A supporter of Donald Trump arrives by bus ahead of a protest against the election of President Joe Biden, in Phoenix, Arizona, U.S. January 17, 2021.Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden in Arizona's most populous county, a review of results by his allies in the Republican Party has reaffirmed, capping a widely panned effort spurred by Trump's false claims of voter fraud.
Fann said in a statement the matching counts was the review's"most important and encouraging finding" and should allay voters' concerns. The recount yielded 99 additional votes for Biden and 261 fewer votes for Trump. Outside groups tied to Trump's efforts to undermine the 2020 election results raised most of the $6 million to fund the review, viewing the recount of 2.1 million ballots in Maricopa as a catalyst for similar investigations in Pennsylvania, Michigan and other battleground states that Trump lost.
"This was Donald Trump's best chance to prove his cases of elections being rigged and fraudulent and they failed," Ben Ginsberg, a veteran Republican election lawyer, said on a media call organized by the States United Democracy Center, a nonpartisan policy group."It's a huge defeat for Donald Trump."
