- 联邦调查局传票要求亚利桑那州参议院提供2020年选举审计记录
- 马里科帕县审计确认拜登获胜
- 执法部门和情报机构部署调查2020年选举相关指控
华盛顿，3月9日（路透社） – 亚利桑那州一名高级州议员周一表示，联邦调查局已获取与2020年该州选举相关的记录。随着联邦执法部门继续追查总统唐纳德·特朗普声称其在该次选举中失利是投票欺诈结果的虚假指控，调查范围正在扩大。
亚利桑那州参议院议长沃伦·彼得森在社交媒体帖子中表示，联邦调查局上周传票要求亚利桑那州参议院提供与该州人口最多的马里科帕县2020年选举结果相关的共和党主导审计材料。
“联邦调查局已掌握相关记录。”彼得森（共和党人）在帖子中写道。
尽管法院和审计机构多次驳回广泛存在选民欺诈的指控，但特朗普政府仍在部署美国执法和情报机构收集所谓选举违规证据，此次向亚利桑那州索要信息是最新一例。
目前尚不清楚联邦调查局正在调查哪些犯罪行为。联邦调查局发言人未立即回应置评请求。彼得森的发言人也拒绝详细说明其社交媒体帖子内容。
今年1月，联邦调查局搜查了佐治亚州一个县的选举中心并扣押了2020年选票，这是法院批准的搜查行动。富尔顿县已起诉要求归还这些材料，指控此次搜查违反美国宪法并依据不可信的指控展开。
2021年由特朗普在亚利桑那州的共和党盟友主导的马里科帕县审计，基本确认了2020年选举的初步结果，发现拜登的得票略高于特朗普。特朗普在马里科帕县的失利是他在全州以微弱差距输给拜登的关键因素。
审计过程中提出了多项选举违规指控，但该县官员对此强烈反驳。
“特朗普政府现在似乎在推进的并非合法的执法调查，”亚利桑那州总检察长克里斯·梅斯（民主党人）在一份声明中表示，”这是将联邦执法部门武器化，以服务于荒谬言论和谎言。”
特朗普公开表示联邦政府将在该国某些未指明地区接管选举，在此背景下，对佐治亚州和亚利桑那州这两个近年总统选举竞争激烈的州的调查正在进行。
特朗普已任命支持”停止偷窃”运动以推翻2020年选举结果的律师库尔特·奥尔森负责重新审查2020年投票情况。

- Summary
- FBI subpoenas Arizona Senate for 2020 election audit records
- Maricopa County audit affirmed Biden’s win
- Law enforcement, intelligence agencies deployed to chase 2020 claims
WASHINGTON, March 9 (Reuters) – The FBI has obtained records related to the 2020 election in Arizona, a top state lawmaker said on Monday, as federal law enforcement continues to pursue President Donald Trump’s false claims that his defeat in that campaign was the result of voting fraud.
The FBI subpoenaed the Arizona Senate last week for material connected to a Republican-led audit of the 2020 election results in Maricopa County, the most populous county in the state, Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen said in a social media post.

“The FBI has the records,” Petersen, a Republican, wrote in the post.
The demand for information from Arizona is the latest instance of the Trump administration deploying U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies to gather evidence of alleged irregularities in the 2020 election, despite courts and audits repeatedly rejecting claims of widespread voter fraud.
It was not immediately clear what crimes the FBI may be investigating. An FBI spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for Petersen declined to elaborate on his social media post.
The FBI in January seized 2020 ballots from a Georgia county elections center as part of a court-approved search of the facility. Fulton County has sued for the return of the material, alleging the search violated the U.S. Constitution and relied on discredited allegations.

The 2021 Maricopa County audit, which was run by Trump’s Republican allies in Arizona, largely affirmed the initial 2020 election results, finding slightly more votes for Trump’s Democratic opponent Joe Biden. Trump’s loss in Maricopa County was key to his narrow defeat to Biden statewide.
The audit made several claims of election irregularities, which county officials vigorously disputed.
“What the Trump administration appears to be pursuing now is not a legitimate law enforcement inquiry,” Arizona State Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, said in a statement. “It is the weaponization of federal law enforcement in service of crackpots and lies.”
The investigations into Georgia and Arizona, two states that have been hotly contested in recent presidential elections, come as Trump has spoken openly about the federal government taking control of elections in certain unspecified areas of the country.
Trump has put a lawyer, Kurt Olsen, who backed the “Stop the Steal” movement to overturn the 2020 election results, in charge of an effort to reexamine the 2020 vote.
