Republican lawmakers in Arizona are urging an investigation into Pima County recorder Gabriella Cazares-Kelly for her actions during the 2024 General Election. The lawmakers, Representatives Teresa Martinez and Rachel Jones, have raised concerns about potential misconduct by Cazares-Kelly, a progressive Democrat who has held office since 2021.
Martinez and Jones allege that the Pima County Recorder’s Office closed its online ballot request system six days before the legal deadline, affecting nearly 4,000 voters. This decision has sparked worries about compliance with Arizona election laws and possible voter disenfranchisement in the county, which is the state's second-most populous county after Maricopa County.
