidence to overturn the election. That disappointed Trump, who decided to endorse Blake Masters over Brnovich in the 2022 GOP Senate primaries.
