Arizona State Senator Sonny Borrelli said in an interview on the John Fredrick’s show, “People need to be prosecuted for this. We’ve identified three individuals already. Their names are being withheld right now, because, you know, everybody is presumed innocent until proven guilty”.

Borrelli also talked about the information from the forensic being turned over to Attorney General Brnovich for Criminal Investigation.

Borrelli also claimed, “What we have here is an ongoing conspiracy of a coverup that’s been perpetuated by the Maricopa County board of supervisors and the secretary of state’s office in perpetuating by the fake news mainstream media. And what they’re conducting now is more of a black-out operation, where they’re blocking out, blacking out all facts of what the audit was; the results. They’re involved in a propaganda psyop.”

Bronovich’s office put the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors on notice we will see what comes next in the ongoing fight for election integrity in Arizona.
