A top aide to Attorney General Mark Brnovich is accusing Secretary of State Katie Hobbs of undermining public confidence in the integrity of elections. In an often sharply worded letter, Joe Kanefield said Wednesday there’s no basis for her claims that President Trump and his administration are conspiring to undermine the timely delivery of ballots in Arizona. He called the complaint that Hobbs made “purely speculative,” saying she provided no evidence
More to the point, Kanefield, himself a former state elections director, said that the allegations by the Democrat secretary of state about coordination between Trump and Louis DeJoy, the postmaster general, ignore a crucial fact: DeJoy was appointed not by the president but by the postal service Board of Governors. Kanefield, a Republican like Brnovich, said DeJoy “does not report to the president.”
