A report issued Wednesday by Arizona Attorney General Mark Brunovich found no evidence of widespread voter fraud or fraud related to the 2020 presidential election in Maricopa County, while some voters I raised a concern about the procedure.
The details of the interim report, half a year after the investigation, have been revealed in a 12-page letter Senate Speaker Karen Huang. Brnovic, a Republican, said his office “doesn’t do anything after the 2020 election.”
Former President Donald Trump has launched a sustained pressure campaign to expose illegal activities that back up his false claims that he defeated President Joe Biden in Arizona 17 months ago.
Trump defeated Arizona by fewer than 10,500 votes, and a Republican-commissioned review in Maricopa County confirmed Biden’s victory.
Trump repeated his allegations in Arizona, claiming massive fraud in January at a rally attended by three Arizona Republicans — Paul Gossar, Andy Biggs and Debbie Lesko. , voted against proving Biden’s victory.
“Winning Arizona is more than necessary,” Trump said at the rally, referring to Brnovic.
“I think he’s a good guy. I think he’s going to do his job,” Trump said.
Brnovich initially defended the integrity of the election results, much to the dismay of Kari Lake, the frontrunner for Republican governor.
Brnovic said days after Biden was nominated for the 2020 election, “there is no evidence and no reason to believe that the outcome of the election will change.”

Brnovic’s policy for the 2020 election began to shift under pressure from Trump and many Arizona Republicans. He is running for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat held by Democrat Mark Kelly.
Wednesday’s report did not find large-scale fraud or conspiracy in the 2020 election, but it did relate to certain procedures during the campaign, such as the signature verification process and transportation of ballots from ballot box locations. He outlined his office’s concerns about “serious vulnerabilities.”
Republican Senator Wendy Rogers denounced Brunovich minutes after his letter was published. in a tweetshe said: “I don’t like letters. I don’t respect any goblin cooks.
Fans did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Brnovic’s letter.
Stephen Richer, who was elected Maricopa County Record Keeper in 2020, criticized the media on Twitteraccused Brnovic of working “overtime” to undermine confidence in the election by ignoring a number of findings that could instill confidence.
“I remember spending hours with investigators on the entire tech stack, looking at questions like internet connectivity and data deletion. writes Richer.
