'My longstanding commitment to advancing real election integrity is what drives me,' Republican Arizona state Sen. Michelle Ugenti-Rita wrote in a letter to GOP Senate President Karen Fann on Friday.

State Sen. Michelle Ugenti-Rita was initially a supporter of the audit conducted by the firm Cyber Ninjas but had soured on the"botched" exercise by July, while accusing Republican state Senate President Karen Fann of a"total lack of competence.", informing Fann that she was stepping down from her role as leader of the Senate Government Committee.

Ugenti-Rita, currently a candidate for Arizona Secretary of State, did not indicate why she was leaving the leadership position. However, she did suggest that her commitment to"election integrity" was a motivating factor. Ugenti-Rita tweeted a screenshot of a purported email from a man who threatened her over not backing the Maricopa County audit on September 10. The man wrote that she had"one chance to give the American people the Audit report or were [sic] coming for you," warning that he knew where she lived, where she shopped for groceries and where her family lived.
