Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, fresh off a Supreme Court victory that upheld two voting laws, said Thursday people deserve confidence in the election system as the contentious audit of Maricopa County results rolls on more than two months after it started.
Brnovich, a Republican, defended the need for the audit, siding with court rulings allowing contractors hired by the GOP-led state Senate to inspect the voting equipment and recount the nearly 2.1 million ballots from the November 2020 election in Arizona’s largest county.
“I understand there are a lot of people who are frustrated and have questioned the results of the last election and to me, that speaks to the need for confidence in the system and the need for election integrity measures,” Brnovich told KTAR News 92.3 FM’s The Mike Broomhead Show.
Maricopa County previously authorized two audits of its November 2020 general election by independent contractors who are certified by the National Institute for Standards and Technology and the U.S. Elections Assistance Commission.
