Hamadeh Wants Elections Investigated
Representative Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ) wrote to Attorney General Pam Bondi demanding an investigation into Runbeck Election Services for potential breaches of protocol.
As Rep. Hamadeh described, Runbeck supposedly mixed blank printed ballots with returned voted mail ballots being prepped for tabulation from several western states.
"This alarming situation raises serious questions about the security and integrity of the election process in Maricopa County and potentially beyond," Rep. Hamadeh said in the letter, adding, "The comingling of blank ballots with live ballots poses a significant risk to the accuracy and fairness of election results. It is crucial that we have confidence in the integrity of our elections, and any potential mishandling of ballots must be investigated to ensure that the will of the voters is accurately reflected."
