State Senate Majority Leader Sonny Borrelli and State Senator Wendy Rogers held a press conference on Wednesday revealing that a cybersecurity expert discovered that voting machine software used in Maricopa County's elections in 2020 and 2022 was compromised.
Borrelli said "There is probable cause" of a crime, and Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell has been notified.
Borrelli said, "A few days ago I received documentation and a sworn declaration by a cybersecurity expert that examined the data from the 2020 and 2022 elections, where it has been determined that the data and the equipment had been altered. The Election Assistance Commission never approved this altered software. In Maricopa County's previous representation that the election software is EAC certified, including to the Arizona Senate, [that was] false [testimony]."
Borrelli said it is also a problem in Pima County and Coconino County since "They all use the same system."
When reporters asked Borrelli whether he thought the elections were stolen, he responded, "This is not about Biden or Trump; it is not about Lake or Hobbs. To me, this is a national security issue, and I'm part of, period, national security. I spent 22 years in the Marine Corps and serving my country and my state for the last - I've been here 12 years. If I took a blind eye to something that I found, it's gonna be very suspicious. And I'll turn that over to law enforcement or do something about it. That's actually negligence and dereliction of duty, and that's it."
Arizona Corporation Commissioner Jim O'Connor and a team of election integrity activists began sounding the alarm at that time regarding the machines' lack of proper certification.
She said his initial August 30 letter to county officials around the state "Repeated erroneous and debunked conspiracies about voting machines and election security."
