Arizona’s bogus election review continues to have far-reaching, democracy-undermining effects in Texas, Wisconsin, and elsewhere.

As we wrote last week, it did not matter that the sham “audit” of votes cast in Maricopa County repeated what had already been confirmed by actual independent audits — that Joe Biden defeated Trump. The election review’s primary outcome was in keeping conspiracy theories and lies about voter fraud alive for the multiple months it dragged on.

The decision is the most recent update in American Oversight’s lawsuit against the Postal Service for DeJoy’s calendars from 2020.

From the beginning, the “audit” was a sham process designed to provide a pretext for restricting voter access.

This week saw two major victories for transparency in Arizona and Pennsylvania — and new developments in the partisan election investigation in Wisconsin.

As lawmakers in various states move forward with their own sham election investigations, a web of familiar voter-fraud conspiracists have been linking up to promote the Big Lie.

Amicus curiae brief filed by American Oversight representing members of the Senate in support of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington in its lawsuit against the Department of Justice seeking the release of the memo cited by then-Attorney General William Barr as his reasoning for not charging former President Donald Trump with obstruction of justice.

On Tuesday, the Arizona Senate released tens of thousands of pages of records related to its partisan election "audit."

As the Arizona Senate continues its efforts to delay transparency in its election "audit," its contractors have introduced yet more delays of their own.

It's been a busy news week, from the fast-growing U.S. surge in Covid-19 cases and the new "code red" report on global warming to news about efforts past and present to undermine the 2020 presidential election.
