Maricopa County, Arizona, has frequently been the target of complaints that election irregularities are common there, especially during the 2020 and 2024 elections. Now, a new report says that the FBI has secretly obtained gigabytes of electronic election data from the Grand Canyon state after a grand jury issued a subpoena for the records.
The FBI is expanding its criminal probe into suspected election irregularities, secretly obtaining a large tranche of voting records from Arizona’s largest county with a recent grand jury subpoena, multiple people familiar with the probe told Just the News.
The sources, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because of the secrecy of the grand jury probe, said FBI agents are receiving gigabytes of electronic election data from Maricopa County, about a month after the bureau first disclosed an investigation into election irregularities by raiding a warehouse near Atlanta and seizing ballots from the 2020 election conducted in Fulton County, Georgia’s largest metropolis.
Republican Kari Lake, who ran unsuccessful campaigns for governor in 2022 and Senate in 2024 and is now serving as Senior Adviser at the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), has long contended that the state is rife with election fraud. She’s more than happy to hear about the investigation:
A federal grand jury is now active and has subpoenaed Maricopa County's election records, including from the 2024 cycle, to probe longstanding issues in State 48.

So many of us have raised the alarm for years. The news of this subpoena gives me great hope that something will…
The news of this subpoena gives me great hope that something will finally be done.

Maricopa has been under the microscope for a long time, but nothing ever seems to be done about it. Hopefully, this new revelation is a sign that things are changing:
The subpoena comes five years after the GOP-led Arizona state Senate conducted a lengthy investigation into the 2020 election and concluded there were significant irregularities.
More recently, the bureau was alerted to a report filed by Republican and Democrat election observers who believed they observed irregularities in November 2024 at a warehouse in Arizona where blank and filled-out absentee ballots were observed in the same location, according to the sources.
President Donald Trump is also pleased to see action finally being taken. He had one word to say about it: “Great!”
Voting irregularities are meaningless — that's what the Democrats are always telling us, anyway.

Meanwhile, data/political analyst Garrett Archer of ABC15 Arizona (KNXV‑TV) said we can expect lots of resistance from election officials in the state:
I was told by @AZSecretary this morning his office will fight any attempt by the feds to seize voter registration records, even if @azjustinheap decides to comply.

In the above tweet, @AZSecretary is Secretary of State Adrian Fontes (D), while @azjustinheap refers to Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap (R).
Maricopa County has been somewhat synonymous with election “irregularities” for years now. Let’s hope we finally get some answers and some consequences.
