What's Going On? Maricopa County Recorder Makes Strange Move Amid Controversy Over Arizona's Slow Ballot Count
Western Journal ^ | November 8, 2024 | Randy DeSoto

Posted on 11/09/2024 6:01:31 AM PST by george76

Maricopa County, Arizona, Recorder Stephen Richer deleted his X account Thursday with hundreds of thousands of ballots still to be counted.

The county’s slow reporting of election results has raised concerns — that the delay is allowing room for foul play.

Lake was tied with or had taken a slight lead over Gallego in multiple polls going into Tuesday’s election

..

RCP average only had Republican Donald Trump ahead in the state by 3 percent, but he currently has a 6.1 percent lead over Democrat Kamala Harris in the actual results.

So the average of surveys underrepresented Trump’s support by around 3 percent. If the same held true for Lake, she would be in the lead over Gallego.

...

77 percent of the votes are counted with hundreds of thousands yet to be tallied.

...

Maricopa County estimates another 472,000 ballots must still be counted.

...

The recorder came under intense scrutiny when voting machines malfunctioned on Election Day 2022 throughout Maricopa County, and Lake ended up losing her governor’s race to Democrat Katie Hobbs by less than one percent of the vote.

Republicans tend to vote on Election Day more than Democrats in Arizona.

...

Richer was further criticized for co-founding a political action committee with then-chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Bill Gates ahead of the 2022 elections to in effect oppose candidates who aligned with Trump, which Lake had.

...

The ballot drops are at a stand still. What is going on?”

...

Lake campaign co-chair Floyd Brown wrote on X in response to a request for a status update regarding Maricopa County from Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton, “They won’t tell us how many people have voted, much less how they voted. No transparency, no accountability.”

Trump needs to announce an audit of the AZ senate race. Put the Dems on the hot seat. “You risk the exposure of our world”.

Katie Hogg probably told them they better figure out how to keep Arizona “blue” or else they’ll be shoveling turds out of the barn from now on. The hos and the Arizona girlymen are running Arizona now.

“The ballot drops are at a stand still. What is going on?”

What’s going on is, most likely, that the ballot drops were helping Lake’s vote totals more than Gallego’s.

And thus, they needed to be stopped!

Arizona is a mess. In large part due to the influence of the now dead John McCain and those ideologically aligned with him.

Meaning Democrats, RINOs, and Deep Staters.

Does anybody know if Lara and the RNC lawyers are deployed down there? I haven’t heard anything from that side of the equation, like we did for Pennsylvania.

Gallegos has Pritzker’s Chicongo Mafia working for him. The fat greaseball Pritzker has kicked in his kamikaze insurrection coup on Trump. He’s Chicongo’s newest billy badass.

I believe it was during this election. He is a lame duck, but still a dangerous one.

I’m guessing that the McCain wing of the AZ GOP is perfectly fine with this one being stolen.
