BREAKING Maricopa County Board votes unanimously to file notice of claim against Arizona State Senate for $2.8 million cost of replacing election equipment handed over to Cyber Ninjas. Senate Prez Fann agreed to indemnify county before receiving eqpt in April. WHAT'S A 'NOTICE OF CLAIM'? Under AZ law, financial claims against public entity start with notice of claim, not lawsuit. The entity, in this case AZ Senate, has 60 days to respond after claim filed. If no settlement of claim, filer can sue.

SETTING IT STRAIGHT (Thread) News/tweets this AM say @stephen_richer is 'the Republican leading Maricopa County elections department.' Richer doesn't run elections, nor does he claim to. It was also incorrect to say @Adrian_Fontes ran 2020 election. Here's what's missing... In 2019, Fontes agreed to give up recorder's election authority to 5-member (4 GOP) Maricopa County Board. So in 2020, for 1st time in more than 60 years, County Board oversaw elections. Operations run by 2 professional elex directors. Back story: bit.ly/2RqyL6p

✅ Law firm that employs former extern worked on Trump election challenges
✅ Law firm owner was GOP candidate in '20
✅ Law firm reps Senate GOP's lead auditor, Cyber Ninjas.
