Arizona certified the results of the presidential election, handing another win to President-elect Joe Biden even as President Trump disputes the outcome.
Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, signed off on the election results Monday alongside Gov. Doug Ducey and Attorney General Mark Brnovich, both Republicans. Biden won the battleground state by 10,457 votes, a margin of about 0.3 points.
Ducey championed the integrity of Arizona’s election process during the certification.
“We do elections well here in Arizona. The system is strong, and that’s why I bragged on it so much,” the governor said.
While the state was certifying its election results, just down the road, Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and Trump campaign senior legal adviser Jenna Ellis participated in an unofficial hearing hosted by some GOP lawmakers to discuss allegations of election fraud.
During the meeting, Giuliani claimed that illegal immigrants voted in Arizona’s election, raised questions about the efficacy of the vote tabulation machines, and suggested that the Arizona Legislature take an active role in the election results.
“The officials certifying have made no effort to find out the truth,” Giuliani said during the meeting, “which seems to me gives the state Legislature a perfect reason to take over the conduct of this election, because it’s being conducted irresponsibly and unfairly. And why doesn’t your state Legislature exercise its responsibility under the Constitution?”
After the certification, Ellis tweeted that she wanted the legislature to get involved.
"DURING the #ArizonaHearing on election integrity, Arizona Secretary of State and Governor rush through certifying FALSE election results! This is misconduct and disenfranchising legal AZ voters! The legislature MUST ACT to stop this blatant corruption!" Ellis said.
The Monday certification comes as the Trump campaign continues a barnstorm of largely unsuccessful lawsuits contesting the election results in battleground states.

LOL!
FAKE.
PHONY.
FRAUD.
Traitors must hang.
Then look at the steel spined GOP and the incredible fight they've shown. 'I'd like to congratulate President Elect Biden and call on the outgoing President to begin a speedy transition...'
The GOP should be named POS.
Did they do that while the hearing was still going or did they wait until a few minutes after it ended
Bush League Republicans ARE Democrats in drag. (R jerseys)
So, now it can be challenged with lawsuits?
Sounds rushed to me.
Republicans (the "bipartisan" faction of the uniparty) are the Democrat's cabana boys.
No state should certify an election if there are outstanding lawsuits. But as far as I could see, there are no lawsuits, just Giuliani meeting with the legislature. Makes me wonder if legislative action would be valid after certification.
Arrest Hobbs
Dis-elect Ducey, he’s a dishrag
NO WAY did Maricopa county vote for Biden
Illegals+ sharpies + fake ballots = Biden margin
Sidney Powell has talked about states being de-certified but presumably that would have to come from a Supreme Court decision if they are not going to file a separate suit in AZ. Hopefully we will know more soon.
“Democrats in drag”
LOLOLOL
I wrote “Foxnews is bisexual” this morning.
Think were on to something...
yep
It's over Joe...I won!
Traitors all. We will not forget.
Liberty tree has a place for them.
The hearing is still ongoing as of now 3:45 pm EST
Was there an overnight Biden bump in AZ on Nov. 3-4 like there was in WI and MI? I know Biden was in the lead early on, and then we nearly caught up.
Trump has to rally against all of these Rino Republican governors when they’re terms come up. Ducey and Kemp should be on the top of his list.
