Arizona County Elections Director Quits, Accusing Officials of Politicization
Epoch Times ^ | 6/27/23 | Caden Pearson

Posted on 06/28/2023 6:51:26 AM PDT by CFW

An Arizona county elections director resigned from her position on Tuesday after accusing officials of politicizing elections and creating a harmful work environment.

The Pinal County government announced the resignation of Elections Director Geraldine Roll, who stepped into the position to oversee the recount process after the 2022 midterm election.

In a scathing email sent on Tuesday, Roll announced her resignation, expressing her dissatisfaction with County Manager Leo Lew and the toxic work environment she claimed to experience.

“With no regrets, I quit,” Roll wrote, highlighting her decision as a result of losing respect for her superiors and their failure to support her during times of attack and criticism.

“When you no longer respect those you work for, it is time to leave. I have watched as you idly stood by when I was attacked,” Roll wrote in the email obtained by AZCentral. “I cannot work for an individual who does not support me. The environment fostered by your team and the Board of Supervisors is toxic.”

Leftists are less prone to quit when the going gets tough for them. They burrow-in, pretend to agree, and emerge angry and ready to fight when the political winds shift.

From the excerpt, you can’t tell if she is the good guy fighting for accurate results and fought by her bosses or if she is the bad guy repelling the board that wanted good results.

“ The ladies just LOVE that word ‘toxic’.”
They got that from reading about toxic shock syndrome on their monthly gear!

Only a Democrat can be non-partisan. This fact is widely known, by Democrats.

I noticed that too. So I looked up her political donations on opensecrets.org.

Looks like she made 2 donations to 1 Republican candidate, and she’s from a pretty heavily Republican area. But there is also a donation under the same name earlier in California to a Democratic Senatorial candidates fund. So I guess that could be her as well, if she is a transplant:

Well, to give you an idea of where she comes from this is a statement by her...

“It is a far reach to see how you will deliver clean elections when you bend to a faction of the Republican Party”
~Pinal County Elections Director Geraldine Roll

I’m surprised that the word “narcissist” wasn’t thrown in as well.

I’ve come to associate both of those words as utterings of the mentally weak.

Why do I guess that the people she accuses of “politicization” were insisting on radical steps like cleaning up the voter rolls, real verification of ballot signatures, requiring registered voters to be US citizens of legal age residing at a fixed address in the voting district, having a complete, verified chain of custody for ballots, multiparty supervision of all ballot-handling and counting, secure storage of election materials, equipment, and digital archives, allowing legitimate audits, etc.?
