We obtained correspondence between members of the Arizona legislature and a nationwide network of donors, activists, attorneys, and candidates for elected office “whose goal is completing a cyber forensic audit in their state.” Here’s how we’re investigating.

We uncovered an invitation to an “Election Integrity Call” on July 3. Invitees included prominent supporters of the Big Lie: John Eastman (the lawyer who wrote a memo saying VP Pence could reject Joe Biden’s victory), Mike Flynn, and attorney Lin Wood.

We want to shed light on efforts to conduct unnecessary and partisan “forensic audits” of the Nov. 2020 election. We filed public records requests for the communications of state legislators who were invited to participate in the call with other invitees.

More than a year later, voices in the right wing continue to claim — without evidence — that widespread fraud occurred during the 2020 election. Election reviews are a key way those conservatives are fueling the fraud narrative and pushing new voting restrictions.
