The Republican-controlled Maricopa County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Friday night to certify the election results of the county — Arizona’s largest — cementing Joe Biden’s win in the highly contested state.
BREAKING Maricopa County Board – 4 R’s/1 D – certifies 2020 election results by unanimous vote, after painstaking, ‘no stone unturned,’ 2.5-hour review of how election was conducted. 1st general election board has overseen in almost 70 years. #12News pic.twitter.com/GRL7hQH5Xf

Washington Post reporter Amy Wang tweeted that the board, comprised of four Republicans and one Democrat, “went through the elections process in excruciating detail and vouched for its integrity.”
There it is. With a unanimous vote, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has certified its election results.
For almost 3 hours, the four Republicans and one Democrat went through the elections process in excruciating detail and vouched for its integrity.

The board “methodically swept aside — in great detail — a wide range of fraud claims, including those pertaining to Dominion voting machines.”
This is a GOP-controlled board and they’ve methodically swept aside — in great detail — a wide range of fraud claims, including those pertaining to Dominion voting machines.

In a bit of a Twilight Zone moment, this happened.
At virtually the exact moment that the Maricopa County board made this unanimous, bipartisan showing, the Arizona GOP sent this:

Clint Hickman, the Republican chairman of the election board, said:
“It’s time to dial back the rhetoric, conspiracies, and false claims.
“In a free democracy, elections result in some people’s candidate losing.”
Did I mention Hickman is a Republican? [sarc]

As noted by our friends over at Twitchy, the certification came shortly after the last pending court case was dismissed:
JUST IN After daylong trial in final election challenge, Maricopa County judge tells both sides she’ll toss out lawsuit ‘with prejudice.’ Meantime, Maricopa County Board will certify results within the hour. It is over. #12News https://t.co/dIspu4TLRd

In a bit of black comedy, Maricopa County lawyer Tom Liddy is the son of G. Gordon Liddy of Richard Nixon-Watergate infamy, who would no doubt be loathed by Democrats as a card-carrying member of the so-called “alt-right” — if they even knew who he was, that is.
NOW Maricopa County lawyer Tom Liddy (yes, Gordon G.’s son) defended county’s election against all comers – Trump, AZGOP, et al. Just told County Board of victory in final case. pic.twitter.com/8fEoQP9gAr

And again, without Maricopa Country, Biden would’ve been toast in Arizona. Moreover, he became the first Democrat presidential candidate to win Maricopa County since Harry Truman pulled it off — 72 years ago.
NOTED Joe Biden wouldn’t have won Arizona without Maricopa County. He’s first Democrat in 72 years – since Harry Truman in ’48 – to take Maricopa.

Did I mention that four of the five board members are Republican, and the Maricopa County attorney is G. Gordon Liddy’s son? Pretty sure I did.
Needless to say, TDS-riddled Trump-haters gleefully reacted to the news with the same kind of bitter bile we’ve come to know and “love” for more than four years. I decided to spare you the experience of reading their garbage — save for one example. Radical left-wing Rabbi Ari Berman no doubt wet himself over, as he described it, “Trump’s day.”
Trump’s day today:
-GA certified for Biden. Wins by 12,000
-Maricopa County AZ certified. Biden first Dem to carry since 1948
-MI GOP refuses to overturn will of voters
-Loses cases in AZ, NV & GA. 2-33 in post-election litigation
-Legal team & son quarantining for covid

And the Left doesn’t understand why conservatives won’t — after four years of that type of crap and worse — just roll over and sing “Kumbaya” with them. What did Biden call it in his “victory” speech? “A time to heal“? Sorry, Democrats; I’ll sit this one out.
Gas Lighting continues...Gov. is holding certification.
Gates is my worthless Supervisor. He has never answered my short emails. I couldn’t vote for the Dem, but I wasn’t going to vote for him.
just like that caller to Rush....we have nobody but Trump and his handfull of allies and Rush....
These republicans are committing suicide WE are not going to blindly vote for them ANYMORE we won’t vote Dem HOWEVER I will stay home SCREW THEM !!! Sydney said some on our side also received payments for installing these machines!!!
I’m with you. Done voting. No one has our back.
Expected, not part of the critical path I think though. Sucks but expected.
I guess those illegal voters crossing the state line from CA were enough to get Biden into the record books. That, and the dead folks, multiple votes, etc.
Posobiec is telling people not to vote in the GA election. Not sure what his game plan is..maybe throw it so Mitch loses power and regroup
Throwing in the towel is what they want. Giving up will just make it worse for you and easier for them. It might be time for a new party or a new republic. However, the game is far from over.
While the election hasn’t been certified, and the results are pending litigation, the media has effectively crowned Joe Biden the victor in the 2020 election, and voters have some strong opinions on the matter.
Without the certification, there is no cause.
Do you have a link to that.
I think this puts even Newsmax over 270 for biden, not that news orgs select the winners. Just sways public opinion a little further.
You can’t criminally prosecute them for following their oath of office.
But HOW did he take Maricopa county?????
Gordon Liddy was very close to John McCain. In fact the dems tried to use their friendship as an issue against McCain.
“ This is a GOP-controlled board and they’ve methodically swept aside — in great detail — a wide range of fraud claims”
Why do you all keep coming back to this “I can’t believe the GOP isn’t supporting Trump” whine?
They don’t support him. They never did. They conspired to get rid of him, and now they have.
Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are still within reach.
