Election Anomalies
Governance issues identified from Arizona Attorney General's Office 2020 General Election Investigation of Arizona Senate allegations of Maricopa County Election Department - Drop Box Collections issues. Five procedure violations were identified by the AZ AG's inspector, especially considering this was a narrowly focused aspect of the Election process. However, the adverse impact could not be determined. These procedure violations could have possibly prevented the introduction of hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of fraudulent ballots for tabulation. MC's ability to detect fraud or retrieve data during a subsequent fraud investigation were also adversely impacted. The competency of Election Leadership is questionable.
