HSI Opens Investigation Into Arizona’s 2020 Election Results

The move puts DHS’s investigative arm in an atypical election role, drawing skepticism from Arizona’s top prosecutor.

Mayes and Fontes, both Democrats, this week implored local officials not to give full voter rolls to federal agencies as they probe the state's 2020 election.

Overview

  • ABC News confirmed the probe through Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes and a separate source familiar with the matter.
  • Mayes called the inquiry an "unserious investigation," noting a prior state review under former AG Mark Brnovich found no evidence of widespread fraud after roughly 10,000 hours of work.
  • DHS declined to discuss active cases but said HSI is actively pursuing election-fraud allegations and aims to ensure only citizens vote.
  • It remains unclear whether the probe relates to a Trump administration subpoena for Maricopa County’s 2020 records, which Senate President Warren Petersen confirmed while county election offices reported receiving none.
  • The Atlantic first reported the HSI action, which unfolds alongside the FBI’s January seizure of 2020 voting records in Georgia’s Fulton County that local officials are challenging in court.
