State senators in Arizona are ramping up their challenge against election fraud in the state. Chairwoman Kelli Ward (R-Ariz.) gave an update on state legislators’ efforts to promote election integrity.
In a video posted to Twitter on Wednesday, she slammed Maricopa County’s Board of Supervisors for stating they want election transparency, but doing nothing about it when given the chance.

Ward also challenged the county’s decision against complying with election related subpoenas. According to Ward, the judge overseeing the lawsuit claimed the legislators could enforce the subpoenas without the help of the court.
“He said he doesn’t know what the court can do because the legislature has the same power as the court to enforce a subpoena,” she stated.
On Tuesday, state Senate Republicans filed a lawsuit against election officials in Maricopa County. They requested full compliance with their subpoenas that demand the release of copies of all counted mail-in ballots. This effort has been led by state Senate President Karen Fann (R-Mo.) and state Senator Eddie Farnsworth (R-Ariz.).
The lawsuit also demanded that state lawmakers be allowed to conduct their own audit of this year’s elections, including one into Dominion Voting Systems. If they obtain these election materials and find evidence of errors or fraud during the audit, it could give Arizona lawmakers the ability to hand their state’s electoral votes to President Trump.
However, state legislators are coming down to the wire. They would have to complete the audit and decide what to do with their findings before January 6, which is when the U.S. Congress is set to review the electoral college vote.
Election officials claim they are not able to provide access to voting equipment due to ongoing litigation.
I suspect the judge meant the legislature, not a partisan subgroup of legislators.
Seize the machines!!
Send the State Police to enforce the order arrest the county police and leaders if they fail to comply.
This is a bunch of hogwash??? If the county officials won't comply, the legislature has no option but to rescind the electoral votes cast. It would be dishonest to do otherwise?
The State Police are under the control of the executive branch, the Governor.

27 FBI agents, a boat, a helicopter and CNN live crew at 6AM 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Quick, someone find a noose so the FBI shows up with 15 agents.
A "partisan" group of legislators has every right to get a subpoena so that they can examine the machines.
Maybe morally but probably not legally.
“The State Police are under the control of the executive branch, the Governor”
Well, I guess that won’t work. Must be something to make the county legislators uncomfortable.
What legal principle would stop increased transparency for a political party that feels that they have been cheated by the voting machines?
Time to re-deputize the AZ Rangers and send them in.
They still exist you know? They are all volunteer, they just do not have law authority now.

That random individuals or factions can't use government power to compel other parties to do the things they want via subpoena.

These are machines being used to fulfill ones right to vote. These are machines that are being shielded by government.
People who vote on these machines and the candidate who are on the ballot have every right for transparency.
Send em in under direction of a Federal Marshal!
