Pro-Donald Trump lawyer Mike Davis of the Article III Project is going after Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, claiming, "You disenfranchised AZ voters and stole your election from Abraham Hamadeh."
Although the election was two years ago, Davis is still angry that the Democrat won by a 280-vote margin. Hamadeh is now headed to Congress after Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-AZ) announced her retirement.
Davis accused Mayes of "plotting to overturn the will of American voters" and unlawfully obstructing Trump’s immigration "mandate."

He linked this to an interview with The Guardian, in which Mayes said she would fight back against any policies that didn't comply with the law. It's a similar move that Republican attorneys general have done during President Joe Biden's administration.
Mayes specifically brought up the "dreamers," so-called because of the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act, known as the DREAM Act. Both parties support helping the DREAMers, and 68% of American voters support the bill, according to a survey by The Bullfinch Group. Still, the legislation doesn't have the 60-vote threshold to overcome a filibuster.
“I definitely will be fighting on behalf of dreamers,” Mayes said. “These folks are firefighters, police officers, teachers – they are part of the very fabric of our state and we will protect them.”
Davis threatened Mayes with "prison" with the odd citation, "8 U.S.C. § 132."
In a previous post, Davis threatened "to make your political lives hell" if they didn't go along with Kash Patel to lead the FBI.
