Rudy Giuliani reportedly oversaw the effort to use fake “election certificates.” Christina Bobb, an anchor on One American News, was also reportedly involved.

Documents we’ve uncovered show Giuliani & Bobb’s influence with Arizona “audit” leaders.
washingtonpost.com/investigations…
In December 2020, Bobb — who later began raising money for the “audit” — provided Senate President Karen Fann with purported “evidence” of voter fraud, writing that Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani had “asked me to send you these declarations.”
Records we obtained also include a group text from March 31, 2021 involving Fann, Bobb, and Giuliani in which Fann passed along a document with a title that began “Pres. Fann audit hiring.”
On Aug. 1, 2021, Bobb asked Fann if she could share her contact information with Michael Gableman, the attorney who is running the bogus election investigation initiated by Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos. Fann replied, “Absolutely of course.”
Recent reporting by the @washingtonpost suggests Giuliani and Bobb were involved in the fake electoral certificates scheme. We obtained phony forms submitted to Congress by Trump supporters in seven states. Read those documents here:

Yesterday, we questioned Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan under oath about his refusal to turn over public records related to the Arizona Senate’s partisan election "audit.”

Despite several court orders to produce the records, Logan refuses to release them.
americanoversight.org/cyber-ninjas-c…
Over the course of five hours, Logan repeatedly argued that records in his possession were not public records and did not need to be released. Numerous court rulings have determined that they are.

Logan testified that he did most of the “audit” work himself, with the help of an employee and subcontractors. He also said that he has started a new entity called Akolytos.

We’ve been investigating an election “audit” in Fulton County, Pa. Last year, we obtained text messages and other communications indicating that state Sen. Doug Mastriano apparently threatened the county with a subpoena unless they undertook the review.

According to earlier reporting from the Washington Post, the Fulton County review took place on Dec. 31, 2020, without the knowledge or attendance of the county’s Democratic commissioner, Paula Shives.

The documents we obtained contain text messages exchanged later that day by Shives and the county’s other commissioners and the county’s elections director, in which Shives expressed frustration at having been shut out from the review. Image

We’ve been investigating whether and to what extent Trump administration officials assisted the former president’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. This month, we submitted new FOIA requests to the Department of Defense to investigate.
americanoversight.org/document/foia-… Image
We want to know what, if any, role Trump allies at the Pentagon played in this effort.

We asked DOD for top agency officials’ emails and texts with the White House about the stolen-election lie from the weeks after the 2020 election.

In separate FOIAs, we requested DOD officials’ emails with the Trump campaign and right-wing entities that showed an interest in delaying or halting the certification of Biden’s win.

Federal prosecutors are reviewing the fake “electoral certificates” Trump supporters submitted as part of an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election, reports @CNN.

This is the latest effort to investigate the phony certificates we obtained.
cnn.com/2022/01/25/pol…
The state attorneys general in New Mexico and Michigan — two of the states where Trump supporters submitted phony certificates — previously referred the issue to federal prosecutors. apnews.com/article/joe-bi…
Last week, American Oversight’s @misloan2 and co author Dennis Aftergut wrote in Slate that those responsible for the fake electoral certificates may have violated multiple federal laws, and they called for the DOJ to take up the referrals.

We’ve been investigating Wisconsin’s partisan election review since May 2021.

Last week, we published several new documents and had significant developments in our ongoing litigation for related records. Here’s what you should know.
americanoversight.org/wisconsin-judg…
On Friday, Jan. 21, a judge ordered Michael Gableman, the attorney running Wisconsin’s partisan investigation of the 2020 election, to turn over to the court within 10 days sealed copies of records related to the inquiry.
The court also ordered Gableman to appear in person this Thursday to allow the court to assess whether he was properly served after we filed our lawsuit; Gableman’s lawyer maintains, contrary to record evidence, that he was not.

NEW: Records we obtained from December 2020 show contact Arizona legislators had with Donald Trump’s legal team and conspiracy theorists who tried to overturn the 2020 election.
americanoversight.org/december-2020-…
On Dec. 8, 2020, Phil Waldron — the retired U.S. Army colonel who pushed baseless voter-fraud claims and helped circulate a plan to challenge the 2020 election — emailed Arizona lawmakers with a proposal for eliminating some ballots from the vote totals.

Waldron also included Jenna Ellis (a lawyer on Trump’s legal team who helped file lawsuits seeking to overturn the election) and Bernard Kerik (an associate of Rudy Giuliani), and Katherine Friess (another attorney connected to the efforts to overturn the election results).
