TUCSON— Today, Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva issued the following statement concerning ongoing transparency issues with the current audit of the 2020 election ordered by the Republican-controlled Arizona Senate:

“This unnecessary and wasteful audit is a pathetic attempt by the Arizona State Senate to confirm what we already know. The facts are unimpeachable: Arizonans elected Joe Biden as President of the United States. Multiple audits and a hand recount confirmed this, and no amount of money or shady firm run by a partisan hack will change it. It’s time that Arizona Republicans stop bowing down to the conspiracy theories emanating from Mar-A-Lago and accept the decision that Arizonans made six months ago.”
