Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Jack Sellers rejected claims made about the controversial audit of the 2020 election, demanding a retraction of public statements about the suspected destruction of evidence.
Arizona Senate President Karen Fann, the leader of the Republican-majority Senate, wrote an open letter to the board on Wednesday evening informing them the auditors discovered three main "Serious issues," claiming there was noncompliance of the legislative subpoena, chain of custody issues with the ballots, and evidence of database files being removed from the Election Management System computer.
"Moreover, the claim that our employees deleted election files and destroyed evidence is outrageous, completely baseless and beneath the dignity of the Arizona Senate. I demand an immediate retraction of any public statements made to the news media and spread via Twitter," Sellers added.
Maricopa Arizona Audit, which asserts to be the official account for the 2020 election review, accused county election officials of deleting files off a server before it was delivered, a claim to which Sellers directly responded: "That would be a crime - and it is not true."
Breaking Update: Maricopa County deleted a directory full of election databases from the 2020 election cycle days before the election equipment was delivered to the audit.
ARIZONA SENATE QUESTIONS WHETHER MARICOPA COUNTY ERASED KEY ELECTION FILES. Fann's letter was published shortly after Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, a stern critic of the Senate-led audit, raised concerns after one of her observers saw a Wi-Fi router connected to audit servers on Tuesday, which could jeopardize the security of election information.
Former President Donald Trump, who has made claims about widespread fraud in the 2020 election and lauded the efforts by the Republican Senate-led audit, which includes looking at the 2.1 million ballots cast in the county's election, released a statement on Thursday promoting Fann's letter.
