PHOENIX (AP) Voting machines from Arizona’s most populous county should not be used in the future after state Senate Republicans forced officials to give them access for an audit of 2020 election results, the state’s top elections official said Thursday.

This entire audit by Senate Republicans is uncharted territory for Arizona.
An audit commissioned by a Senate president is a first.
This is so unprecedented that there is nothing in state law or the Elections Procedures Manual that envisions the tabulation equipment leaving the custody of the county s Elections Department, according to Megan Gilbertson, spokeswoman for the Maricopa County elections department.
Hobbs contends that the break in the chain of custody when the county shipped its elections machines to the Senate s audit site at Veterans Memorial Coliseum raises serious concerns.
Chain of custody is a critical piece of elections procedure, ensuring there s no tampering with ballots or equipment. Custody of election materials is tracked very step of the way.

The county hired several firms to conduct the audit, led by Cyber Ninjas, a Florida-based firm that has no election experience before 2020 and is led by a Trump supporter who has promoted election conspiracies.
The audit will not change the outcome of the election, but many Trump supporters hope it will lead to similar reviews in other battleground states and turn up evidence that President Joe Biden’s victory was illegitimate. Critics say it’s a fruitless attempt to further Trump‘s narrative about the 2020 election and will diminish faith in the democratic process.
“I have grave concerns regarding the security and integrity of these machines,” Hobbs wrote to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, which is controlled 4-1 by Republicans.
