In this text article a 42-second video, AZ AG Brnovich (yes, the one who made it harder for people to vote) says that election deniers have no evidence.

"Brnovich, a lifelong Republican, supported Donald Trump in 2020 and investigated claims of election fraud in Arizona after [the 2020] election. He ultimately found just 12 cases—12 fraudulent ballots—cast in a state where Joe Biden won by 10,000 votes."
