Top Arizona officials urge counties to withhold voter data as FBI, DHS relitigate state's elections

Arizona’s top law enforcement official and chief election officer are warning county officials not to hand over full, unredacted voter files to the federal government amid probes by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security into the state’s 2020 election.

Attorney General Kris Mayes and Secretary of State Adrian Fontes — both Democrats — wrote in a joint letter to county recorders that disclosure of such materials to the U.S Department of Justice would “violate both federal and state law.” They urged the recorders, who control voter registration data, to “fulfill your oath by declining any such illegal demands.” Mayes and Fontes stopped short of promising litigation against anyone who gave voter information to the federal agencies, though they hinted at it.

“Our offices are committed to upholding the sanctity of Arizona’s elections and democratic process,” the letter read. “We will pursue to the fullest extent of the law all possible remedies to ensure the integrity of Arizona’s elections and the privacy rights of its citizens.”

Their letter comes amid moves by President Donald Trump’s administration to relitigate an election he lost, and that was repeatedly upheld after being subjected to unprecedented challenges, reviews, and scrutiny.

...what makes ANYONE think the bozos in the current federal government, run by an imbecile, will suddenly find "massive fraud" at this point??

This is nothing more than the screaming temper tantrum of a 79 year old BABY who's a raging narcissist with an extremely low intellect whose fee fees have a boo boo!!
