PHOENIX – Attorney General Kris Mayes today issued the following statement after the Mohave County Board of Supervisors vote today:
I am greatly relieved and commend the Mohave County Board of Supervisors for their decision not to authorize a hand count of all ballots for the 2024 election, upholding Arizona law. As Attorney General, it is my duty to enforce our laws and ensure the integrity of our elections. The Board’s decision to adhere to state-mandated procedures for ballot counting avoids potential legal complications and reinforces public trust in the integrity of our elections.
Over the weekend, Attorney General Mayes sent a letter to the Board on this matter and it is linked below.
