06-25-2021 REPUBLICAN BRIEFS
LD5 Sen Majority Whip Sonny Borrelli sent out a reminder yesterday, noting, “The Legislature’s investigative authority does not end at Adjourn, Sine Die. Case in point, on December 14, 2020. The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing concerning Election Integrity (the Legislature was not in session). Resulting in a Subpoena being issued and served on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. That significant action started the Senate Audit of the Maricopa County Election Department 2020 Election. When the full forensic Audit is completed, the findings and results will be presented to the Senate Judiciary Committee (whether we are in the Legislative session or not). At that time, the Senate will proceed to determine which actions need to be addressed. Keep in mind, from the beginning that the audit has been under constant attack, by the vast leftwing media and the democrat party, to discredit the audit and process. We are anticipating a barrage of continued litigation to block the Senate from obtaining essential data and documents that will hinder the results of the audit. More to the point of Sine Die. ALL the Legislation such as: 2nd Amendment protections, Election Integrity, Education, Economic Development Bills etc. that has been passed and signed into law DOES NOT become effective until 90 after the Legislature Officially adjourns, Sine Die.Rest assured, the Arizona Senate will take all necessary steps to ensure elections in Arizona are protected, to include the 2020 and 2022.
