We’ve seen for months — years, in fact — how lies about widespread voter fraud have fueled calls for new voting restrictions. Arizona has been a hotbed of those proposals. Here’s recent news about the Big Lie in Arizona — and how we’re investigating.

Last week, an Arizona Senate committee approved bills that would increase the monitoring of voter-registration rolls; direct county clerks to submit records of felony convictions for the purpose of canceling registrations; and prohibit electronic voting.

The committee also advanced a bill that Courthouse News reported “would create a permanent election audit team under the umbrella of the Arizona state Legislature” and could be made up of former Cyber Ninjas “auditors.”

Our fight for records from that bogus election “audit” continues, with the Arizona Supreme Court saying that it will hear an appeal of lower court rulings in our lawsuit.

We’ve already obtained over 80,000 pages of records as part of our investigation.

The records paint a clear picture of partisan bias, shoddy methodology, and the involvement of conspiracy theorists in the "audit" process. Read about our findings here:
