County officials did not show up at 1 p.m. Monday in response to a subpoena signed by Senate President Karen Fann. Instead, board Chairman Jack Sellers sent a letter to Fann and the other senators blasting the “audit” of the 2020 election — the quote marks are his — and telling them to get on with it.

“The board has real work to do and little time to entertain this adventure in never-never land,” he wrote, saying that the 2020 election was run as required by state and federal law.

“There was no fraud, there wasn’t an injection of ballots from Asia nor was there a satellite that beamed votes into our election equipment,” said Sellers, a Republican. “It’s time for all elected officials to tell the truth and stop encouraging conspiracies.”

The Senate had no better luck with a separate subpoena — and a 1 p.m. Monday demand — of Dominion Voting Systems for various passwords, tokens and other ways to get into the programming of the equipment it leased to the county for the election.

John Poulos, the company’s president and CEO, responded to a separate public records request the Senate made of the company. He said the company is not a public officer or body “and therefore has no obligation to make its records available for public inspection.”

There was no immediate response from Fann about the Senate’s next move.

A contempt citation is unlikely given that at least two of the 16 Senate Republicans have said they are done with the whole audit issue. And with Democrats opposed, that leaves Fann, R-Prescott, without the votes.

But it does not preclude the Senate seeking a court order as it did after the supervisors balked at the first subpoena in January.
