Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) rejected a request for an “independent analysis” of voting data in the state, concluding that it would simply amplify the voices of people who seek to “undermine our democratic process for political gain.”
“It is patently unreasonable to suggest that, despite there being zero credible evidence of any impropriety or widespread irregularities, election officials nonetheless have a responsibility to prove a negative,” Hobbs wrote in response to Arizona Senate President Karen Fann (R), who requested an “independent analysis” of voting data to restore confidence and credibility among residents.
“To be clear, there is no ‘current controversy’ regarding elections in Arizona, outside of theories floated by those seeking to undermine our democratic process for political gain,” Hobbs continued, adding that elected officials should “work to build, rather than damage, public confidence in our system” before formally denying the request:
I respectfully decline your request to push aside the work that remains to be done to ensure an orderly completion of this election and instead launch and fund with taxpayer dollars a boundless “independent” evaluation of “all data related to the tabulation of votes in the 2020 General Election.”
The Prescott Republican made the request on Monday, contending that an independent analysis would “help to restore credibility and hopefully end the current controversy over fairness in the election process in Arizona” given the mounting concerns and suspicions of fraud and abuse.

Must have something to hide.
What is this hack afraid of?
sounds like a free ticket directly to SCOTUS!
I’m sympathetic to the argument of the impossibility of proving a negative, but gathering supporting documentation and evidence and data is an entirely different animal.
We can’t have any openness regarding our elections, it’s undemocRATic party like.
“Your Honor, I object!” “Why?” “Because it’s devastating to my case!” “ Overruled.”
Going to prison.................
Why wouldn’t it verify your(fraudulent) count???
her lips were moving but Soros was speaking.
Signed,
President Elect joshua_c
Translation into plain English: It might expose the truth and that would amplify all kinds of problems (for the Left).
She’s Soros plant.
It’s really funny to hear a Dem say that it is “patently unreasonable” to prove a negative.
Justice Kavanaugh, for one...
Doesn’t want to be caught....protesteth too much....
Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D)...
Lock her up! Lock her up!
Reminds me of dealing with an addict when you catch them using or buying or something similar. Addicts and evil people don’t like being called out for something when they’re caught.
Maybe this SOS would like to understand her position and read the act. Is she a Soros-Babe?
LOSE the “requested” - YOU are the only party listed in the US Constitution empowered to promulgate rules for federal elections. If you believe there is a problem, ORDER the outside investigation.
