WASHINGTON—Today, the House Oversight Committee announced a new investigation into the Arizona election ‘audit’ conducted by private firm Cyber Ninjas and funded by the Arizona Senate. In response, Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva issued the following statement:

“I applaud the House Oversight Committee for beginning this investigation into the shady actions concerning this so-called ‘audit’ and the company wholly unqualified to conduct it. Since its inception, the process has been mired in secrecy and seems more concerned with substantiating baseless conspiracy theories than adhering to any semblance of reality.

“The facts are clear, Joe Biden won Arizona’s Electoral College votes, and no sham process will change that. The House Oversight Committee will confirm this ‘audit’ for what it is: a shameful attempt by Arizona Republicans to overturn the votes of Arizona citizens and undermine faith in our elections.”
