The U.S. Department of Justice on May 5 raised concerns about the security of ballots and the potential for voter intimidation related to the ongoing 2020 election audit in Maricopa County, Arizona.
Pamela Karlan, principal deputy assistant attorney general with the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, cited news reports to inquire, in a letter (pdf) to Arizona Senate President Karen Fann, about the custody of the ballots currently under review by a group of private contractors. Karlan also complained that a portion of the audit work that involves canvassing addresses on the ballots may amount to “voter intimidation.”
