An SOS From Ground Zero
Maricopa County Hangs in the Balance
Kitty Gillespie
I love Arizona.
I’ve lived here since fleeing Chicagoland in 1984.
It’s the most amazing place to live. And living in the Phoenix area (the now infamous Maricopa County) gives its residents the best of all worlds. Palm trees. Cactus. Swimming pools. Arizona Office of Tourism weather that the country covets half the year.
Driving around the state is easy and always an adventure. The Grand Canyon. Tombstone. Antelope Canyon. Winslow and Route 66. Lost Dutchman’s Gold Mine. Sedona. Bisbee. Petrified Forest. Jerome.
This is big sky country, where you can often see the clouds throwing shade on the gorgeous mountains across the state. And the desert is unimaginably beautiful, especially after the spring rains. In the middle of the summer heat, you can drive two hours north to higher elevations and weather that is 30 degrees cooler than the Valley of the Sun.
No tornados. No hurricanes. An occasional forest fire in the mountains, hours from most of the state’s population. The excitement of an infrequent, but dramatic, “haboob” (which used to be called a dust storm. But “haBOOB” is a more exciting term, isn’t it?) After a haboob, Arizonans will often post a meme showing a lawn chair lying on its side with the caption, “Marked Safe After Another Arizona Haboob.” Looks dramatic, but it’s more of a dry heave. There’s lots of dust in the desert.
I love Arizona so very, very much.
And I’m sending out an SOS.
SAVE. OUR. STATE.
The elections system in Arizona is appallingly broken.
There are two new comedy shows playing on Twitter.
The first is called “Arizona Elections for Dummies with Mr. Bill.” The folksy, singsongy, friendly Chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, Bill Gates, just went on a weekend bender, posting video after video on the @MaricopaCounty Twitter feed, answering voters’ questions.
True confession: I just can’t watch them all. I’ve watched a few, and they make my stomach turn. Here’s a sample.
Yep. That’s MY Attorney General! I’m SO proud.
Another admission: I haven’t heard ONE person in either the mainstream media or independent media say that they understand why Brnovich would be considered “acting governor.” According to Article V, Section 6 of the Constitution of Arizona (entitled “Death, resignation, removal or disability of governor; succession to office; impeachment, absence from state or temporary disability,”) the order of succession for the Arizona governorship goes to the Secretary of State first, THEN the Attorney General.
My guess is that Governor Ducey was headed out of state on Friday, creating a “temporary disability,” so somebody needed to take the helm. But why Brnovich and not Hobbs?
Maybe Hobbs, as the current Secretary of State, is TOO BUSY trying to certify her OWN ELECTION?
If we had any real journalists in Arizona, maybe someone could ask that question.
But I digress. The point is that Brnovich decided to crack wise to the WORLD while Arizona is burning down all around him.
We are a freaking HOT MESS over here.
Just to give you some background, Brnovich has been AG since 2015. He wanted to be a US Senator, but Arizona wouldn’t have him. He came in THIRD in the August primary.
His senate bid loss might have something to do with the fact that he seems to have poor judgment about what Arizonans want to know about their Attorney General. Here’s a tweet from May 13, 2019.
And then on October 15, 2021, after the Arizona audit of the 2020 election and as awareness of his existence increased, Brnovich posted a video on Twitter that won the internet that week. I believe he was trying to encourage us that our “tough guy” AG would take action on the fraud that was proven by the audit.
Oh, we got the nunchucks, all right. Brnovich did NOTHING to fight election fraud after 2020.
My guess is that Brnovich, as a Republican, is either compromised or playing a specific role in this movie. He spent quite a bit of time with our POTUS prior to the Florence, Arizona, rally last year. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall.
In my article, Why Kari Lake Will Lose in Arizona on November 5, I gave a warning about the election: “One critical thing to keep an eye on: The left can’t JUST flip the Governor’s race. No, THE LEFT WILL NEED TO FLIP THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN DOWN-BALLOT TICKET in order for the Governor’s race results to be believable.”
Oops-a-daisy.
At the time of this writing on November 21, here are the current STATEWIDE vote counts from the Arizona Secretary of State’s website under a link called, “2022 Unofficial General Election Results.”
Let me make this graphic easier to digest.
1,287,322 votes were cast for Arizona Governor.
1,320,059 votes were cast for Arizona Secretary of State.
1,254,096 votes were cast for Arizona Attorney General.
1,389,215 votes were cast for Arizona State Treasurer.
And it wasn’t just a “few” Arizonans that thought the State Treasurer office was more important than the contests for US Senate, Governor, Secretary of State, or Attorney General. It was THOUSANDS!
101,893 more people voted for State Treasurer than Arizona Governor
69,156 more people votes for State Treasurer than Arizona Secretary of State
135,119 more people voted for State Treasurer than Arizona Attorney General
Well, the proof is in the puddin’.
These people are stupid.
Kimberly Yee, the Republican candidate, got 55.7% of the vote.
It wasn’t even close.
As the Resident might say, “C’mon, man!”
So here we are, two weeks post-election. And it’s NOT over.
It’s BUSY in Arizona, friends. Lawyers are swarming again. We have some savage lawyers fighting for election integrity in Arizona, like our beloved Harmeet Dhillon.
All of our candidates have untold numbers of people (both paid and volunteer) who are getting muddy in the trenches right now, fighting for election integrity. Check out the response this Kari Lake volunteer got from Civil Division Chief of the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office Tom Liddy last week.
SIDE BAR: Yes, Tom Liddy is G. Gordon Liddy’s son. Yes, THAT G. Gordon Liddy from Watergate. I worked with Tom back in the day when he was a radio talk show host. My comment: No comment.
I know it’s Thanksgiving week, but keep your eyes on reliable independent news sources like Badlands Media. This week is going to be CRAZY in Arizona. Why?
Because over the weekend, a hint of governmental sanity bravely raised its head. Jennifer Wright, Assistant Attorney General of Arizona, wrote a very interesting letter to Tom Liddy at the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. (Let’s not hold working for Brnovich against Ms. Wright. She’s my hero right now).
Highlights? There are three big buckets of issues in this letter.
Wright starts off explaining that hundreds of citizen complaints, including first-hand witness accounts have raised concerns “regarding Maricopa’s lawful compliance with Arizona election law.” OUCH.

Welp, it ain’t hard.
1. Prove fraud occurred.
2. Research AZ law to determine what remedy is possible in the event of election fraud.
3. Take legal action if possible.
IANAL and certainly do not know AZ law, but I’d be willing to bet the only penalty is for criminal charges against anyone convicted of violating election laws. If there is no specific process for non-certification or new elections then that is not going to happen and Hobbs is Governor.
This should have been a top priority for the past 2 years. Why wasn’t it? Who was stupid/naive enough to believe that they wouldn’t cheat after it worked so well in 2020?
Sorry but the climate in Phoenix is not compatible with the central nervous system of most Caucasians. Caucasians evolved in cold, wet , often dark climates. their central nervous system, hence their thinking, emotions and temperament are best designed for Northern climes. Not surprising a large percentage go wobbly and become demented Democrats. BTW Arizona was called “the arid zone” by Spanish geographers, hence its name. If not for air conditioning and irrigation the place would be unlivable.
you’ve never been to northern AZ I take it?
Bttt.

Maricopa County has been fraught with fraud for many decades now, particularly Phoenix. Ever since air conditioning became widely (and perhaps unwisely) available.
Before that, you could not convert a resident of Phoenix to evangelical Christianity. After one summer in the heat, they no longer had any fear of Hell.
67,780 more people voted for State Treasurer than US Senate
101,893 more people voted for State Treasurer than Arizona Governor
69,156 more people votes for State Treasurer than Arizona Secretary of State
135,119 more people voted for State Treasurer than Arizona Attorney General
unpossible
Please stay in your dark, dank frigid state, wherever you live.
“… Let me make this graphic easier to digest.

*******************************************************
Actually, you listed vote counts ONLY FOR THE WINNER (whether Rep or Dem) which did not include votes counts for the loser in the respective races. So you didn’t make the graphic “easier to digest”, you actually made it misleading. Just sayin’.
No water.
Yeah - I can see how well Caucasians are running things in New York, Michigan, and Minnesota. :)
Reread what Kitty Gillespie is reporting. She’s pointing out that more people voted for lesser offices than for Governor.
Kari Lake is more popular in AZ than all the other Republicans.
Reread carefully, it should become clear.
And speaking of a calendar that presently works in favor of "follow the unconstitutional money" crook Democrats and RINOs, Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters need to demand that the annual deadline for paying unconstitutional federal taxes always falls on the day before Election Day.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Unconstitutional federal taxes are those taxes which the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
Brnovich... what a dork... “coulda been somebody”.
Your point that as people fume about taxes, they vote with it still on the mind, if they just paid them.
However, if taxes are due AFTER election, people are not voting with those taxes in mind.
The numbers don’t support the argument.
Total votes as follows from the site:
2,557,216 - Gov.
2,519,634 - SOS
2,516,900 - Sen.
2,507,342 - AG
2,495,797 - ST
Save for later.
I think the numbers show 135,119 more Republicans and independents voted for State Treasurer than for Arizona Attorney General.
