Katie Hobbs, who has served as Arizona’s Secretary of State since 2019 and defended the state‘s elections even as the GOP, led by former President Donald Trump, repeatedly assailed them with baseless conspiracy theories about election fraud, has announced a run for governor.
Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs called the ongoing Republican election audit of the state’s 2020 general election results “a farce” in an interview with CNN.
Maricopa County last week, as noted by CNN, “handed over nearly 2.1 million ballots and nearly 400 tabulation machines” to the state Senate after Republicans subpoeaned the materials, bolstered by the falsehood crafted by former President Donald Trump that the election had been stolen.
