The Republican now leading the Arizona county elections department targeted by a GOP 'audit' of the 2020 election results is slamming former President Trump and others in his party for their continued falsehoods about how the election was run.

County officials who run elections could face a slate of new punishments as part of a nationwide Republican campaign to restrict access to the ballot.

Instead, the workers have moved at a snail’s pace and had to shut down Thursday after counting about 500,000 ballots. They plan to resume counting in a week, after high school graduation ceremonies planned for the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, which they rented for the ballot examination. Richer and the board say that statement is just plain wrong. In recent days, he and the board have begun calling out the continued falsehoods from Republicans who question Trump’s election loss.

Fann repeated the Senate’s demand for access to administrative passwords for vote-counting machines and internet routers. County officials say they have turned over all the passwords they have and have refused to give up the routers, saying it would compromise sensitive data, including classified law enforcement information held by the sheriff’s office.
