So, the people who claimed election fraud in AZ were lying, and knew it.

Many of the people who are claiming fraud in the 2020 election know it isn't true, but they are claiming it is to appease the voters who want to believe they were "robbed". It's interesting how officials are happy to say fraud exists up to the moment that they are on the official record and would be held criminally liable if they make a statement they know is false, then they suddenly do not want to talk about it or make any further comments.

There's a reason that every single official that Trump appointed who has ever looked into the fraud claims has under oath sworn that the election was valid. The only people working for Trump who are willing to claim that fraud altered the election are people who would not be at risk of going to prison if their comments turn out to be false.

Coincidence?
