A temporary election worker in Maricopa County, Arizona, was arrested for allegedly stealing a security key from a ballot tabulation center. This incident has raised concerns about the vetting process for election staff, as the suspect was previously arrested for theft from a grocery store and was in a felony diversion program. Authorities are investigating whether the theft was politically motivated.
A Maricopa County Superior Court judge has acquitted former prison Lieutenant Mark Hasz in an aggravated assault case, marking the second time the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office has failed to secure a conviction against him. Hasz, who had previously spoken out about concerns within the prison system, was fired and charged with aggravated assault following a use-of-force incident in July 2020. His defense team was reportedly barred from presenting evidence of his whistleblowing activities during the first trial, but the judge made no such ruling in this second trial.
