On Monday, the Arizona Senate released additional records related to its partisan “audit” of votes cast in Maricopa County, revealing new details about the involvement of various outside companies as well as the role of Senate President Karen Fann in preparing for the operation.

As in previous productions released in response to American Oversight’s requests for records, the latest documents show Fann fielding emails from conspiracy theorists, including one email sent less than two weeks after the presidential election asking that Fann appoint new electors to overturn the state’s results. Fann forwarded the email to legislative staff and wrote, “Hmmmm.”

The elector-replacement scheme was similarly floated in a Nov. 12 letter to Fann, also included in the documents, from members of the Oklahoma State Senate, who wrote: “If a legislature were to decide that as a result of fraud, or some other reason that undermined the validity of the election, that the results will not be trusted, they would be obligated to appoint Electors that would represent the will of the people.” (The letter does not point to any evidence of such fraud.)

In another email from early March, former Arizona GOP chair Randy Pullen emailed Fann with a proposal explaining how the group Audit USA would conduct the ballot recount. The head of Audit USA, John Brakey, made news in early May after telling a journalist that they were looking for bamboo fibers thanks to a conspiracy theory about ballots having been smuggled from Asia. Pullen later became a spokesperson for the “audit.”

1. Is this Arizona shit- show still going on?

3. Sadly, yes. And there are others now, pondering audits also.

7. I certainly hope this is not going to become the norm for future elections

Every time one side is not happy with the results, is this what we're going to get?

6. The nutjobs running the fraudit say they

should have a final report by the end of July, just in time to reinstall TFG in August, like he's been saying.

2. I cannot understand why this "audit" is being allowed

[secondwind]

4. Same here.. I think it's because they cannot be denied. ugh

5. Maybe. Dunno.

But it just seems wrong that they are allowed access to official voting records.
