Arizona Attorney General Asks Secretary of State for Evidence of Potential Voter Fraud

Senator Amy Klobuchar, chair of the Senate Rules Committee, took her show on the road on Monday. She held a hearing in Atlanta, one of several red-hot centers of the current attempts by the Republican Party to turn the United States of America into a one-party state where that party is full to its gunwales with crazy people.

As the Arizona Senate and its hired auditors continue to look at how Maricopa County handled the 2020 General Election, some unrelated election investigations are moving to courtroom.
Next month Tracey Kay McKee of Scottsdale is slated to be at Maricopa County Superior Court where she stands charge with two felonies related to an attempt to cast an early ballot belonging to a deceased voter. She is being prosecuted by the office of Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich.
McKee is the daughter of the voter who died Oct. 5, two days before the early voting period began. There would not have been time to stop the mailing of the voter’s early ballot, according to county election officials. However, McKee allegedly signed her mother’s name on an affidavit under penalty of perjury.

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich’s office has asked Secretary of State Katie Hobbs for potential evidence of illegal voting a move that counters her request that he investigate a pressure campaign by former President Donald Trump’s allies to “stop the counting” last year.

The Hobbs administration is waiting for a report from a national organization that works with states across the nation to help identify potential incidents of double voting, a spokesperson for Hobbs said Friday.
