The Arizona Senate plans to hold a public hearing on how the 2020 election was conducted, now that every legal challenge to the state’s election results has been dismissed.
Sen. Michelle Ugenti-Rita, R-Scottsdale, confirmed to Arizona Capitol Times on Wednesday night that she was temporarily appointed to the Senate Judiciary Committee for a public hearing on the election.
Ugenti-Rita did not share further details about the upcoming hearing, and Senate President Karen Fann declined to comment.
Republican lawmakers in both the House and Senate have been publicly and privately advocating for such a hearing for weeks. Some, including Senate Judiciary Committee member and Majority Whip Sonny Borrelli, R-Lake Havasu City, have been at protests claiming that the election was rigged — despite having not presented viable evidence to prove their claims, and seven lawsuits attempting to challenge the results failing in court.
