Enforcement of Arizona Senate's Maricopa subpoena 'unlikely' with reported GOP holdout

Enforcement of Arizona Senate's Maricopa subpoena 'unlikely' with reported GOP holdout
The enforcement of the Arizona Senate's second subpoena of election materials from the state's Maricopa County depends upon achieving a majority vote in the chamber that one Republican senator says is "unlikely" due to a reported GOP holdout.
State Senate Republicans this week issued a fresh subpoena to the county, demanding a fresh wave of documents related to the 2020 election there as an ongoing forensic audit of results approaches a conclusion.
Key among the requested materials from the second subpoena are routers used by Maricopa County to handle data processing from multiple county departments, including some related to elections. Those routers have been at the center of a months-long battle between Maricopa officials and Senate-commissioned auditors. The county has insisted that the security risks of handing the routers over is too high, while auditors have argued that it is "critically important" to obtain them to ensure a thorough audit.
Whether or not the county will comply with the second subpoena is unclear. Also unclear is whether or not the state Senate will enforce the subpoena.
State Sen. Kelly Townsend says the enforcement of the order depends upon a unified GOP vote in the chamber, which she claimed is presently just out of reach.
"The only way we are allowed to enforce the subpoena is to be in session and take a vote as the entire Senate body who holds the Board of Supervisors in contempt, and we need a majority of 16 to pass," she told Just the News on Tuesday. "We only have 15 votes, so it's unlikely we will be able to enforce this subpoena, either."
"The dissenting vote is Sen. Paul Boyer," she added.
Boyer did not respond to requests for comment from Just the News. Earlier this year he was the lone Republican in the state Senate to vote against holding the Maricopa Board of Supervisors in contempt.

Sen. Paul Boyer sharply criticized the increasingly beleaguered election audit, becoming the first member of the Senate’s Republican caucus to publicly raise objections. “It makes us look like idiots,” Boyer told the New York Times. “Looking back, I didn’t think it would be this ridiculous. It’s embarrassing to be a state senator at this point.”

C'mon, Arizona. If the GOPe doesn't want to support the voters, take 'em out.

I for one am shocked to see that the “GOP” guy with gaymouth and a bow tie is against it.

A cuck is a weak, effeminate, unmanly, or inadequate man,
who is often dominated by their female partner. It is considered derogatory slang.

Looks like a Beta by that bowtie's appearance.

Deep State is winning with a million through the southern border in June- in case no one has noticed.
By all means let's post pics that he is a cuck as we lose again. That will make it better...

The scraggly beard and gaping mouth always give it away.

It is people like him that will drag arse all election reforms to the point that when 2022 and 2024 get here, it will be too late and the Dems have already done working on another plan to cheat again. Once again the rinos LOSE it for the Republicans and the Dems retain power.

This is a guy who doesn’t want to uncover election irregularities. He wants to take the blue pill and go back to sleep.
