Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a vocal opponent of electoral conspiracy theorists, has declared that former Attorney General Mark Brnovich's handling of his team's election research was sufficient grounds for revoking his lawyer's license. The Arizona State Bar Association has confirmed that two complaints have been filed against Brnovich regarding reports that he withheld records that disproved allegations of voter fraud. If you believe that you have witnessed or been a victim of election fraud in Scottsdale, Arizona, you can file a complaint with the Attorney General's Office.
