How Audit Supporters Are Shaping The Future Of The Republican Party

The Arizona Senate’s partisan election review of the 2020 presidential election did not turn up any evidence of widespread fraud when contractors released their report Sept. 24. So while it may signal the dwindling days of the so-called audit, the politics surrounding it are only gaining traction.

Some Maricopa County supervisors are now calling on Arizona Republican Party chairwoman Kelli Ward to step down. She and several other prominent audit supporters are still trying to take a victory lap using questions raised by Cyber Ninjas as evidence that there was, in fact, fraud in the 2020 election. There was not.

To discuss what this means for the current and future political landscape, The Show spoke with Hank Stephenson, the co-founder of Arizona Agenda, a political newsletter on Substack.
