PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has released three separate documents related to the investigation into the 2020 General Election. In a news release issued Wednesday morning, the AG’s office said that agents and staff spent 10,000 hours looking at any possible irregularities and pieces of evidence of voter fraud but lacked to find any.
“In each instance and in each matter, the aforementioned parties did not provide any evidence to support their allegations. The information that was provided was speculative in many instances and when investigated by our agents and support staff, was found to be inaccurate.”
Accusations of widespread voter fraud have been a highlight for a far-right segment of the GOP since 2020 when former President Donald Trump’s claims that illegal votes led to his loss in Arizona and other battleground states. Some of those conspiracies shared on social media claimed proof of satellites changing votes to favor then-candidate Joe Biden, bamboo ballots, and dead people voting. None of those claims have been substantiated.
“The results of this exhaustive and extensive investigation show what we have suspected for over two years – the 2020 election in Arizona was conducted fairly and accurately by elections officials,” said Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes. She also adds that the office looked at “every conspiracy theory under the sun,” saying it “distracted this office from its core mission of protecting the people of Arizona from real crime and fraud.”
“Voter fraud is rare, and instances should be handled according to applicable laws when they do occur,” continued Attorney General Mayes. “But it is time to work together to defend American democracy and uphold the rule of law. It’s time for the divisiveness to stop, and it’s time for our country to heal.”

This report was done under Brnovich. He left office without releasing it.
Isn’t she the former cartel lawyer?
Exactly the rat SOS will cherry pick to create and support a narrative
Anyone can see that the Associated Pravda and their fellow news-shills at AZFamily have presented this "news" in an "appeal-to-authority" setting by deliberately omitting the party of Kris Mayes [we won't even get into to her acquisition of the office of AG].
You never change your Dem-bot stripes, do you? 
Funny why we never heard another word about how that first piece-by-piece audit of the 2020, found something over 80,000 ballots printed on out-of-spec paper. Those ballots should have all been thrown out and the votes on them cancelled. AZ law specifies weight of ballot paper and those were all printed on typical printer paper which is about half the weight of legal ballot paper. I thot Harmeet Dillon was going to fix this last election? I guess she did?
Note how the Narrative crafters at ApePee and AZFamily created an "appeal-to-authority" article by omitting her political party and the circumstances of her 2022 "victory".
Also note The Usual Suspects on this thread pumping up the ApePee's Narrative...
““We have investigated ourselves and have found no malfeasance” is the interpretation of this malarkey.”
IRS auditor: “Mr. Capone we think your income tax returns need a closer look for perhaps innocent errors on tax payments.”
Mr. Capone: “Certainly sir, prior to our meeting I had the esteemed auditing firm “Grab Steal Lie and Run” review my tax filings and here they are and all seems to be in order per them.
IRS auditor: “Yes, they do seem to be in order, and apologies from taking away your valuable time from the business of crime.”
Let's do some very simple math, allowing the "standard" 2000 hour's of work per calendar year (40 hr's x 52 weeks = 2,080 hour's.)
5 people times 2,080 hr's = 10,400 hour's.
I've never been to Arizona, but if I'm supposed to believe that five people who are supposed to be PROFESSIONALS took a full year and found nothing, than I'm bigfoot.
Ahh yes, a trick from the Obama administration: We investigated us and have found no wrongdoing.
I’m sure some shredders were smoking for days.
The more they insist there was no fraud, the more we back Trump. For not being mentioned a new stories other than negative ones, and his rallies not being broadcast, he is still leading the Republican field.
And this is also a neat trick. They, the investigators, define what would constitute “fraud.” Then, they don’t find any of what they defined as fraud. Missing, purposefully of course, that the fraud lies in the conduct of the investigators themselves who “count” the votes over a series of days destroying evidence as
they go along.
“We find no evidence that anyone held someone at gunpoint and forced them to vote for Biden and therefore find no fraud.”
But nobody alleged that. They alleged that mail in votes had been cast in the name of people who DIDN’T ACTUALLY SUBMIT A BALLOT.
“Prove it,” they say as they have destroyed all the evidence or outlawed you proving it.
Now, Republicans can rely on the same standard if they undertake the same election processes. That means, those in charge have made it so no one can prove anything, so it’s all fair game...
We need to take control of the election process, or this is a waste of time.
Not to mention Councilman Clint Hickman’s chicken barn… that was definitely smoking.
Any comment on the substance? That Brnovich's (R) very extensive investigation showed the election was fair?
I didn't think so.
Probably because the report didn't hold up.
If you have a link to the original I'll do some research.
This is real simple.
Do a signature check of 10,000 randomized ballots. If the error/duplication rate is less than 2%, no fraud.
My guess is it would be closer to 15-20%. Enough to swing elections.
As is your wont.
That's OK - your Democrat "judge" stooges have got any inquiries covered.
BTW - I personally don't care, because The Uniparty will NEVER admit to the vote fraud, and a good analysis of the situation going forward shows one how to handle governance by a Fake government.
Here we have a case where an admitted vote fraud believer (or at least a pretender), Brnovich(R), who is the top law enforcement official in the state, spends tons of taxpayer dollars on an investigation specifically to find evidence of fraud.
His investigators spend over 10,000 hours researching all the fraud claims that were made and concluded that none had merit.
They prepared a report saying this which Brnovich, being a coward, declined to release.
So tell me, what kind of investigation would you accept?
Or does it depend on the outcome?
