The grassroots organization We the People AZ Alliance (WPAA) presented a video review last week of election improprieties in the 2022 election, stating that it believes these improprieties contributed to Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes’ victory over Republican Abe Hamadeh by 280 votes.
Shelby Busch, who leads WPAA, and WPAA’s attorney Bryan Blehm, who represented Kari Lake in her election challenges, said they believe thousands of votes were not counted for Hamadeh, including 9,000 that have been destroyed.
Blehm said, “I think 2022 was, you know, sort of the way to cover up for 2020 because Kris Mayes is absolutely never going to investigate what happened in Arizona in 2020.” He said by the time the Department of Justice investigates, the evidence will all be gone.
The group discussed 9,000 provisional ballots that were destroyed from the 2022 election, which AZ Free News reported earlier in June. Since federal law only requires saving ballots for 22 months (state law requires six months), the ballots have all been destroyed.
Busch said there was “disenfranchisement” in the 2022 election due to many voters being told they could only vote provisional ballots, which were never counted.
