The Arizona Senate, which is controlled by Republicans, has issued another subpoena to Maricopa County officials requesting routers for an audit of the 2020 presidential election.

The move was confirmed on CNN when Bill Gates, a member of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, announced that the subpoena had been received.

“Right before I came on here, the board of supervisors received another subpoena from the state Senate ordering us to turn over the routers, in addition to some other information. And they threaten us in these papers that if we do not turn those over by Aug. 2 — so that’s next Monday — then we could be held in contempt,” he said.

The saga in Maricopa County, Arizona, is still unfolding with many sitting on the sidelines waiting for when further information will be provided to the public, as well as what said information will tell us about the contentious 2020 presidential election.

To date, the audit of the 2020 presidential election in Maricopa County has allegedly unearthed a host of suspicious behaviors that cannot continue unchallenged if we are to have fair, transparent and trusted elections moving forward.

This is an issue that despite what Maricopa officials and the media would tell you, is a bipartisan issue that needs to be addressed. Multiple polls have shown significant concerns from the American people about election integrity, including Democrats.

Still, the Maricopa officials have done everything they can to make the audit process extremely difficult on those who are taking part, from withholding blue tally sheets, withholding routers, passcodes, key fobs and other key pieces that would help paint the picture of what truly happened in Arizona.
