Arizona secretary of state threatens to decertify equipment examined by 2020 election auditors
[Washington Examiner] Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs told officials in Maricopa County that she would consider decertifying election equipment subpoenaed as part of the Senate-commissioned 2020 election audit if the county moves to reuse the equipment in future elections.Hobbs, a Democrat, wrote in a Thursday letter to members of the county’s Board of Supervisors that she has "grave concerns" over the integrity of voting systems that Cyber Ninjas, a Florida-based firm which has been conducting the audit on behalf of the Republican-led Arizona Senate, has been examining. "If the County intends to re-deploy the subpoenaed equipment, over which the County lost custody and control, for use in future Arizona elections, please notify my Office as soon as possible ... so that we may properly consider decertification proceedings pursuant to A.R.S. § 16-442 as to the subpoenaed equipment," Hobbs wrote.
