Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs is receiving protection after fielding multiple death threats amid the election audit in Maricopa County
Hobbs has been a vocal opponent of the audit, which was demanded by Republican state senators and is being overseen by a purveyor of election conspiracies. The audit kicked off last month even though county election officials had conducted two previous audits and found no evidence of widespread fraud or other issues. "The death threats are pouring in," Hobbs' press secretary, C. Murphy Hebert, told CNN. Hobbs' office had made the request for a security detail to Gov.
Earlier that same day, the secretary's office had received a"very specific death threat asking about what she was wearing that day so she could be identified easily," Hebert told CNN.Read More"Let me be very clear: I will never be intimidated out of telling the truth, defending our elections, and serving the people of Arizona," Hobbs tweeted Friday.
