In a letter on Monday, Maricopa Board Chairman Jack Sellers claimed the 2020 election was \u201cover\u201d and asserted it was \u201cfree\u201d and \u201cfair.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sellers failed to address the Senate\u2019s requests to turn in routers and voting machines for forensic examination. He also threatened legal action in case the audit revealed any fraud or wrongdoing by Maricopa officials.<\/p>\n<p>Arizona GOP chair Kelly Ward said Sellers\u2019s response was unacceptable and vowed he would be held to account for such blatant defiance of legal subpoenas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll passwords, access keys and tokens required to examine the tabulating machines be turned over to the Arizona state Senate by August 2,\u201d she explained. \u201cMaricopa County said they don\u2019t have access to those tokens, they don\u2019t have those passwords. Only their election vendor does.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">America&#8217;s Audit Team completed the machine count of the ballots.
