AZ Republican wants probe into North Carolina voter (R) seeking Queen Creek Legislature seat

A GOP state lawmaker wants an investigation into a Republican legislative candidate whose voting record hopscotched between two states and registration in both states has raised questions of voting fraud.

Rep. David Cook, R-Globe, outlined three potential legal violations by candidate Michael Way in a Sept. 2 letter to Attorney General Kris Mayes.

Cook's request comes as a judge weighs a legal challenge to Way's eligibility to serve as a state representative in Legislative District 15. The head of the Freedom Caucus in the North Carolina House of Representatives has also requested an investigation in that state.

North Carolina Rep. Keith Kidwell is questioning how Way could have legally voted in North Carolina's 2022 general election when he attested in his candidate filing in Arizona that he has been an Arizona citizen for six years and a resident of LD15 in the southeast Valley for five years.
