Arizona secretary of state threatens to decertify equipment examined by 2020 election auditors

Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs told officials in Maricopa County that she would consider decertifying election equipment subpoenaed as part of the Senate-commissioned 2020 election audit if the county moves to reuse the equipment in future elections.

Hobbs, a Democrat, wrote in a Thursday letter to members of the county’s Board of Supervisors that she has “grave concerns” over the integrity of voting systems that Cyber Ninjas, a Florida-based firm which has been conducting the audit on behalf of the Republican-led Arizona Senate, has been examining.
