Arizona Election Official Said He Wanted To 'Make Life Hell' For Kari Lake With Senate Race Still Undecided
The Daily Mail ^ | 11/09/24 | Rob Crilly

Posted on 11/09/2024 2:26:22 AM PST by Enlightened1

The election official overseeing voting in Arizona's most populous county told a friend last year that he was interested in pursuing a Senate run 'to make life hell for Kari [Lake]', according to court documents seen by DailyMail.com.

As Maricopa County Recorder, Stephen Richer is in charge of the ballots that could decide whether Lake triumphs in her tight run for the Senate.

But the comments will raise questions from allies of the conservative firebrand about whether he can be trusted to run a fair election.

The explosive words come from the transcript of a June 21 deposition that will be included in papers to be filed Friday as part of a defamation case brought by Richer against Lake.

They show Richer also describing himself as 'anti-MAGA.'………

I’m sure she’ll return the favor.

See... This is criminal. A Republican who would rather have a Democrat in office than Lake. THIS is why Lake lost the first time and is having trouble this time. There is a true establishment GOP criminal conspiracy against Lake and MAGA. She has her OWN party working against her and throwing her under the bus. And they are going to do the same to Trump... They are not going to help him one bit, they are going to come up with all kinds of reasons why they need to fight against his agenda.

This war is just starting.

Remember McCain showing up in the Capitol to provide the vote that saved Obamacare after he had promised to end it? These are the Rinos of Arizona, totally lacking character or principles.

Nope. Lake was a terrible candidate who can't win in Arizona, but many people here treats her as some sort of a Messiah, who hasn't been elected to anything, nor has accomplished anything.

It is not just Az. All but four on the hill are part of the same criminal conspiracy with the democrats. There truly is only one uniparty on the hill. The R or D does not make any difference, they are all part the same criminal conspiracy. Trump is alone in this fight even if we have both the House and the Senate. Both sides are going to fight him tooth and nail for the next four years.

But of course it will be for “moral” reasons coming from “immoral” criminals working together against him. His battle has just begun... We haven’t seen anything yet. Before this is over we are going to be more pissed at our own RINOs up there than we were at the Democrats.

Kari is a great conservative, very intelligent. Remember, Jaun Mclain was a long term senator from Az. That says something about the republicans of Az.

“but many people here treats her as some sort of a Messiah.”

Wrong... Pure and simple... We treat her as >NOT< one of the immoral criminals with a fake R behind their name period.

You can support criminals if you like, but supporting immoral criminality over morality completely negates your right to even judge her.

Kari Lake would have been Governor if it wasn’t for that brazen move by Hobbs to incapacitate the voting centers in Lake’s districts on Election Day. She’s an excellent candidate and knocked out Gallegos in the debate.

“Be quiet please:-)”

My fault. I started it in another thread and brought her over here to show her an example of why we need to make a choice between morality or immorality within our own party.

It is time or we will never get our Republic back. We have one shot and there is no room for compromise. Hop on or get out of the way.

Fine, then deliver the clueless Kari Lake to the US Senate. I've been waiting for the last two years.

Worse than that... Our own establishment GOP THREATENED HER and then would not help fund her campaign. They would rather see Hobbs in there than Lake because she exposed their criminal threats against her. They stabbed her in the back.

She would be Governor if our OWN PARTY had not destroyed her chances. In fact I think they even helped the left steal the election...

Another reason that DJT should prevent Cornyn or Thune from Senate Majority leader.
