Re: Maricopa County’s Administration of the 2022 General Election


Dear Mr. Liddy:

The Elections Integrity Unit (“Unit”) of the Arizona Attorney General’s Office (“AGO”)
has received hundreds of complaints since Election Day pertaining to issues related to the administration of the 2022 General Election in Maricopa County. These complaints go beyond pure speculation, but include first-hand witness accounts that raise concerns regarding Maricopa’s lawful compliance with Arizona election law. Furthermore, statements made by both Chairman Gates and Recorder Richer, along with information Maricopa County released through official modes of communication appear to confirm potential statutory violations of title 16.

Pursuant to the AGO’s authority under A.R.S. § 16-1021, the Unit hereby requests
Maricopa formally respond to and address the following concerns that have been raised.

...

Based on the plethora of reports from election workers, poll observers, and voters, combined with Maricopa County’s admission that there were in fact widespread problems related to non-uniform BOD printer configuration settings, the Unit requests that Maricopa County provide a comprehensive report detailing with specificity:

    (1) the voting locations that had problems with either BOD printers or tabulation;
    (2) the specific problems at each voting location;
    (3) any other issues related to BOD printers and/or tabulators that may have contributed to the problems at voting locations;
    (4) a comprehensive log of all changes to the BOD printer configuration settings (to include the identity of individuals making changes);
    (5) Maricopa County’s standards for the BOD printer configuration settings as specified in internal technical specifications and/or manufacturer technical specifications;
    (6) the precise time the non-uniform printer configuration settings were found to be the root cause of the problem; and
    (7) the method used to update or reconfigure the printer configuration settings at each voting location(specifically, if technicians were sent to the voting location, when were they deployed in the field and when did they make the changes at each voting location; alternatively, if the network administrator was able to make universal changes, please detail when and how the printer configuration settings were corrected).

U.S. District Judge John Tuchi said in his decision that Lake made “false, misleading and unsupported factual assertions” in her initial lawsuit claiming “unauthorized persons” manipulated voting machines during Arizona’s gubernatorial election.

Tuchi cites insufficient evidence supporting any of Lake’s claims, adding the plaintiffs—members of Lake’s election staff in addition to Lake herself—”have voted on paper ballots, contradicting allegations and representations” of statements made by Lake.
