The current illegitimate Governor Katie Hobbs of Arizona is still under a felony investigation from when she shut down the candidate petition portal.
If you are going to cheat, you should start early and she did., So far, she is safe because Kris Mayes is the Attorney General, but if that election is overturned as well it might, she will be facing Abe Hamadeh, in which case you may see a lot of election investigations.,
It is a quid pro quo between Hobbs and Mayes., Hobbs has been delaying the recount results, preserving Mayes’ victory, at least temporarily and Mayes will never prosecute Hobbs, but if the AG race is overturned, all bets are off.
The reason that shutting down the candidate petition portal is such a big deal is that some of the candidates were counting on people signing their petitions in order to be in the running in the primaries., Otherwise, they have to hire people to hit the streets for signatures.
Arizona Daily Independent reported,
An official investigation into whether Katie Hobbs violated the law while serving as Arizona Secretary of State is still active, and therefore any records related to the matter are being withheld from the public, according to the Arizona Attorney General’s Office (AGO).

The email was in response to a status request from Arizona Daily Independent about an investigation initiated shortly after Hobbs, in her role as Secretary of State (SOS), restricted public access to E-Qual in mid-March 2022.
E-Qual is an online system maintained under state law by the SOS to provide qualified electors the ability to sign a nomination petition for certain candidates. There was still more than two weeks left in the nominating period when Hobbs took the system offline due to purported programming problems.
The April 19 disclosure by Attorney General Kris Mayes’ office that the E-Qual investigation put into motion by her predecessor, Mark Brnovich, remains active more than one year later is raising eyebrows.
Any prosecution of a public officer upon whom a duty is imposed by Arizona Revised Statutes, Title 16 (Elections and Electors) “who knowingly fails or refuses to perform that duty in the manner prescribed by law or knowingly acts in violation of any provision of such law” is only guilty of a class 6 felony or a class 3 misdemeanor, making it puzzling that no decision has yet been made.
Brnovich delegated his authority to Cochise County Attorney Brian McIntyre on March 29, 2022, tasking him with taking “any appropriate enforcement actions (civil and criminal)” regarding the SOS’s actions related to restricting E-Qual access.
Mayes’ office did promise in its status update to keep the records request open and to “provide any public records as they become available to the public.” But the refusal to release any investigation documents leaves the public with more questions than answers.
Abe Hamadeh will be in court on May 16th to have his case heard and to request the inspection of ballots that were disqualified to see if they were thrown out to aid Mayes who won by only 280 votes allegedly. The results of that court case could decide if Hobbs is prosecuted for her crimes.
