2020 election denier wins GOP primary for secretary of state in Arizona
thehill ^ | 07/21/26 11:24 PM ET | by Caroline Vakil

Arizona state Rep. Alexander Kolodin, an election attorney, is projected to defeat former state GOP chair Gina Swoboda in the Republican primary to take on Secretary of State Adrian Fontes (D) in November, according to Decision Desk HQ.

Kolodin is best known for his efforts to contest the 2020 election results, with the State Bar of Arizona ultimately sanctioning him over the move.

In 2023, the Arizona state House Republican supported legislation alongside most of his GOP peers in both chambers that would have given counties the ability to hand-count ballots instead of tabulating them through machines. Some Republicans have suggested that machine tabulations aren’t reliable, though officials have pushed back against the idea.

Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs ultimately vetoed that bill.

The Grand Canyon State became ground zero for election denialism after President Trump baselessly claimed that he had won Arizona in 2020 against former President Biden.

That strand of election denialism has continued to flourish among a key contingent of the GOP base, with state Senate Republicans independently auditing the Maricopa County 2020 results, which ultimately confirmed Biden’s victory.

These azz-monkees at the Hill are so cock-sure that History is going to agree with the “”Election Denier” falsehood, they are desperate indeed because the lie is crumbling before their eyes

I wonder if every time they bring up Stacy Abrams, they call her a 2018 election denier , or Hillary Clinton the 2016 election denier

Really sick of the corrupt media and its labels. "Election Denier," "Far Right," "White Nationalist," etc.

I propose that from now on, we use the following adjectives when speaking or writing about leftists and globalists: "Far Left," "Baby Murdering," Muslim Rapist-Loving," "Child Mutilator Loving," "Economy Destroying," "Sexual Deviant and Pedophile Loving," "Criminal and Thug Loving," "Psycho Tranny-Loving," Nob-Gobbler Worshiping," "Chrisitian Hating," "Straight White Male Hating," "Traditional Family Hating," "Man Hating," "Woman Hating," "Human Hating," "Low IQ Turd World Migrant Loving," etc. etc. etc.

The Deep State Has Been Stealing Elections Around The World For 20 Years

Med Beds Have Been Produced And Running Since The 1970s

Musk Is Building A Home Med Bed For Public Use

Healthcare run by Big Pharma will never cure disease.

A nation run by the media will never know the truth.

A country run by banks will always be in debt.

A state run by war will never know peace.

Poor Hill has a case of the sads this morning.

Usually, I stay up and watch primary election returns. Last night I just left it up to God and fell asleep.

From what I can see, all Trump-endorsed candidates won their races.

LOL! Gotta laugh at the leftist “thehill” calling any questioning of the Steal “election denialism”.

Strange. They didn’t call it that in 2016 and thereafter when Democrats claimed Trump wasn’t duly elected. Nor in 2000 when they claimed Bush wasn’t duly elected. They only say that when its anybody questioning the obvious “81 million votes” massive fraud in 2020.

good one everyone needs to view this video if they are serious about elections:
https://x.com/Spanish_goats/status/2077952260382880225?s=20
its 28 minutes long but answers all the quesitons about why,how,when and where it all happened.
Its a dream video with answers to it all by a true patriot retired CIA guy who not only knew it all but lived it all.
Basically a cartel that owned Venezuela worth 2.7 trillion,not a typo,its trillion created the havoc and it took years to straighten it out.

Every State has Jersey voters. When the illegals stop voting, Democrats stop winning. Weird that.
