AG ​Mayes today issued the following statement in response to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference remarks delivered earlier today, February 13, 2026:

"Arizona’s elections are safe and secure. The election deniers now staffing the Trump administration have spent the past six years lying to the American people in a deliberate effort to destroy trust in our election system. Multiple investigations, independent audits, and courts across this country have all reached the same conclusion: voter fraud is exceedingly rare and has not played a meaningful role in the outcome of an election." – AG Mayes
