Rachel Leingang: ‘We will prosecute death threats’: Arizona’s new attorney general fights to protect election workers. As the state’s top prosecutor, Democrat Kris Mayes has the power to investigate voting crimes and bring charges against those who break election laws

"In less than two months on the job, Arizona’s Democratic attorney general, Kris Mayes, reassigned a unit tasked with investigating election fraud to instead focus on protecting voting rights. She then publicly took former attorney general Mark Brnovich, a Republican, to task for hiding documents that showed the 2020 election was free from widespread fraud."

Mark Brnovich you are to blame,
For burying a report in shame.
Kris Mayes then appeared
To clear away the fear,
The truth should never have been restrained.

Arizona attorney general: Pre-1901 abortion ban enforceable

Arizona’s Republican attorney general says that a pre-statehood law that bans all abortions is enforceable

His decision puts him at odds with Republican Gov. Doug Ducey. The governor had said after he signed a new law banning abortions after 15 weeks in March that it took precedence over the law in place since at least 1901, 11 years before #Arizona statehood.
