AZ Audit Will 'Indefinitely Defer' Voter Interview Plans Over Intimidation Concerns Raised By DOJ [View all]
The Arizona Senate has said it will hold off on a controversial plan to knock on voters’ doors as part of a Republican-commissioned election recount that raised concerns about voter intimidation.
State Senate President Karen Fann (R) said in a letter to the Department of Justice Friday that the door-to-door effort to interview voters as part of an audit of Maricopa County’s 2020 election results would not go forward after federal officials raised concerns that the canvassing could violate civil rights laws protecting against voter intimidation.
The audit has persisted amid former President Donald Trump’s ongoing promotion of the lie of a stolen election, even as county officials say the 2020 election results which favored President Joe Biden have been validated repeatedly.
The head of the department’s civil rights division, Pamela Karlan, had written to Fann on Wednesday suggesting that the recount by Cyber Ninjas, a Florida-based firm contracted bu the state Senate to conduct the recount may not comply with federal law.
