WASHINGTON – Republicans angling to replace Arizona’s governor, attorney general and secretary of state all have a history of amplifying President Donald Trump’s disproved claims about fraud in the 2020 election.
One frontrunner for governor led the charge in Congress to overturn the election. A candidate for attorney general recently gave the FBI state Senate records related to a post-election “audit” in Maricopa County.
One contender for secretary of state led a lawsuit claiming there were at least a half-million illegal names on state voter rolls, while her rival defended the state’s “fake electors” in court.
