Readers following this story have been aware that Maricopa County Democrats have been violating the law and court orders to prevent a complete vote audit. 

The Arizona Legislature has won the as the Democrat’s have relented. It seems that the legislature exercised its power of the purse and threatened to cut off state funding from the county. If there was nothing to hide, why break the law and disobey court orders?

The Founders intended the power of the purpose to be the enforcement power of Congress and the state legislatures. Someone should tell Republicans in Congress this. The next time the IRS/FBI etc refuses a lawful subpoena from Congress, defund the agency.
