Judge rules Maricopa County must provide 2020 ballots to Arizona Senate for audit under subpoenas [View all]
Maricopa County will turn over ballots from the November general election to the Arizona Senate and provide the Senate access to its voting machines so it can conduct an audit, after a judge's ruling Friday.
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Timothy Thomason said that the subpoenas issued by the Arizona Senate are valid. He said he disagreed with the county's arguments that they were unlawful and that the county legally could not hand over the ballots.
In response, Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Jack Sellers said in a statement Friday afternoon that the county "will immediately start working to provide the Arizona Senate with the ballots and other materials."
"We hope senators will show the same respect and care we have for the 2.1 million private ballots and use them in service of their legislative duties," Sellers said.
