Bryan Blehm, an attorney for We The People AZ Alliance, on Monday filed a Special Action Complaint against Runbeck Election Services and Maricopa County for public records relating to chain of custody and video documentation of ballot receipts at the Runbeck facility.
Roughly 81% of the 1,311,734 Maricopa County 2022 election voters voted by mail and had their ballot sent to Runbeck for signature verification with discrepancies in ballot chain of custody documentation.
The Gateway Pundit recently reported that the Arizona Supreme Court issued a ruling in Kari Lake’s lawsuit, confirming a previous mandate for the trial court and issuing bogus, meaningless sanctions for Lake’s attorneys over their factual claims regarding chain of custody. Still, the Court denied Defendants’ attorneys’ fees, and the sanction for just $2,000 to the Court was a joke.
The issue that Kari Lake was sanctioned on relates to the missing documentation of over 35,000 ballots sent between Runbeck’s warehouse and Maricopa County. The record supported the claims by Lake; the Arizona Supreme Court just ignored Lake’s argument and the math.
The Gateway Pundit reported that We The People AZ Alliance would be filing a lawsuit with one of Lake’s attorneys after Maricopa County and Runbeck Election Services denied lawful public records requests for footage at Runbeck’s facility. These records could prove that 35,563 illegal ballots were added to the count.
We The People AZ Alliance is requesting the “exterior video of all loading dock locations, which clearly shows any items being delivered and/or “picked up” and “interior video of all loading dock locations/warehouse space which clearly shows any items) being delivered and/or picked up” at Runbeck after Election Day.
Runbeck previously denied this request, claiming they have “no legal obligation to do so.” Runbeck’s liberal hack attorney is also the same attorney who represented Katie Hobbs in Lake’s lawsuit.
However, Runbeck, despite being a private company, is the custodian of these records and must comply with Arizona’s Public Records Law based on established case law in the Arizona Court of Appeals during a lawsuit by Phoenix Newspapers, Inc. against Cyber Ninjas and the Arizona Senate during the 2020 Election Audit. Therefore, We The People AZ Alliance can sue Runbeck and Maricopa County under the same pretenses that Cyber Ninjas was sued for denying a public records request.
From the Arizona Court of Appeals:
To the extent Cyber Ninjas is in sole possession of audit- related public records because of its contract with the Senate, Cyber Ninjas has become the custodian of those records under [Arizona’s Public Records Law] the PRL. And as to those records, Cyber Ninjas has assumed the obligations the PRL assigns to a “custodian” of public records. Under the PRL, a person seeking publicrecords must make its request to the “custodian” of the records. A.R.S. § 39-121.01(D)(1). “Access to a public record is deemed denied if a custodian fails to promptly respond to a request for production of a public record.” A.R.S. § 39-121.01(E).
From Bryan Blehm’s letter threatening legal action and the new lawsuit against Maricopa County and Runbeck collectively:
To the extent [Runbeck] is in sole possession of [election]-related public records because of its contract with [Maricopa County], [Runbeck] has become the custodian of those records under the PRL. And as to those records, [Runbeck] has assumed the obligations the PRL assigns to a “custodian” of public records. Under the PRL, a person seeking public records must make its request to the “custodian” of the records. A.R.S. § 39-121.01 (D)(1). “Access to a public record is deemed denied if a custodian fails to promptly respond to a request for production of a public record.” A.R.S. § 39-121.01(E).
The complaint also notes that “Stephen Richer, the Maricopa County Recorder, routinely points out to the public the open nature of Arizona elections by tweeting about a comparable on-line video of all election related activity at Maricopa County Tabulation Center.”
However, what occurs at Runbeck, a private third party that plays an “extraordinary role in Maricopa County elections,” is a mystery.
“Defendant Runbeck also brags about its state-of-the-art video surveillance of all aspects of its election related activities” but “provides no publicly available live feeds of its election related activities,” attorney Bryan Blehm continues.

You’ve got to admit, she is a fighter and that’s what we need.
bttt
Does not back down. Would be much better than Judas Pence.
I like her fight. We need more people like her to fight against the evil democrats tooth and nail. With that said, I’m sure some corrupt liberal judge will be “randomly” selected for the case and will throw it out. Fight on though.
They want her to just go away but she keeps on fighting.
That’s why Conservative, Inc. is begging her to run for Senate or be Trump’s VP. They don’t want her to get to the truth and stop their fraud and stolen election corruption. I honestly believe Hobbs and Maricopa County officials were paid off by the cartels.
She also has another hearing Friday to determine another trial date (hopefully next week.)
Good for her. Everyone knows she won and got jobbed out of the governorship by a corrupt state and federal bureaucracy. The people of Arizona should be outraged.
Let me understand this one, the county hired an outside firm to do the county’s responsibilities in an election process and then the outside company said they have no legal responsibility to release information? But the company was not legally allowed to have that information!
This is bridge to nowhere.
After the paper ballot is removed from outside envelope, there is no way in hell to separate legit ballots from fraud ballots. Suit will go nowhere.
Isn’t Runbeck the company that also produces ballots? If so, it would seem rather dangerous to have everything go through them for ballot signature verification. Do the math, print more ballots, fill them out...insert into all the other ballots...
I must be off...no way could that be allowed.
ROFL.
:-)
Basically, they gave the private company the AUTHORITY to do county business, but the private company says they do not have the RESPONSIBILITY to follow the law concerning county business, because they are a private business.
WRONG! When doing government work, you fall under the requirements of that government entity - PERIOD! No matter what, the mandated responsibilities always remain, regardless of who is actually doing the work.
If it was this simple to avoid public record requirements, every single government entity would outsource every single function of their responsibility to a third party, private-company. Heck, the only people actually working for the government entity would be those who sign contracts with private companies! LOL!
Thanks
If the number of signature lines that are blank or have a squiggly mark, not even an attempt at writing a name, are as high as they say they are outside the margin of victory they have a case.
If these Judges weren’t morally bankrupt and ethically corrupt, the Runbeck Lawyer would have been held in Contempt of Court, Sanctioned $10,000 and JAILED for 120 days for LYING in Official Communications and proceedings.
Democrats = blatant fraud.
FRAUD .
I don’t think it’s Conservative Inc, I think it’s gop-e Inc
And Maricopa is evidently the only county in the state to outsource the verification of mail in ballots to a proprietary, trade secret artificial intelligence program, which is illegal in the first place.
