After publicly expressing “grave concerns” over Arizona’s audit of the 2020 election results, and after her continual bashing of the Senate “fraudit” of Maricopa County ballots, Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) was “stripped” of her ability to “defend election lawsuits” by the state’s Republican-led House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday.
The responsibility was transferred “exclusively” to Attorney General Mark Brnovich (R) through the end of the 2023 fiscal year.
Katie Hobbs has conscientiously supervised elections in Arizona. Republicans there just stripped her of some powers — including her ability to litigate election lawsuits. They gave control of that process to the state AG, a Republican.
This is how democracy gets dismantled.
