AZ election integrity: Hobbs allegedly withheld evidence in Hamadeh trial, AG changes election unit

JTN: Amid allegations that Arizona Democratic Gov.

Former Arizona Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Wright, who served in the civil division of the office’s election integrity unit under former Attorney General Mark Brnovich, joined GOP attorney general nominee Abe Hamadeh’s lawsuit against Hobbs and Mayes last week and argues that Hobbs didn’t provide evidence in Hamadeh’s trial last month.

Hamadeh’s lawsuit alleges that multiple Arizona counties inaccurately counted votes in the attorney general election and requests that “all ballots read as undervotes” be inspected.
