Republican officials from Arizona told Congress on Thursday that Maricopa County conducted a “free, fair and accurate election” in November, that Joe Biden won the state and that a Republican-commissioned review of nearly 2.1 million ballots in the county did not find the widespread fraud claimed by former president Donald Trump. The House Oversight Committee summoned Jack Sellers, chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors; Bill Gates, vice chairman of the board; and Ken Bennett, a former Arizona secretary of state, to testify after the state Senate hired the Florida firm Cyber Ninjas to conduct a review. The six-month,...

Arizona Audit Director Ken Bennett joined One America News to discuss the latest developments in the Maricopa County forensic audit. .... Snip.... In his interview with OAN Ken Bennett said Dominion is refusing to comply with the State Senate’s subpoena and is hiding the second password for their machines. Dominion was in charge of the Maricopa County election. And now they are refusing to cooperated with a subpoena.

Ken Bennett also dropped this bomb during the interview. The liberal media is attempting to dox the audit workers: "No. We haven’t confirmed any activity from those particular groups or anyone else. But, unfortunately, we’ve had the press and the media taking pictures of people’s license plates and trying to get closeups on their name badges and faces, of course. So it makes the workers and the observers a little bit nervous when the press is going to that length to try to identify somebody. They’re afraid they’re going to be doxxed or something like that. So we hope that...

Former Secretary of State Ken Bennett’s much-ridiculed contention that Governor Doug Ducey plans to appoint Cindy McCain to replace her ailing husband in the U.S. Senate suddenly seems tantalizingly prescient. On Friday morning, Senator John McCain’s family issued a statement saying that the 81-year-old, six-term senator has chosen “to discontinue medical treatment” for the rare, deadly form of brain cancer that doctors diagnosed him with more than a year ago. The statement, tweeted out by Cindy McCain, reads in part that, “John has surpassed expectations for his survival,” but that, “the progress of the disease and the inexorable advance of...

Ducey will not debate because he does NOT want to talk about his plan to appoint Cindy McCain to Senate seat #McCainDuceyLOVEObamacare

After days of ridicule for launching a conspiracy theory-fueled investigation into Barack Obama’s birth certificate, Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett on Tuesday backed off his threat to keep the president off the ballot in November and apologized to his state. “If I embarrassed the state, I apologize, but that certainly wasn’t my intent,” Bennett said in an interview with Phoenix radio station KTAR. “He’ll be on the ballot as long as he fills out the same paperwork and does the same things that everybody else has.” Bennett said he still intends to keep asking Hawaii for verification that Obama’s...

Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett is threatening to keep President Obama’s name off the state’s ballot in November unless he receives confirmation from Hawaii that it has a valid birth certificate on file for him. Bennett, who spoke to Arizona radio host Mike Broomhead Thursday, said he requested the confirmation eight weeks ago and has not gotten it. Hawaii, he said, does not have to supply a certified copy of the birth certificate, merely send him an email confirming that it has one. Asked by Broomhead if he would remove Obama’s name from the ballot if Hawaii fails to...
