Embattled Maricopa County election official will not seek reelection (what? can't steal your own reelection??)

Maricopa County, Ariz., Supervisor Bill Gates announced on Thursday that he would not seek reelection amid ongoing scrutiny of the county's handling of its elections under his tenure.

"Today, I am announcing that I will not run for re-election to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors in 2024 and intend to pursue other interests and opportunities," he wrote in a statement. "As this chapter comes to an end, I rest well knowing that I led with integrity, compassion, and dignity."

"Regardless of personal partisan preferences or external pressure, I remained focused on making our region the best place to live, work, and raise a family," he added.

The Board of Supervisors, which is responsible for handling the county's elections, came under intense scrutiny following the 2022 gubernatorial election, during which the county faced machine malfunctions that Republican candidate Kari Lake alleged disenfranchised her supporters and swung the election in favor of her opponent.

Lake pointed to Gates and fellow Supervisor Stephen Richer in making calls to recall the members of the board earlier this year.

Well, yeah, he missed that the serial number security tags that were filled out after testing as certified ready (and the memory card removed and the slot protected by the zip tie tag). looking at the post-election audit of the tags showed .... no numbers that should have matched the pre-election audit for each machine. He should be frog-marched to jail before he escapes the country.

He can afford to retire nice on what he got paid for his services. His bank account needs to be looked at.

But not a place with fair elections.

Translation: I am slinking out the door on my belly and hope they never catch up to me.

Now if Steven Richer will go, things may turn around there.

Can’t get away with election fraud that easy. The hangman will still be waiting.

Then there’s the eternity in hell for what he’s done.

I wouldn't want to be there when he says this to God's face.

what? can't steal your own reelection?

You'd think anyone in the election machine would be eligible for the Hobbs rule.
