The Arizona Attorney General said his investigators found one dead voter after thoroughly reviewing findings from a partisan review of the 2020 election.
The review was further discredited by the finding by the Republican attorney general. The review was led by an inexperienced firm, Cyber Ninjas, and was conducted by supporters of Donald Trump who believed the election was stolen.
In a letter to state Senate President Karen Fann, who used her subpoena power to obtain ballots, tabulators and election data and hired Cyber, Brnovich said that their agents investigated all individuals that Cyber Ninjas reported as dead, and many were very surprised to learn that they were actually
The outcome of the one substantiated incident was not immediately clear, but none of the three criminal cases the attorney general has filed over dead voters was related to the Cyber Ninjas investigation.
Ryan Anderson, the spokesman for the governor, did not respond to a phone call or text message and did not say whether charges had been filed. The people listed as dead were found to be current voters.
The Election Integrity Unit investigated a combined 409 names and produced only a few possible cases.
After President Joe Biden's victory, he vouched for the legitimacy of the election, but later went public with his investigation of the Cyber Ninjas allegations as he sought Trump's endorsement for his Senate campaign. Trump released a statement saying that the man wasn't doing enough to advance his claims of fraud.
There is no evidence that the election was rigged. The courts rejected the allegations of fraud made by the president.
The Cyber Ninjas looked at data from the largest county in the state. Experts said the report was rife with errors, bias and flawed methodologies. Even though Biden won by more votes than the official results, the partisan review found that the vote tally would not have changed the result.
