Former President Donald Trump says Maricopa County’s refusal to allow full transparency amid the 2020 presidential election audit makes him skeptical once again, suggesting that county election officials have something to hide.
“Why won’t the RINO Maricopa County Board of Supervisors in Arizona give the routers?” Trump asked.
“What are they trying to hide? They are fighting for life or death. What is going on?”
The latest request for information involves auditors requesting routers from the county for inspection.
Trump continued:
“Give the routers!”

The Republican-held Arizona Senate originally subpoenaed the internet routers from the county polling places, but the county rejected the request, claiming it would cost $6 million to replace them. A similar claim led Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs to destroy voting machines that were inspected by auditors.
Officials skeptical of election fraud argued that Hobbs’ claim the voting machines could be compromised by auditors is evidence they are indeed vulnerable to tampering. The voting machines audited would not be used in future elections, Hobbs said, but Arizona Republicans noted they would have been subjected to the inspection and certification process in place in the state.
Auditors argue the routers are critical to finishing a complete report on election vulnerabilities, but Maricopa County election officials say the voting machines were not connected to the internet.
According to CEO Ben Cotton, the leading subcontractors executing the audit, said submitting the routers for inspection would not compromise security.
