Phoenix’s ABC News affiliate reports:
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said Friday he’s prepared to “take all necessary actions” in response to the results of the Arizona Senate’s review of the last year’s election in Maricopa County. “I will take all necessary actions that are supported by the evidence and where I have legal authority,” Brnovich, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in 2022, said in a press release. “Arizonans deserve to have their votes accurately counted and protected.”

I’ve seen the usual, armed militia-types.

And of course, where there are Pro-Trump crowds – the merch people are never far away.

It’s a MAGA deplorables circus outside the AZ Capitol right now as they gear up for the big audit results. GOP Gov candidate Kari Lake attempts to give a speech, but is heckled and harassed because she won’t immediately stop her speech to sign a pledge. pic.twitter.com/eoewazJSn8

This is the watch party outside the AZ Senate building.
Senate President Karen Fann just said, “it’s true that the numbers in the [leaked] draft report were close to the [initial] Maricopa numbers.”
It is quiet as people listen intently. pic.twitter.com/7HNtFesstE
