Mark Brodie of KJZZ, Camryn Sanchez of Arizona Capital Times and Bob Christie of Capital Media Services attended.

Here are the top news:

• Election Integrity Hearings

What happened at the hearing?

“There have been quite a few conspiracy theories, including that elected officials were being bribed by drug cartels in Sinaloa,” Brody said. Governors and others were included in this theory. But Brody said it also included Republican leaders in the state legislature.

“It seemed like a backwards-walking type of race to see who could get out of here the fastest,” Brody said.

Shouldn’t these individuals be under closer scrutiny than this?

It was noted that they were supposed to be by the Speaker and the President of the Senate. “The real question is why did this Scottsdale real estate agent let this completely baseless conspiracy theory unfold for 45 minutes without anyone consulting him,” Christie said.

“I think it would be interesting to talk about who believes this conspiracy theory. Certainly there are people following President Harris and Senator Rogers on Telegram. Some people think they’ve been forced or bribed, they’ve revealed something and now they’re forced to take it back, but it’s true,” Sanchez said. I also pointed out that some people take this seriously.

How can I prevent something like this from happening again?

“It’s never happened this far before. When you do hearings like this, you have to have a decent sense of what they’re going to say. After the speech, Senator Rogers called her brave and she said, “Well, maybe this wasn’t the right place to do it.”

“This is nothing new. I mean, we’ve had this since last year’s Cyber ​​Ninja and all the hearings before Congress and the hearings on Yuma County. It’s all about comparison. It was an allegation without a factual background, and I think it was a claim that surprised even those who believed there was a problem with the election,” Christie said.
