With Kari Lake's legal complaint alleging systematic signature verification failures in Maricopa County remanded by the Arizona Supreme Court to trial court, closer examination of the signature verification software used by the county reveals a strikingly low threshold for signatures to qualify as "high-confidence" matches. Since falling about 17,000 votes short in the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election to Democrat Gov. Katie Hobbs, Lake has continued to contest the election results in court, arguing that there were ballot chain of custody and signature verification issues in addition to thousands of Republican voters disproportionately disenfranchised on Election Day, when voting machine errors...

PHOENIX — Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich filed a lawsuit Thursday against the Biden administration to stop its "illegal" student loan cancellation program. The lawsuit challenges the president’s authority, through the Department of Education, to cancel more than $500 billion in student loan debt without congressional approval. “This mass debt forgiveness program is fundamentally unfair, unconstitutional, and unwise,” said Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich. “The question Americans need to be asking is why college costs so much in the first place?” Under the student debt cancellation program, the administration plans to cancel $10,000 to $20,000 of student loan debt for...

Biden as his DOJ continues its attempts to undermine our election integrity laws. I will see you in court. Again."</p>

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Attorney General Mark Brnovich released a report on the evidence of voter fraud in Maricopa County, yet he still has done nothing about it. The Attorney General also reported document production troubles and the County’s repeated failure to comply with requests. A previous report by Verity Vote discovered that Maricopa County failed to record the number of ballots on 1,514 out of 1,895 unique chain of custody documents and failed to record signatures on 48 of these documents. This resulted in 740,000 ballots missing proper chain of custody documentation. The Arizona Attorney General’s report...

Blake Masters has taken a clear lead in Arizona’s Republican U.S. Senate primary, edging past Attorney General Mark Brnovich and businessman Jim Lamon, a new poll provided exclusively to Breitbart News ahead of its public release shows. The poll, conducted for the pro-Masters Super PAC Saving Arizona PAC, shows Masters with a four-point lead over both Brnovich and Lamon. Masters, at 22 percent, leads both Brnovich and Lamon — both of whom are at 18 percent — by more than the poll’s 3.46 percent margin of error. Another candidate, Mick McGuire, is down at seven percent and Justin Olson is...

President Donald Trump announced that he would not be endorsing state Attorney General Mark Brnovich, R-Ariz., for U.S. Senate. Trump claimed the state attorney general received “massive information on the fraud and so-called ‘irregularities'” that reportedly took place during Arizona’s 2020 presidential election. However, Trump accused Brnovich of “doing nothing” rather than going after those who committed the “election crimes.” “Attorney General Brnovich of Arizona was given massive information on the fraud and so-called ‘irregularities’ that took place in the 2020 Presidential Election,” Trump wrote in a statement on Monday. He continued, “Well, he did a report, and he recites...

Suing your beloved alma mater is never easy, but that's exactly what Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich did when he saw Arizona State University abusing its tax-exempt status to let big business avoid paying taxes. With this sleazy tactic, many universities across the country are actually becoming the largest real estate developers in their states. Brnovich also sued the Arizona Board of Regents for increasing tuition by an astronomical 300% within a few years and offering illegal immigrants in-state tuition that was lower than what American citizens attending the school from out-of-state paid. He won the latter part of that...

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich issued a report on Wednesday that claimed the office had not found evidence of widespread voter fraud or irregularities in the 2020 presidential election in Maricopa County. However, the Attorney General did raise serious concerns about voting procedures in his interim report to Senate President Karen Fann. Brnovich claimed his office ‘has left no stone unturned in the aftermath of the 2020 election.” His report can be read in full below. https://www.scribd.com/document/568477855/Arizona-AG-Report-on-Reports-of-Fraud-in-2020-Election#from_embed “Six months ago the Arizona Attorney General’s Office (the “Office”) received reports sent from the Arizona State Senate concerning its Maricopa County Forensic...

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich on Monday issued a legal opinion that determines that the ongoing crisis at the southern border is an "invasion" under the Constitution – a move he says gives the state the power to take additional measures to defend itself. In the opinion, Brnovich says that the definition of "invasion" contained under the U.S. Constitution is not limited to hostile foreign states, and can include "hostile non-state actors." "The violence and lawlessness at the border caused by transnational cartels and gangs satisfies the definition of an ‘invasion’ under the U.S. Constitution, and Arizona therefore has the...

It has now been two weeks since the Arizona audit presentation exposed massive amounts of fraud and elections law violations. The unredacted, uncensored audit report and all evidence of criminality have been delivered to Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich. Since this delivery was made, Brnovich has issued a litigation hold notice on the County. However, we have still seen no real action out of Attorney General Mark Brnovich. Today, Wendy Rogers tweeted, Rogers: Everyone is asking what is going on with the AG in Arizona. I have no idea. I will work on finding out but no news in this...

Arizona State Senator Kelly Townsend has filed another 1487 request to Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich's answers to the questions raised by the Arizona audit. In August, State Senator Sonny Borrelli used this same law which requires the Attorney General to investigate a potential violation of the law and withhold 10% of state shared funds if the violation is not corrected within 30 days. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich delivered, forcing the County to settle with The Arizona Senate over Senate subpoenas. The questions raised over the last six months about the 2020 election remain unanswered and after the most...

PHOENIX - A judge has struck down provisions Republican lawmakers tucked into the Arizona budget that block schools from requiring masks and restrict the power of local governments to impose COVID-19 requirements. The ruling was made on Sept. 27, just days before the ban was officially set to take effect on Sept. 29. Despite the new laws banning mask mandates, at least 29 public school districts in Arizona have enacted their own mask requirements. The districts account for more more than a third of the approximately 930,000 students attending more than 2,000 schools run by public districts. The ruling Monday...

There are generally three types of politicians. The first is the AOC type, always saying outrageous things that generate attention by riling up the base, but they never get much accomplished other than raising money for themselves. The second consists of those who get into office and then proceed to compromise with the other side, the John Kasich types. The third group is those who actually get a lot done in line with their principles, usually quietly so they can get more done without being noticed. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich is the third type. For the first six years...

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich is leading the nation as the first to sue the Biden regime over the vaccine mandate. His case is weak because, instead of being based on the principle that government has no constitutional authority to do this, it argues that the Biden vaccine mandate discriminates against American citizens because illegal immigrants are not required to be vaccinated. [We suspect that Brnovich may be pursuing a strategy that everyone on the inside know will fail in court and, by so doing, set a legal precedent favoring mandatory vaccines. This ploy of political law suites designed to...

Arizona filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration’s sweeping COVID-19 vaccine mandates that affect federal employees, most healthcare workers, and employees at numerous private businesses—likely the first lawsuit that was filed against the policies. “The federal government cannot force people to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The Biden Administration is once again flouting our laws and precedents to push their radical agenda,” Attorney General Mark Brnovich, a Republican, said in a statement on Tuesday. In a lawsuit that was filed in the U.S. District Court of Arizona, Brnovich’s team contrasted the new mandates against the lack of COVID-19 vaccine rules for...

On August 6, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich began an investigation into Maricopa County’s noncompliance with legislative subpoenas. The Arizona Senate has subpoenaed the County multiple times with ongoing noncompliance. The materials requested are necessary to finish the full forensic audit of Maricopa County’s 2020 election. Arizona State Senator Sonny Borrelli requested AG Brnovich to investigate the County’s noncompliance with the legal and enforceable subpoenas. In a notice to Maricopa County, the Attorney General’s office requested a written response by Friday, August 20. Maricopa County responded yesterday, claiming innocence and asking the Attorney General to take no further action.

An executive at Peter Thiel’s venture capital fund is running for a US Senate seat with $10 million in backing from his boss. Blake Masters, the 34-year-old chief operating officer at investment firm Thiel Capital and a former protege of the billionaire at Stanford, announced Monday that he is running as a Republican to unseat Arizona Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly in 2022. In his campaign launch, Masters pledged to “completely end illegal immigration” and fight “indoctrination” in the school system. Masters has never held public office and faces a crowded GOP primary field that includes state Attorney General Mark Brnovich...

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs is asking Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich to investigate potential violations of Arizona law over the Senate's audit of ballots cast in Maricopa County in November 2020. Her letter was shared on Twitter Friday. Hobbs response is following an investigation from Arizona's Family on Thursday regarding security issues at Arizona Senate's election audit at the State Fairgrounds. Secretary of State Katie Hobbs "Local reporting yesterday made it clear that Karen Fann and her Cyber Ninjas have not implemented sufficient security to protect the integrity of election equipment and ballots," Hobbs...

Arizona’s AG is arguing Biden's immigration policies are in violation of the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) — because illegals keep littering as they hop the border. Mark Brnovich said he would force Biden to resume construction of the border wall and reinstate Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy until DHS has complied with NEPA’s requirement that federal agencies assess the environmental impact of major policy changes prior to their implementation. “I think it’s imperative that we do everything we can to try to address the crisis at our border, so I’m using the tools that I have in my toolbox,”...
