Arizona secretary of state assigned protection following death threats amid election audit
CNN
Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs is receiving protection from the Arizona Department of Public Safety after fielding multiple death threats amid the election audit in Maricopa County.
Hobbs has been a vocal opponent of the audit, which was demanded by Republican state senators and is being overseen by a purveyor of election conspiracies. The audit kicked off last month even though county election officials had conducted two previous audits and found no evidence of widespread fraud or other issues. "The death threats are pouring in," Hobbs' press secretary, C. Murphy Hebert, told CNN. Hobbs' office had made the request for a security detail to Gov. Doug Ducey's office on Thursday afternoon.More Related News
