Government talking point

Despite multiple audits and court rulings affirming Arizona’s 2020 results, Republican accounts circulate an unsubstantiated claim that a hacker stole 633,000 voter files just before Election Day. The story is used to cast doubt on past and future elections, undermining public confidence.
