Attorney General Mark Brnovich

Attorney General Mark Brnovich on Wednesday dismissed ongoing claims of election fraud in Arizona, arguing that “if indeed there was some great conspiracy” to steal votes from fellow Republicans, “it apparently didn’t work.”
What happened instead was simple and legitimate, Brnovich said during an appearance on Fox Business: Voters split their tickets, voting for Democrats in the presidential and U.S. Senate races and for Republicans down-ballot.
“In Arizona, there was a prediction that the (Republican-controlled) Legislature would flip. It didn’t,” said Brnovich, the No. 2 Republican in the state behind the governor. “There were some congressional districts that supposedly leaned Democrat. They didn’t flip. The county recorder here who oversees elections went from Democrat to Republican. The county attorney remained Republican.
“That’s the reality,” he said. “There is no evidence, there are no facts that would lead anyone to believe that the election results will change.”
