The November 2020 election in Arizonas largest county was administered properly and not marred by fraud, the Republican-led local government concluded in a lengthy report released Wednesday. The 93-page document debunks one-by-one vague allegations of potential problems previously identified by the GOP-led state Senate and championed by former president Donald Trump and his allies.
County officials said the blunt rebuttal, released on the eve of the anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, was intended to highlight the ongoing dangers of unfounded claims of mass election fraud.
We have seen how people react when they think that an election has been stolen. They storm the U.S. Capitol. They threaten to kill and hang and shoot election workers. And they called other Americans traitors, said Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Gates (R) on Wednesday. The American family cannot stand for that. I will not stand for that.
Arizona has been at the forefront of Trumps ongoing efforts to challenge the legitimacy of President Bidens 2020 victory. The GOP-led state Senate hired private contractors to perform a hand recount of nearly 2.1 million ballots in Maricopa County, home to Phoenix, as well as to review how the countys election was conducted.

(82,849 posts)They've already set the narrative in their minds that there is no way the guy who lost the 2016 election by 2.8 million votes could have possibly lost the 2020 election by 7.1 million votes, despite his feckless record of incompetence, corruption, and toadying sycophancy to the worst despots on the planet.
