Asst. AG refuses to certify Arizona election

 Conservative Brief:

The Arizona Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Wright has said she will not certify the election between Republican Kari Lake and Democrat Katie Hobbs until she gets answers to the questions she said surround the voting in Maricopa County.

“These complaints go beyond pure speculation, but include first-hand witness accounts that raise concerns regarding Maricopa’s lawful compliance with Arizona election law,” the assistant attorney general said in a letter to a top elections official, The Daily Mail reported.

“Arizonans deserve a full report and accounting of the myriad problems that occurred in relation to Maricopa County’s administration of the 2022 General Election,” she said in the letter to Thomas Liddy, civil division chief at the Maricopa County’s Attorney’s Office.

“As the canvass is looming, and these issues relate to Maricopa County’s ability to lawfully certify election results – the Unit requests a response to the aforementioned issues on or before Maricopa County submits its official canvass to the Secretary of State, which must occur on or before November 28, 2022,” she said.

Lake responded to the letter by insisting to The Daily Mail that she will become the governor even after the contest was called for Hobbs.

“The way they run elections in Maricopa County is worse than in banana republics around this world,” she said.
...

I get the impression that Democrats targeted large counties like  Maricopa in Arizona and Harris County in Texas in an attempt to sway the elections and turn what should be red states into swing states.  In Texas, although Harris County was a mess, it could not overwhelm the conservative rural areas in Texas the way Maricopa did in Arizona.

I think the AG is wise to investigate what happened in Maricopa.  Arizona should also be investigating the drop box scams where mules drop off ballot harvesting bundles.  Drop boxes should be eliminated for elections.  They make it too easy for people to cheat.

The state’s biggest county has no central system for tracking problems, so it still can’t say how many polling places opened late, ran out of paper or worked just fine.
