Arizona Secretary of State Faces Death Threats as Trump Promotes Election Conspiracy Theories
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump continues to refuse to concede to Joe Biden and has
retreated from public view, with no public events on his calendar today
for the 12th day since the election. On Twitter, Trump continues to
promote baseless conspiracy theories about flipped votes and a stolen
election.

In Arizona, Secretary of State Katie Hobbs said her family has been
subjected to "ongoing and escalating threats of violence" since Biden's
victory. She said in a statement, "There are those, including the
president, members of Congress and other elected officials, who are
perpetuating misinformation and are encouraging others to distrust the
election results in a manner that violates the oath of office they took.
It is well past time that they stop. Their words and actions have
consequences."
