Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich took sides with Republican legislators regarding a request for access to election materials in Maricopa County, according to the Washington Examiner.

“Our filing today in the subpoena dispute between the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors and the legislature details why the Arizona Legislature has constitutional authority to investigate the County’s administration of elections,” Brnovich tweeted.

“The County incorrectly takes a narrow view of the legislative subpoena power,” the amicus brief says.

“The legislative power to issue subpoenas is inherent in the power to legislate. … Consequently, the legislative subpoena power is ‘broad’ and ‘encompasses inquiries concerning the administration of existing laws as well as proposed or possibly needed statutes.'”

Maricopa County Superior Court judge dismissed the Arizona state Senate’s request to review voting machines and election records.

President Trump supports continue to pursue legal avenues in their unlikely bid to upend the results.
