GOP lawmakers are pressuring this county to hand count ballots in 2024 election – By Sasha Hupka (Arizona Republic) / Aug 2, 2023
First, it was Cochise County.
Then, Mohave County.
On Wednesday, Republican Sens. Sonny Borrelli and Wendy Rogers made Pinal County their third stop on a tour to convince supervisors in GOP-majority counties across Arizona to agree to hand count ballots.
Throughout an hour-long presentation and discussion, they urged Pinal County supervisors to manually tabulate results in next year’s elections, which include a Republican presidential preference election in March, a primary for other races in August and the general election in November.
They echoed election conspiracies that have repeatedly been proven false and play into unfounded fears of illegitimate elections — even as they claimed to be “presenting facts.”
