U.S. Rep. Abe Hamadeh, R-Arizona, is standing by his call for investigation into Runbeck Election Services and Maricopa County.
In a letter sent June 17 to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, Hamadeh asked the U.S. Department of Justice to look into Runbeck’s managing of ballots from several western states in the 2024 election.
Hamadeh claimed there are “credible reports” that boxes of printed blank ballots from several western states were improperly mixed in a warehouse with returned voted mail ballots that were in the process of being prepared for tabulation.
“This alarming situation raises serious questions about the security and integrity of the election process in Maricopa County and potentially beyond,” wrote Hamadeh. “The comingling of blank ballots with live ballots poses a significant risk to the accuracy and fairness of election results.”
Maricopa County is Arizona's most populous county and home to its capital, Phoenix.
Hamadeh told The Center Square that it is the proper role of Congress to conduct oversight of federal elections.
