Arizona's GOP AG says people voted Republican, but not for Trump

[BeyondGeography]

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich (R) defended the state’s election process on Wednesday against accusations of voter fraud and irregularities from the Trump campaign.

Appearing on Fox News, Brnovich was asked by host Neil Cavuto about recent disputes over voting currently being argued in Arizona, including one in which a Trump campaign attorney claimed to have evidence that votes in Maricopa County had been “incorrectly rejected” and requested that the evidence be sealed.

... Brnovich dismissed the lawsuit as inconsequential saying, "We are literally talking about less than 200 votes that are in question and doubt. So the reality is, even if it was possible that those votes flipped, those 200 votes, I do not think it will make a difference in Arizona just because of the numbers."

... Brnovich ended his interview by making the observation that if there was indeed a conspiracy, it failed in securing other elected seats for the Democratic Party.

"The county election official who was Democrat lost and other Republicans won. What really happened, it came down to people split their ticket. People vote for Republicans down ballot, but they didn't vote for President Trump."

14. True enough

With a lesser candidate for Senate, Biden would not have carried the state.

6. A while ago I mentioned the lack of trump signs in the forests of Republican down ticket signs...

around here. Maybe the campaign just ran out?

Nope. Republicans had one of their best years ever and wiped us out down ticket. Trump was the loser.

7. Not that I doubt it, but the fact that every one of those Rs

slavishly supported & enabled Trump, they should have rejected the down-ticket Rs as well.

10. Sad.. in canvassing for say president voters need to at least hear that we need your vote

For xyz down ballot races and why. Ppl don’t get it!

9. Sounds correct, ABT (anybody but Shitler), so realistically our Dem future is in new voters, not

thinking we can "convert" wingnuts.

[Thekaspervote]

11. Absolutely...and since the youth showed up and voted this time, we need to keep that ball rolling

[Cha]

12. Wonder why.. could it be John McCain?!

[Iris]

15. Same in GA

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. tRump said as much. That we'd maybe have a new president because many don't like him.

He claimed it was because of his personality. This is more personal with tRump then anything else.

17. We had a WHOLE LOT of ticket-splitting among GOP PAers here

They were mostly voting GOP down-ballot, and even cherry-picked 2 of 3 top state positions by flipping 2 (D) state positions (State Treasurer and State Auditor General) to (R), but returning the (D) State Attorney General , and rejecting their dear leader at the top of the ticket by voting for Biden.
