Attempted to Overturn Election Results

Thirteen Arizona state legislators supported overturning results of the 2020 Presidential election.

On December 10, 2020, an amicus brief signed by 13 Arizona state legislators was filed in the Supreme Court of the United States supporting overturning the election results.
When that didn’t work, the Arizona Senate tried, but failed, to hold the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors in contempt for refusing to comply with a subpoena for their voting machines so they could conduct an audit, even though no fraud was detected.

In 2022, legislators tried to grant themselves power to overturn election results.

In February of 2022, 14 legislators sponsored a bill that would have given the state legislature the right to overturn a certified election, including the following provisions:
- Require that ballots for all future elections be counted by hand;
- Mandate that votes· be cast only on Election Day;
- Repeal laws allowing anyone to get an early ballot without a specific reason; and
- Restrict people to voting only in their home precinct.

In April 2024, two state legislators were among the 11 fake electors indicted with attempting to overturn the 2020 Presidential election results.
