Arizona's Democratic U.S. senators, Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly, called on the Trump administration to drop a federal probe into the state's 2020 election results. The senators argued that the investigation is a misuse of federal resources and undermines election integrity, as it focuses on unfounded claims of voter fraud rather than preventing cybercrime.
Sens. Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly urged the Trump administration to end a federal investigation into Arizona's 2020 election results. The probe, which includes a review of a partisan recount, was called a 'naked abuse of authority' by the senators. They argued that it wastes valuable resources that could be used to prevent cybercrime in future elections. The investigation was sparked by former President Donald Trump's claims of voter fraud, despite no evidence of widespread fraud being found in multiple reviews of the election. The senators' letter comes as federal authorities have seized election records in Arizona and Georgia, two states that Trump narrowly lost in 2020.
