As the 2018 midterm election stretched into a days-long event and Democrat Kyrsten Sinema grew her lead in the race for U.S. Senate in Arizona, the McSally campaign distanced itself from claims of voter fraud and other election-related conspiracy theories pushed by the state Republican Party and President Donald Trump.
But shortly after the race was called by The Associated Press in favor of Sinema on Monday, McSally’s campaign CEO Jim Bognet took to Twitter to highlight the “multiple instances of electoral irregularities in Arizona, including extreme incompetence and possible purposeful misconduct in Maricopa County.”
In a series of tweets, Bognet pointed to a lawsuit filed by four county Republican parties — Maricopa, Apache, Navajo and Yuma counties — shortly before Election Day as evidence for the “irregularities.”
