The widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election as alleged by Trump and his supporters was never proven. Election officials in three other states -- North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada -- reported similar incidents. In 16 North Carolina counties alone, officials noted unusually aggressive observers during May's primary elections, according to a state election board survey. When told to stop, they said they were following guidance from a Republican Party lawyer, said Henderson County Election Director Karen Hebb. As head of the Election Integrity Network, Mitchell is training election observers and is trying to build grassroots networks of conservatives ahead of the midterms.

Oct 7 (Reuters) - An appeals court on Friday temporarily blocked Arizona from enforcing a 1901 ban on nearly all abortions in the state, overruling a trial court's decision last month to let the ban proceed. The Arizona Court of Appeals granted Planned Parenthood's request for an emergency stay of Pima County Superior Court's ruling on Sept. 23 that lifted an injunction on the ban. The appeals court said the abortion-rights advocacy group "demonstrated a substantial likelihood of success" in its challenge of that decision. Planned Parenthood said in a statement the decision by the appeals court "brings temporary respite to Arizonans" and would allow the group to resume abortion care services while the legal proceedings continue. Democrats are increasingly hopeful the Supreme Court decision will boost voter support in November's midterm elections, with the party's control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate at stake.

An Arizona judge on Friday ruled in favor of a 1901 law that would ban nearly all abortions in the state. The only exemption to the abortion ban is if the mother's life is in danger. The law banning abortion was created more than a decade before Arizona became a state in 1912. The decision came one day before a new law banning abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy was set to take effect in the state. In March, the governor wrote a letter: "In Arizona, we know there is immeasurable value in every life – including preborn life.

Pima County Superior Court Judge Kellie Johnson granted a request by the state's Republican attorney general to lift a court injunction that had barred enforcement of Arizona's pre-statehood ban on abortion after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade in 1973. The Supreme Court in June overturned the right to abortion it had recognized in the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling. Democrats have been eager to cast Republicans as extreme on the abortion issue since the U.S. Supreme Court in June overturned Roe v. Wade and many states began enforcing abortion bans. Democrats are increasingly hopeful the Supreme Court decision will boost voter support in the midterm elections, with its control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate at stake.

REUTERS/Caitlin O’Hara REFILE -WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Friday's ruling allowing Arizona to enforce a ban on nearly all abortions, if allowed to stand, will result in "catastrophic, dangerous, and unacceptable" consequences for women, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Saturday. "Yesterday’s ruling in Arizona is dangerous and will set Arizona women back more than a century – to a time before Arizona was even a state," Jean-Pierre said in a statement. The Arizona ruling by Pima County Superior Court Judge Kellie Johnson granted a request by the state's Republican attorney general to lift a court injunction that had barred enforcement of Arizona's pre-statehood ban on abortion after the Supreme Court decision. Johnson's ruling bans all abortions in Arizona except when the procedure is necessary to save the mother's life.

Demonstrators in favor of abortion rights at the Arizona Capitol in Phoenix in June, after the decision overturning Roe v. Wade. An Arizona state court judge lifted a 50-year-old block on a 19th-century law banning nearly all abortions in the state Friday, ending three months of confusion about the legality of the procedure in the state. Pima County Superior Court Judge Kellie Johnson said in her ruling that a previous decision blocking enforcement of the state’s pre-Roe v. Wade ban must now be vacated since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe, the 1973 decision that created a federal constitutional right to an abortion. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich , a Republican who filed a motion in mid-July asking a court to lift the injunction on the law, shared a copy of the judge’s decision.

Arizona can enforce a near-total ban on abortions that has been blocked for nearly 50 years, a judge ruled Friday, meaning clinics across the state will have to stop providing the procedures to avoid the filing of criminal charges against doctors and other medical workers. An injunction has long blocked enforcement of a law, on the books since before Arizona became a state, that bans nearly all abortions. The ruling also means people seeking abortions will have to go to another state to obtain one. In another state, Wisconsin, clinics have stopped providing abortions amid litigation over whether an 1849 ban is in effect. Georgia bans abortions once fetal cardiac activity and be detected and Florida and Utah have bans that kick in after 15 and 18 weeks gestation, respectively.

Country singer Luke Bell died as a result of an accidental fentanyl overdose, according to a report issued Monday from the Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office. The “Where Ya Been?” singer was found dead by a passerby in a shaded area of a parking lot in Tucson, Arizona, on Aug. 26, according to officials. "In consideration of the known circumstances surrounding this death, the available medical history, and the examination of the remains, the cause of death is ascribed to fentanyl intoxication," the medical examiner's report said. The investigation into Bell’s death is ongoing, according to the Tucson Police Department. Bell, a Cody, Wyoming, native, had been a ranch hand and spent “a few years of college” in Laramie before pursuing his musical career, according to a Spotify bio.
