Potential governance gaps were identified by the Assessment Team from the [https://www.azag.gov/sites/default/files/2025-06/2020_General_Election_Investigation_Summary.pdf Arizona Attorney General's Office 2020 General Election Investigation] of Arizona Senate allegations. This Green Book attribute is relevant to all of the allegations submitted by the Arizona Senate since MC Elected Officials and MC leadership failed to recognize the importance of the Arizona Senate's oversight role. Investigative information was withheld by MC Elected Officials and MC Leadership, which ultimately lead to the Arizona Senate formally filing their allegations with the Arizona Attorney General. The public perceives MC leadership as lacking integrity and being unethical when they withhold information from the public and oversight entities, such as the Arizona Senate. This potential deviation from the Green Book standard applies to the following Arizona Senate Allegations:

==== Arizona Senate Allegations ====
As already noted in Green Book Attribute 1.01, Arizona Senate allegations arose from a failure to recognize the Arizona Senates Oversight Role. These allegations were investigated and reported on by the [https://www.azag.gov/sites/default/files/2025-06/2020_General_Election_Investigation_Summary.pdf Arizona Attorney General's Office 2020 General Election Investigation.]
The elected officials were considered as a possible oversight entity for MC operations. In this case, MC Elected Officials and MC leadership were apparently aligned with the position that the Arizona Senate was not entitled to perform oversight. Hence, the oversight and management were both demonstrating a lack of integrity and unethical behavior in the eyes of the public because of their lack of transparency.

All three conditions of this attribute applied during the 2020 General Election.

* '''Incentive/pressure''' - Management, other personnel, or external parties have an incentive or are under pressure, which provides a motive to commit fraud.
** This was a General Election and Maricopa County was significant for the purposes of the Electoral College, which elects the President of the United States of America. Maricopa County the most densely populated County in Arizona. The outcome of Maricopa County can sway all of the Electoral Votes, which are cast in accordance with the winner. Therefore, there is more of an incentive to conduct fraud in Maricopa County than it is to conduct fraud in a rural county. There is more benefit for conducting fraud in Maricopa than there is for conduction fraud in Yavapai County.
* '''Opportunity''' - Circumstances exist, such as the absence of controls, ineffective controls, or the ability of management to override controls, that provide an opportunity to commit fraud.
