Ex-Arizona Gov. Ducey on witnesses list in fake electors trial

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : What did occur not only that day but in other prior efforts by Trump to influence Ducey could come out in open court if the Attorney General's Office calls him to the stand.
42% : He got a call after the election from Trump and Rudy Giuliani, one of Trump's lawyers.
40% : That was the culmination of a series of efforts by Trump to keep the state's election results from being formalized amid claims -- never backed up with evidence -- that the election was marred by fraud.
40% : The most visible part of that plot, at least in Arizona, was 11 Republicans signing a document claiming that Trump had won the popular vote here and that they represented the state's 11 electoral votes to be cast for him.
40% : And Bowers said both told him that they understood that there was a legal way for him to toss out the election results and grant them to Trump -- or at least deny Biden the 11 electoral votes.
39% : Giuliani is among the others charged in Arizona; Trump is listed in the indictment as an "unindicted co-conspirator.''
34% : The governor drew national attention on Nov. 30, 2020, when, in the middle of signing the formal papers certifying the results of the election -- the one that Trump lost in Arizona -- when his cell phone rang with the tune of "Hail to the Chief.''
29% : But he declined to say more about that post-canvass conversation other than to say that, during that call, Trump did not ask him to set aside the state's results.
24% : But the indictment contends this was part of a larger conspiracy hatched by Trump supporters and attorneys to keep enough states from certifying the results and deny Biden the necessary 270 electoral votes.
20% : Four Republicans who were on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors who were pressured by Trump or his allies to throw out the vote tally also are on the witness list.
16% : "I say, why would he sign when you have these incredible hearings going on that's showing such corruption and such horrible fraud on the American people and the people of Arizona,'' Trump said.
13% : Even after the election results were certified, Trump did not let up on Ducey.
10% : Howard FischerPHOENIX -- Four years ago, Gov. Doug Ducey very visibly ignored a call from Donald Trump, trying to stay in office, as he was certifying the results of the election that the president lost.
5% : Ducey is on a list of 19 witnesses in the upcoming trial of 11 fake electors and others who are charged with fraud and conspiracy in trying to keep Trump in office despite the fact that Joe Biden outpolled him by more than 10,000 votes.
