A temporary election worker in Arizona was arrested Saturday after allegedly stealing a security fob and keys from the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center, according to court documents obtained by CNN.
Arizona, and Maricopa County specifically, has been a hotbed for election conspiracy theories since 2020. The Arizona secretary of state’s office said in a Monday statement that the fact Maricopa officials identified this security incident showed that election safety protocols in the county are working. It came amid concerns the incident could be used to further enflame conspiracy theories in the state.
Walter Ringfield, who identified himself to police as a temporary employee of the tabulation center, faces charges of theft and criminal damage. He remains in the custody of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office as he awaits his next court appearance due to an unrelated pending felony case against him, a local official confirmed to CNN.
According to court documents, Ringfield was captured on surveillance video walking past a desk and multiple tabulators just after 5 p.m. local time on June 20.
The surveillance video then shows Ringfield stopping at the desk, grabbing a lanyard with the security fob and keys attached, and placing them in his pocket, court documents say.
Ringfield was confronted by his elections supervisor about taking the security fob and keys, and he allowed security to search his car.

Next time they will have fake fobs ready made and pull a swap to get passed the inventory, I’ll bet.
What could it possibly be. Let me count the things. One.
Already cloned before it was retruned

So their 'safety protocols' involve hiring suspected felons with open charges?
No mention of political affiliation of course.
I was looking at buying a Honda CRV. Then I looked to see how much the SUV is stolen.
Then I saw how much of a problem it is right now for cloning FOBs. Even when you are out shopping and use it to lock your car.
Thieves are slick
“It came amid concerns the incident could be used to further enflame conspiracy theories in the state”.
They aren’t concerned about election fraud. They are just worried that it will “’[i]nflame conspiracy theories”.
The fob wasn’t recovered. I bet he handed that off to the person hiring him immediately upon leaving the building with the key lanyard. The keys he just left in his car as if they were of no further use to him.
NOTHING TO SEE HERE!
This is just an isolated incident.
There is no widespread election irregularities!
Bill Barr told me so
It should be easy to cut off the individual fob, or reprogram the fob lock. I mean, easy for people who are competent. Not sure Maricopa County election officials are competent.
Exactly. Nothing suspicious about this...
Dimocrat, just I suspected.
Ah, Mara-corrupt-a County.
The fob is useless w/o the password. The passwords are all changed prior to the next election in a process called logic and accuracy, or L&A.
The keys are a big deal, because they give you access to the ballots scannned and the vote image/vote tally disk drives. You cant get to those unless you break seals (quite detectable), but you can get to them.
The keys are per tabulator in GA. Can’t speak for AZ.
Pull his banking information, his texting history and phone records.
I have heard that if you manually lock your door using the lock on the door instead of the fob, they can’t clone it.
False flag.
