While there were some brave attorneys and judges, the State Bar of Arizona and the Supreme Court of Arizona has not done its job in disciplining the unethical lawyers who filed frivolous and even lying lawsuits. Three years later little has been done but to dismiss over and over and worst of the abusers on the most flimsy excuses. Please contact the State Bar board of governors and the Supreme Court chief justice and let them know you are disappointed in their refusal to hold the unethical attorneys responsible.
David, I am so impressed with this article. Who knew? No one I read, and I read a lot has reported the extent of this affair. We so need this kind of investigative reporting. Hurrah and kudos to the Republic! They are heroes; the poor Arizona Daily Star is hatred by their ownership and their budget. By the way, for national news, I like Axios. It is concise to the point, and gives reasons for everything. Our democracy is at stake!
Your best work so far! I received a fund raising email from Kris Mayes's office recently, and I replied that they should quit bothering me until she either charged the fake electors or provided a convincing reason why she wasn't going to do so.
A fitting end to an almost unbelievable episode in Arizona and US history. Highly readable, funny and a classic “good guys” win this one, so far…tale of greed, avarice, chicanery, and stupidity by citizens who should know better. Their various diplomas, certificates and assorted licenses (including pet licenses) should be revoked, their former high schools closed until “reformed,” and any children they have, no matter what their age, put in charge of them forever.
Has any of the daily fines on Doug Logan been collected? If not, why not? The audit ordered by Fann cost taxpayers at least $5million that has been documented but likely much more. Meanwhile she is out of the lege at ALEC and making model legislation for the many too dumb AZ legislators to formulate their own. For a list of stupid bills being introduced go to CEBV.
Whew, that was a close one… Kudos to the brave and dedicated heroes of our Democracy (you included). Hopefully the MAGA criminal enterprise will be dismantled forever when its cult leader is finally awarded his orange jump suit. The truth ultimately prevails, sometimes it just takes a while…
Great series, Fitz. Infuriating that these clowns got away with so much but they are fed from Putin's playbook, top down. See if this strikes any chords of resonance of MAGA-think; just plug in GOP and Faux News:
“For almost 25 years, Putin has been consistently destroying the key institutions of the modern state: an independent parliament, an independent judiciary, federalism, local self-government, freedom of speech, fair elections, and real competition in the economy and politics. . . . State propaganda is turning Russians from creatures of reason to creatures of hate.”
Fitz what a state we call home Aka the state with zero legislative financial accountability Be it the 90’s souped up golf cart rebate ($800m) cyber ninjas pick a number then add embarrassment brain damage , now separation between church and state private school vouchers $900m( will exceed $1b) while our public schools are lowly ranked. I get it, just don’t want to accept it . He who has the gold makes the rules
Excellent and always enlightening. It makes me literally nauseated to read about all going in AZ legislature now…Kern? But the scarier thing for me is the people that vote for these whackadoodles!
Lamb, Whadsack, Kern, on and on. Not to leave out our R Reps in congress. It’s sad but curious WHY? Hate? Disillusionment? More Hate? Tough guys?

Good One! We can’t let this behavior become normalized.
Excellent, Fitz. Thanks!
I meant the poor Arizona Daily Star is hampered by its budget and its new ownership! Damn Siri!

Amen.
