PHOENIX — The U.S. Justice Department will be taking a closer look at whether any federal laws were broken by Arizona's partisan election audit, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said Friday, in a sweeping speech laying out his plan to defend voting rights.

While not specifically citing the audit initiated six months ago by Arizona Senate Republicans, Garland said "abnormal" methods were being used in some audits.

"Some jurisdictions, based on disinformation, have utilized abnormal post-election audit methodologies that may put the integrity of the voting process at risk and undermine public confidence in our democracy," Garland said.

Arizona Senate Republicans' audit, authorized by Senate President Karen Fann without a vote of the full Senate, is the country's longest-running and only active 2020 election review.

Garland did allude to a letter to Fann in May from the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division.

3. This seems weak to me, this 'review'. Isn't it clear they have violated the law? Or not?

4. Let me guess. An opinion will be reached sometime in 2023.

6. SCOTUS is going to be quite busy...

States will fight any Federal attempts... win or lose in State Courts and someone takes it to SCOTUS.

8. Well, well, well,

it looks like AG Garland just called AZ State Sen. Wendy Rogers bluff about putting him in an AZ jail if he attempts to "interfere" in the AZ fraudit.

C'mon Wendy, put up or shut your fucking piehole.
