A Twitter campaign petitioning the Arizona legislature to convene under its Constitutional plenary powers is now targeting those who didn't sign the petition.

A Twitter user called the Republicans who had not signed the petition 'RINOs' —'Republicans in name only.'

“Arizona RINO Holdouts!” the user tweeted. “They are refusing to sign. Urge them to sign the petition to convene the AZ Legislature, under its Constitutional plenary powers.”

The user said that even out-of-state people could call on the issue, saying it’s a federal issue and not just a state one.

One user shared an email reply from Rep. John Kavanagh (R-Fountain Hills) in which he said he was in favor of convening.

“I share your concerns over election fraud, especially the extreme cases in Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania, which may cost President Trump reelection,” Kavanagh wrote in the email. “I fully support the lawsuits being brought by the Republican Party and Trump campaign there and in Arizona and believe that they are our best chance to prevail.”

Kavanagh also said he supported recounting ballots, calling for a special session and doing a forensic audit of Dominion Voting System, and that he has already signed two petitions to go into a special session to address those issues.

Republicans who didn't sign the petition include:
