HuffPost
Reported complaints of sexual harassment are only the most recent issues in a cascade of serious problems with the Arizona "fraudit."
Managers of the GOP partisan audit of the Arizona presidential vote ignored complaints about sexual harassment at the operation for weeks, a Phoenix TV station reports. Workers were forced to endure the harassment, even after submitting written complaints, according to CBS affiliate Channel 5, citing several accounts from the women. One insider provided seven other written statements submitted to managers from “victims and witnesses” disturbed by the harassment, Channel 5 reported. The complaints largely centered on one audit worker at the operation at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum examining 2.1 million votes in Maricopa County. The recount, which includes Phoenix, was launched months ago by state Senate Republicans and only examined races that Democrats won.
