Maricopa County Board of Supervisors rejects subpoenas issued by Arizona State Senate in scathing letter

The Chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has issued his response to a new round of subpoenas issued by Republicans in the Arizona State Senate in connection with a controversial audit into the 2020 election.
The subpoenas, issued on July 26, came days after Trump
spoke to thousands of supporters in downtown Phoenix, using the Senate’s review to make a number of
debunked claims to bolster his false narrative that President
Joe Biden’s victory was illegitimate.
The latest subpoena demands that the county turn over the envelopes from all mail-in ballots or images of them, network routers and traffic logs, detailed voter registration records with change histories, and records related security breaches of election systems.
Arizona State Senate President Karen Fann and Judiciary Committee Chairman Warren Petersen are also demanding that Dominion give their contractors administrator-level access to all tabulators used in Maricopa County.
The auditors have
fought for months to get ahold of security tokens needed to access internal configurations of precinct-based tabulators. Dominion has refused to provide that access, saying it will only cooperate with companies certified by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission.
"Releasing Dominion’s intellectual property to an unaccredited, biased, and plainly unreliable actor such as Cyber Ninjas would be reckless, causing irreparable damage to the commercial interests of the company and the election security interests of the country," said a statement from the company issued in May. "No company should be compelled to participate in such an irresponsible act."
Dominion did cooperate with two accredited firms hired by the county earlier this year, both of which found no problems with the election.
Board of Supervisors Chairman rejects subpoenas in scathing letter
The subpoenas were rejected by Board of Supervisors Chairman Jack Sellers,
in a letter dated Aug. 2.
"The Board has real work to do and little time to entertain this adventure in never-never land," read a portion of the letter.
Sellers wrote, in the letter, that if the State Senate has not figured out that the election in Maricopa County was free, fair, and accurate, he is not sure if they ever will, and that the audit is not finished because the Senate hired "people who have no experience and little understanding of how professional elections are run."
"There was no fraud, there wasn't an injection of ballots from Asia, nor was there a satellite that beamed votes into our election equipment," read a portion of the letter.
The letter ended with a call by Sellers on the Senators to release their report, and "be prepared to defend any accusations of misdeeds in court."
