The MAGA drive to take over Maricopa County kicks into overdrive this week as the hard right begins its drive to unseat Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer.
According to MAGA mythology, Richer is the Beelzebub of county government. He’s the devil who singlehandedly denied Kari Lake her due, with backup from his dark angels, the (GOP-run) Board of Supervisors.
Never mind that they’ve provided no evidence or really, any explanation for why a Republican recorder would want to rig an election for a Democrat to become governor. (I quit counting last summer, when they were 0 for 27 in election challenges.)
Look for hard right to try to take over the Board of Supervisors and the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, all of which are run by establishment Republicans.
But their No. 1 target is Richer.
Richer wouldn't say the election was stolen The MAGA conspiracy crowd has been after Richer ever since he took office in 2021 and became one of the shockingly few Republican elected officials in this state who not only didn’t buy into the fiction that Maricopa County’s 2020 election was stolen but was willing to risk his political future by standing up and saying so.
The long knives came out in 2022 when Lake and the rest of Trump’s America First slate managed to turn over the reins of every key state elective office to Democrats. Richer would eventually sue Lake for defamation, over her claims that he intentionally rigged the election against her.
Late last week, the MAGA crowd began teasing its Wednesday announcement for Richer’s Republican challenger.

Because Richer is a conservative-hating McCain-type Republican, who, given the choice of a conservative Republican or a Democrat for office, would prefer the Democrat.
They're all like that. So this guy's likely toast in August. And good riddance.
Sooooooo, Mr. Richer, if there weren’t any shenanigans with that election, why did it take so long to simply count the votes?
The Republican party of Arizona still has the ghost of John McCain haunting them, which makes the seeming desire of Maricopa County “Republicans” to throw support behind the Democrat Socialist forces in Arizona, and thus hold the governorship hostage, a much more practical assessment of what is going on there.
Kari Lake has to keep on fighting like she is five points behind just to make up for the sleaze that has infested Maricopa County and the city of Phoenix.
“Hard Right”
The Overton Window on steroids.
Because The Left has gone over the edge, the old center is now Hard Right.
“hard Right” = people who want elections to be free and fair.
More importantly, his wife, the real power in Arizona politics is alive & well.
The corruption that exists in Mexico does not stop at the border. What’s going on in Maricopa county is just a small part of the larger war against traditional America. Corruption follows money as night follows day.
Radical Left-Wing News Media are married to Arizona McCain RINOs with a deep abiding loyalty.
Election Fraud is the baby that makes three.
Granted, if I had seen this was Newsweek, The New York Times, or Politico, that might have been cheating on my part, but...it was the Arizona Republic, which rang no bells.
But true to their cause, I nailed it in the first sentence: "The MAGA drive to take over Maricopa County kicks into overdrive this week as the hard right..."
And there you have it. Of course, I take pride in getting it in the first few words of that sentence, "The MAGA" which speaking of it in the third person is a reliable indicator. If this were complimentary of or in ideologic concert, it would have started with "MAGA is driving to take over..."
Do not trust one word from the Arizona Repugnant. Is an extremely far left rag.

Who is this pusillanimous little bigot Laurie Roberts? Let’s have all the details about it so we can diagnose the disease and come up with a cure. Where there’s life there’s hope.
Let the bloodbath begin as the right kicks off its drive to oust hard left Stephen Richer.
