A Georgia elections official slammed an audit of ballots cast during the 2020 elections in Maricopa County, Ariz., as “neither transparent, nor likely, legal.”
The audit of Maricopa County — the largest county in Arizona — comes as Republicans lawmakers in the state seek to back former President Trump’s claims that the 2020 election was tainted by voter fraud.
Trump and his allies' claims have largely been disputed.
Elections officials at both the state and federal levels — including former Attorney General Bill Barr — have said that the 2020 election was not subject to widespread voter fraud.
Gabriel Sterling, a top elections official in Georgia, decried the audit as an attempt to "undermine confidence in elections.”
“This ‘audit’ in Arizona is another step in undermining confidence in elections. This process is neither transparent nor, likely, legal,” Sterling said on Twitter.
"Any 'findings' will be highly suspect now that chain of custody has been violated by partisan actors,” he tweeted.
