Who is Karen Fann?

Over the last nearly 10 months, ballots from the 2020 election have
been counted and recounted to ensure that there was no election
fraud and that Arizona really did vote President Joe Biden into
office. While the election review is still happening in other ways,
the official reports from Cyber Ninjas confirmed that there was no
fraud and that Joe Biden did win Arizona's 11 electoral votes.
Leading the way through the ballot recount has been Senate
President Karen Fann. She signed onto subpoenas to obtain
materials from the county, and helped press the county to hand over
its ballots and tabulation machines. And she has presided over
various public proceedings involving the review. A year ago, most
people didn’t know who Fann even was, but now she has international
recognition.  This week's episode of The Gaggle, an Arizona
politics podcast, hosts Yvonne Wingett Sanchez and Ron
Hansen are joined by Arizona Republic reporter Mary Jo
Pitzl. Mary Jo has covered the state legislature on and off for a
long time and has watched Fann navigate the Capitol for more than a
decade. She recently sat down with Fann to find out how she became
synonymous with Maricopa County's ballot review. Learn more about
