Arizona court considers Santa Cruz County lawsuit against nonprofit that asked for election records

An Arizona court is deliberating on whether to give a nonprofit copies of election records the nonprofit requested from Santa Cruz County in 2022.

The nonprofit, AUDIT-USA, requested voting records, but instead of providing them, the county sued the nonprofit.

In its complaint, Santa Cruz County asked the court to clarify whether the requested records are in fact public.

AUDIT-USA Chair Ken Bennett — former secretary of state and state Senate president — said his group was initially told the county would send the nonprofit the records on Aug. 18, 2022, but the nonprofit was hit with the lawsuit that day instead.
