An informed public,
a strengthened democracy.
Today, nonpartisan public records watchdog American Oversight released the following statement on the recent indictments in Arizona of the state’s fake electors and several others involved in the effort to overturn the 2020 election results, including Christina Bobb, Rudy Giuliani, and Mark Meadows.
“The Arizona Attorney General’s indictments are a vital step in holding accountable those who sought to interfere in the foundations of our democracy: the peaceful transfer of power and the right to vote.
“American Oversight’s investigations have revealed the extent to which the election denial movement has evolved since the failed electors plot, and how several of those indicted — including the RNC’s top ‘election integrity’ lawyer — remained integral to efforts to undermine the results of the 2020 election long after Jan. 6. As we approach another presidential election, our democracy will depend on ensuring that these and other individuals who’ve sought to overturn our free and fair elections are forced to answer for their dangerous and anti-democratic actions.”
American Oversight first obtained and published the fake electoral certificates from seven states in 2021. The organization’s investigations of the election denial movement and post-2020 efforts to undermine confidence in U.S. elections revealed important details about the involvement of several of the Arizona defendants and unindicted co-conspirators, including Christina Bobb, who was recently named the Republican National Committee’s senior counsel for “election integrity.”
Several of those indicted in Arizona were indicted in Georgia’s election interference case, including Giuliani, Eastman, Mark Meadows, Jenna Ellis, and Michael Roman. A guide to public records obtained by American Oversight that shed light on the election denial activities of the Georgia defendants and the unindicted co-conspirators in the Justice Department’s election case is available here.
Additionally, American Oversight has uncovered documents related to the election denial activities of the Arizona case’s unindicted co-conspirators, including former state Sen. Kelly Townsend, former state Rep. Mark Finchem, and attorney Jack Wilenchik.
