\nPHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich says his investigators found just one dead voter after thoroughly reviewing findings from a partisan review of Arizona\u2019s 2020 election. That review had alleged 282 ballots were cast in the name of someone who had died. \u201cAll other persons listed as deceased were found to be current voters,\u201d Brnovich wrote in a letter to state Senate President Karen Fann, who used her subpoena power to obtain ballots, tabulators and election data and hired Cyber Ninjas for what she called a \u201cforensic audit.\u201d.<\/p>\n

\nIn addition, three other reports were submitted for review, combining an alleged 409 dead voters. Brnovich says the office reviewed all the findings and only found a handful of probable cases. \u201cSome were so absurd the names and birthdates didn\u2019t even match the deceased, and others included dates of death after the election,\u201d the letter read.<\/p>\n
The finding announced Monday by Brnovich, who is running for U.S. Senate in Tuesday\u2019s primary, further discredits the review conducted last year by former President Donald Trump supporters. Brnovich did not say whether any charges have been filed in connection with the one substantiated incident. \u201cOur agents investigated all individuals that Cyber Ninjas reported as dead, and many were very surprised to learn that they were allegedly deceased,\u201d Brnovich said in the letter.<\/p>\n
In a statement released Monday, Fann thanks Brnovich and his team for their \u201ctireless work\u201d and for answering \u201ctough questions\u201d from voters and lawmakers about the 2020 election. \u201cThey asked us to do the hard work of fact-finding, and we are delivering the facts. This step of the AG\u2019s investigation is critical to restoring the diminished confidence our constituents expressed following the last election,\u201d Fann said. \u201cWe\u2019re grateful for the increased voter integrity measures put in place after the audit revealed weaknesses in our election processes. We will continue to work on election integrity policies in Arizona with an end goal of making it \u2018easy to vote yet hard to cheat\u2019 within our state.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
