Maricopa County Election Employees Seen Late at Night Using Flash Drives on Certified Equipment Ahead of Election Day – Maricopa Attempts Damage Control [2026]
Gateway Pundit ^ | 10/10/26 | Jordan Conradson

Maricopa County election employees are believed to have been seen tampering with voting equipment late at night this week, appearing to install or download something on election equipment that has already been certified for use on November 3.

The county claims that they were just “working on a legitimate election task, late into the night.” But according to Phoenix-based election watchdog group We the People Alliance, the employees left for the day at approximately 6:20 pm, then returned late at night around 9:08 pm until 11:15 pm.

Additionally, co-founder of We the People Shelby Busch tells The Gateway Pundit, “There are two flaws with the Maricopa County Election Department’s statement of transparency. First, they fail to disclose to the public what this ‘legitimate election task’ was that required occurring late into the night, and second, they indicate this can be viewed 24/7 by the public; however, the feed published by WTP USA does not appear to be part of the public feeds.”

One of the employees, We the People Alliance says, is Brian Ramirez, the same employee who was previously accused of deleting election files before voting machines were delivered to Arizona Senate auditors following the stolen 2020 election. The Gateway Pundit has not independently verified that Ramirez was involved in the latest incident.

So seize the equipment. If it checks out, no worries.

Or it could be they were removing something that was about to be discovered.

The machines definitely need to be reset, retested, and re-certified before the November election.

They could have just strolled in at noon, for all the difference it makes there.

None of the excuses make sense.

“County Supervisor Mark Stewart also said in a statement that the two employees were simply “trying to complete work before the weekend.” Notably, however, the two were seen on Wednesday night — days before the weekend.”

100% of companies do NOT allow flash drives to be connected to company computers.
They have been a known security weak point for 20 years.

Democrat Secretary of State “wins” election to Governor. What could go wrong?

The US needs a disembowelment penalty.

It could coincide with a flaying penalty, I’m not picky.

The electric chair and drugs for the death penalty just aren’t doing enough.

Move along....

Nothing to see here.

Just a couple of democrat operatives downloading a few hundred thousand bogus votes to hold in reserve in case they're needed after election day.

What I don’t get is how all these people are given their instructions. There has to be some kind of paper trail or communication record evidencing the coordination of various types of tampering that seems to be part of a scheme that repeats from one swing state Democrat hold out to another.

I can’t believe these Democrat operatives are so good at covert ops that their communications go completely unseen by law enforcement - unless LE is somehow involved - either as corrupt deep state actors, or (hopefully) as part of a Kash Patel led sting.

It would be so sweet f it was the latter.

However, I believe the majority is Republican on the board. A lot of shenanigans and it seems party affiliation does not matter in Maricopa County

In the case of flash drives, these are crucial to the despicable Dominion-type voting machines, as one of their "security" features is not being on a network.

Flash Drives are supposed to be strongly encrypted with documented chains of custody to transfer data from a precinct with the voting machines to a centralized system for a state or county (don't know which, but it might well be each individual county has its own iteration of this type of "Democracy Suite EMS Datacenter system:

So, there is no LAN or WAN that all of the election machines are hooked up to (even though one can see a modem connection there in that diagram) so that malicious entities cannot obtain access, and all of the precincts with voting machines are supposed to have a supply of encrypted flash drives which should have a strict chain of custody. Someone formally transfers (and the change of custody documented) signs them into a reserve for election. When needed, a designated person who knows the encryption password formally transfers (and the change of custody again documented) to take control of the encrypted drives, plugs them into voting machines, and transfers data from each voting machine.

Then those flash drives are formally transferred (and the change of custody documented) to a driver or courier to bring those flash drives from the precincts at voting locations to a collation center (presumably where the Dominion Democracy Suite EMD Datacenter servers and systems are) where another designated person signs them in and takes custody of those encrypted flash drives. Lastly, the custody is formally transferred (and the change of custody documented) to the person who plugs them in and takes the data off of them.

I assume (but don't know) that since these encrypted flash drives are considered "Election Documents) that they must be retained for a certain period of time post election. (There was a lawsuit in a few states, Massachusetts was one of them, where those flash drives and the machines were being reset and erased only days after the election, even though Massachusetts law stipulates that they must be saved for 22 months along with the actual physical ballots, counted on election day, stored in boxes, and stuck "Raiders of The Lost Ark" style in warehouses somewhere.)

Note that ballots from the hands of voters are "scanned" to create a ballot image, and physical ballots, once they are "scanned" when the voter feeds them into the machine, are never seen again. All calculations are performed on "ballot images".

Antrim County in Michigan summary had these flaws:

When you look at the Forensic analysis done on the Antrim County Dominion systems:

Link to Dominion Democracy Suite Antrim County Forensic Analysis Report

Allied Security Operations Group, LLC was hired to do the forensic analysis on the Dominion voting systems in Antrim Michigan after a rare judge granted legal access to the voting systems which allowed the plaintiff who was concerned his vote had not been counted (who, for ONCE, was deemed to have "standing" in an election case.) They were able to get the machines frozen and were able to take exact copies of the software, and examine the hardware.

As an IT person, I found that report astonishing. Some of the low-lights:

As an IT person, there is too much "apparent" ineptitude to be...ineptitude as the root cause. Especially those security logs that are missing. That is a red flag for me.

No hard drive encryption, no passwords on the SQL database is just leaving those systems wide, wide open for ANYONE with a knowledge of SQL to access the databases and do...anything. And then, the logs that showed various system and application access were erased.

Additionally, in the contest of flash drives, in addition to Antrim County in Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Colorado had issues with lost flash drives, and missing, spotty, or even non-existent chains of custody, and also, many people had access to the passwords in one or more of these places who should not have. (They did things like write the password on a piece of paper taped up near the flash drives!)

Democrat Secretary of State “wins” election to Governor. What could go wrong? My general feeling is that if a state is caught in election fraud perpetrated by a specific political party (proven) they should lose one Senator and one congressperson of the involved party for the next two election cycles. If the involved party has no Senators then they will lose two Congresspeople for the next two election cycles. Plus, the offending party will receive an automatic $1 million dollar fine.
