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.

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.
We have a bunch of bad pubbies in the party,we need to get rid of them asap,it’s not easy but it is dooable.When you cant get rid of one of them light a fire under his ass,it works.
Got rid of Corker. Added Romney’s BFF Hagerty. The GOP has no interest in reforming and a few fresh faces won’t change anything.
We can regroup if we hold the senate. If we lose it, there’s no coming back on a significant number of issues — we’ll have permanently lost the 2nd amendment and the SCOTUS.
Yeah, the Dems cheat, but republicans and conservatives did make gains in the House and state legislatures. Tillis held his seat in a tight race. The odious Collins held her seat. The Dems cheat but we clearly still have a chance. Posobiec throwing up his hands and surrendering is pathetic.
Not his call to make. That authority lies with SOS Hobbs.
He didnt.
I lived in Pima and Maricopa county 23 years, my mom and I canvassed Neighborhoods for Nixon in ‘68.
Was always Republican. Phoenix was the center of it. Goldwater, Fannin, the whole gang.
Trump is God there. I drove by AF1 just a month ago at Sky Harbor and people were cheering.
They just signed off on a fraud. No way Biden won Maricopa.
Phony ballots, illegals voting, screwing with the ballots...they got away with it, and the idiot Republicans want to look noble and upright and above the fray...so they caved and voted.
No way. Not in Phoenix.
Welcome to the United Socialist States of America.
Country will never be the same again, at least, not in the way I grew up and knew it. Salute.
Strange you don’t mention Mittens and Murkowski, I think you have your head on Backwards.
No voting....if it doesnt count...if fraud...why bother
No because it wouldn’t have mattered. The democrats would have found more votes to steal.
No, you are wrong. If this fraud is not exposed and the cheating is allowed to continue, do you really think there will ever ever ever be a free election again? Do you think that the real freedom lovers in congress will still be there in 2 years or 4 years. Do you think there will ever be another honestly elected president. You are trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear which just doesn’t work.
Take off your rose-colored sunglasses, Pollyanna. Either we end this cheating and the cheaters now, or we are utterly defeated forever. This is it, there will be no second chance.

I'm pretty sure some 30 percent or more of us will never vote in a US federal election again if this is not corrected. There is simply no point in voting in fake elections.
We’re going to find a way to fight back, maybe online who knows but I’m feeling like our voice has totally been silenced. It can’t fuc*ing stand, we’re human we can’t tolerate being silenced forever.
I will stay home SCREW THEM !!!
I agree with the sentiment.
But if you don’t vote you will definitely be screwed by them.
If you do vote there is the possibility that you might get kissed first.
You can for being complicit in the fraud, troll-boi.
Nope, that won't work. You would have to prove they were involved in a conspiracy. Their argument that they were entrusted with the decision based upon their opinion will reign supreme. That's why the Trump team would much rather get it all before the SCOTUS. Though, the Amistad project has a pretty strong filing in 6 states coming up.
Is there any way to undo what the cowards did in Maricopa/Arizona?? Now you know why I despise Republicans? The TRUMP CONSERVATIVE PARTY needs to stomp out the old Republican Party and the old suck ups that have ruined it!!!!
I honestly don’t know at this point.
The truth is, no one knows what the actual vote total is.
It’s a statistical mean. You could - and should - redo the count at least 5 times to get something resembling a statistically meaningful sample. Nominally that number is 20, but we can’t do that politically.
Then the biases and errors would start showing up. Then you could pinpoint who tried to do what. And the absurdity of saying you can take a nearly uncontrolled system like precinct and absentee vote counting and declare a winner based on a 3/10% margin would be clear as well. It’s within the statistical margin. In fact, the 3 sigma result will be at 99.865% and it’s just inside of that...on one count.
For a bunch of guys on the county board to say they can clear it in a 2 1/2 hour discussion is ridiculous. There were enough complaints to merit audits and even criminal investigations.
But nope, gotta make nice and give in. Maybe their kids were getting threatened.
By all means, donate to Trump’s legal fund. But don’t sit on your hands in every other battle going on here, donate to Perdue and Loeffler as well if you can. Just giving up is disgusting. Tillis held on, Collins held on, Daines ran away with his race. If we were going to sulk and say it’s pointless we would already have definitely lost the senate. I think we have a better chance of holding the senate than of seeing Trump sworn in for a 2nd term at this point, but if we just cave and go sulk we’ll get neither.
Al due respect, but that’s not a strategy
