The state Senate claims it doesn’t have “possession, custody or control” of key records of its own audit of Maricopa County ballots.

The founder of the firm hired by the state Senate to oversee the audit of Maricopa County’s 2020 election results repeatedly circulated lies about widespread voter fraud.

Public records request to Arizona Sen. Warren Petersen seeking communications regarding the planned audit of Maricopa County's 2020 election results, including communications with individuals representing the interests of the GOP or attorneys of former President Trump.
