'Obviously, just the optics of it looks bad,' Kari Lake says ... Republican Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake took issue with her Democrat opponent not recusing herself as Arizona’s chief election officer amid days of election officials counting ballots. "We called for her to recuse herself July of last year of 2021, right after we got into the race, recognizing that there's a major ethical problem there. Obviously, just the optics of it looks bad. And she didn't do that," Kari Lake said on Fox News’ "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo." "Even though many people been calling for her...

Michelle Swinik Michele Swinick was an election judge in Maricopa County on election day last week. Following the election Michele stepped forward to discuss what she experienced in Maricopa County on Election Day. Michele worked at a center in a heavily Republican district. According to Michele, the tabulators worked perfectly well the night before the election. Then on Election Day they quit working. Only 1 in 10 ballots were accepted through the tabulators. The officials were told to put the defective ballots into a different section called “Door 3.” Michele believes this was all planned. The election officials knew that...

My god, Texas, Florida, and other states have fair and sensible voting.

The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson and Ben Bergquam from Real America’s Voice were physically removed from the Maricopa County presser on Thursday afternoon. As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier today, the County has surrounded the Elections Center with fencing, sidewalk barricades, and armed Sheriff’s deputies. Deputies were even photographed on the roof of the building on election night. Maricopa County deputies removed them from the premises by escorting them outside of the fence – something that is noticeably absent on the US southern border! In October The Gateway Pundit reported that TGP correspondent Jordan Conradson was blocked from access to...

Problems with vote-counting machines at some polling locations in Maricopa County, home to more than half of Arizona’s voters, became grist for prominent right-wing voices who deny the legitimacy of the 2020 election to claim without evidence that Tuesday’s vote was also fraudulent. Tabulators at about a quarter of the 223 voting locations in the county experienced problems, county officials said. Elections officials were fixing the problems and advised voters to either wait for tabulators to come back online, go to another voting location or to drop ballots in secure slots. Ballots dropped in the slots are counted either at...

A judge Tuesday evening rejected the RNC’s effort to extend voting hours in Maricopa County, Arizona by 3 hours after problems with vote tabulators created problems and led to long lines. The judge wasn’t buying the RNC’s argument that voters were denied their right to vote. For good measure, the judge says “The Doctrine of Laches applies.” There’s no way to do anything legally at this point, even if he agreed with the RNC. But he didn’t. — Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) November 9, 2022

The Arizona establishment is doing everything in its power to buy and rig this election. TGP reported on voter fraud concerns across the state, including 63,000 incorrect ballots sent out by negligent and corrupt Arizona election officials. They are pumping out fake polls against Trump-endorsed candidates and dumping millions of dollars in to stop America First Patriots. The Gateway Pundit has also reported on the election day concerns and Maricopa County’s shady pen recommendation. Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, in a July 7th tweet, said, “use any black or blue pen.” He later flipped and tweeted new instructions, commanding voters...

This informational hearing, moderated by investigative journalist Lara Logan, presented evidence of fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election and addressed the concerns in the 2022 elections. The hearing also featured a bombshell testimony revealing exactly who in Maricopa County deleted subpoenaed 2020 Election files before delivery to Arizona Senate auditors. The County was clearly hiding something. As we reported earlier, Lara dropped a bomb on stage, revealing that the Biden regime is now giving social security numbers...

Let me preface this article by telling all of my readers: You can use any blue or black ballpoint pen you bring to the voting booth or poll. Do not let anyone there force you or pressure you into using their pen against your wishes.

In an email exchange with The Arizona Sun Times this week, a Maricopa County Recorder’s office spokesperson may have unwittingly admitted that the county mishandled thousands of ballots from the 2020 general election that one watchdog groups says were accepted after the legal deadline. Megan Gilbertson, the communications director for the Maricopa County Elections Department (MCED) – a department of the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office – said that the department processed ballots by scanning them into the tabulating machines at MCED before transferring their custody the next day to Runbeck Election Services, which verifies their legitimacy with signature verification. She...

With the 2022 midterm elections around the corner, scrutiny of the 2020 election continues to raise questions about election integrity, including a newly identified anomaly in Maricopa County, Arizona.Arizona Law requires that, to be considered valid, ballots must be received by the county no later than 7 p.m. on Election Day.But newly uncovered records documenting the Maricopa County 2020 general election show that while more than 20,000 ballots were transported from the U.S. Postal Service after Election Day, Maricopa County only rejected 934 late ballots in its “Early Voting Rejections Summary” document.This means more than 19,000 late, invalid ballots should...

A new report from Verity Vote provides massive evidence of law violations in Maricopa County’s 2020 election. 740,000 ballots were accepted and counted without the proper chain of custody documentation in violation of Arizona Law.

The mainstream media began lying about the results as soon as the Maricopa County election audit was released. Several media outlets falsely claimed that the audit “confirmed Biden won.” The report did no such thing. This claim focused on the results of the hand-recount part of the audit and either ignored or dismissed the findings of the actual forensic audit. However, earlier this month, Maricopa County officials issued a rebuttal to the forensic audit’s findings, offering what they believed to be reasonable explanations for the issues cited in the audit report.The audit team, led by the Sarasota, Florida-based Cyber Ninjas,...

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,...
