LAWSUIT UPDATE: Today, we filed a new brief in our lawsuit against the Arizona Senate for records related to its sham “audit.” The public has a right to the facts about the audit and its objectives, and we’re continuing to seek answers.
americanoversight.org/document/ameri…
On May 19, we filed suit under Arizona’s public records law after the Senate failed to release documents related to the Maricopa County “audit,” including communications with contractor Cyber Ninjas.
We’ve already uncovered troubling documents, including emails from top leaders of the audit process:
The Arizona Superior Court in Maricopa County has set oral argument in this case for July 7, at 1:30pm MST. We’ll continue to post updates here on our investigation here and on our website at: americanoversight.org/investigation/…

The Arizona Senate released new records to us related to its partisan “audit” in Maricopa County.
The documents reveal new details about the involvement of outside companies as well as the role of Sen. Fann in preparing for the operation. #FOIAFriday

As in previous productions released in response to American Oversight’s requests for records, the latest documents show Fann fielding emails from conspiracy theorists.

Security at Arizona’s bogus “audit” is being handled by private groups, and we’ve uncovered more details about the agreements under which they’re operating, reports the @azmirror.
azmirror.com/2021/06/23/doc…
Much of the Senate’s sham process, from issues regarding how it’s being funded to the extent of certain groups’ involvement, has been shrouded in secrecy. Outside organizations have been raising money for the recount.
The newly released documents contain service agreements with groups providing security for the operation, including Anderson Security Agency, Law Enforcement Specialists, and the armed volunteer organization the Arizona Rangers.

We're investigating the sham “audit” in Arizona.

Records we obtained, reported on by @maddow, show a group had gone door to door to more than 3,000 homes asking Arizonans about their votes in the 2020 election.
The group, called the Citizen’s Non-Partisan Grassroots Project, put together a report in early March, which we obtained. The report alleges that 52% of the houses canvassed in Maricopa and Pima Counties “required an affidavit for an irregularity.”

The report’s dubious conclusions — and the fact that non-official canvassers were engaging in potential voter intimidation — shows the level of conspiracy surrounding the “Big Lie” and Arizona’s bogus “audit.”

Records we obtained further show top DHS officials during the Trump administration were in contact with far-right anti-immigrant groups.
americanoversight.org/document/dhs-c…
We FOIA’d DHS in 2020 for Ken Cuccinelli’s and Chad Mizelle’s communications with anti-immigrant groups after they became the DHS acting deputy secretary and acting chief of staff.
The documents show Mizelle and Chad Wolf, who served as the acting DHS secretary, were in contact with far-right anti-immigrant groups, including the Federation for American Immigration Reform, an @splc-designated hate group.

More than 6 months after the presidential election, the lies about a stolen election & voter fraud haven't stopped circulating.

Last week, we learned more about the former president’s attempt to overturn the election and the ongoing effort to undermine faith in democracy. THREAD
Last week, new emails released to Congress revealed the extent to which the Trump White House exerted pressure on DOJ and acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen to support baseless claims of widespread voter fraud and even bring a case to SCOTUS. 2/

The emails showed that in December 2020, when Attorney General William Barr was on his way out the door, Trump’s assistant forwarded Rosen a report, later debunked, alleging a conspiracy about election machines in a rural Michigan county. 3/

NEW: We just obtained more documents from Arizona’s sham election “audit.” Records show audit leader Randy Pullen was in contact both with conspiracy theorists and Republican leadership regarding the partisan recount. #AZleg
americanoversight.org/document/arizo…
Bruce Ash, the former national committeeman of the AZ Republican Party, forwarded Pullen an email Ash sent to Republican National Committee Co-chair Tommy Hicks essentially asking for RNC funding to defend against challenges to the sham “audit.”
The records suggest that Pullen, who is now involved in the bogus “audit” in an official capacity, was communicating directly with conspiracy theorist Jovan Hutton Pulitzer at least as far back as February.
