As Arizona Senate Republicans prepare to release 2020 ballot review, other states are just beginning
CBSN
The review of Maricopa County's 2020 election results ordered by Republicans in Arizona's state senate is set to be made public on Friday afternoon and reaffirm President Biden's victory in the state, according to a draft report obtained by CBS News. But Republicans in other states are moving forward with their own probes.
President Biden won Arizona by 10,457 votes and his victory was certified last year by state officials. A hand-count audit of the ballots after the election affirmed Mr. Biden's win, and two audits of voting machines conducted earlier this year found no issues with the election equipment.
Still, Senate Republicans in Arizona were intent on doing their own review. Arizona Senate President Karen Fann said that the goal wasn't to overturn the 2020 election results, but to improve future electoral processes. Some of former President Trump's allies, however, had been cheering the review and hoped it could be used to support claims of fraud that have been debunked.
