Conservatives heaved a sigh of relief when Donald Trump was announced the winner of the presidential election, since most believed the left was going to cheat and steal the election again from him. While there was almost certainly cheating in the U.S. Senate race in Arizona between Kari Lake and no-name, open borders Ruben Gallego, as well as with Arizona’s abortion-till-birth Prop. 139, Trump was allowed to win the state and the six other battleground states. The common wisdom developing is the massive increase in observers watching this election compared to the 2020 and 2022 elections made the difference. Combined...

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...

The Gateway Pundit has obtained damning excerpts from Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer’s June 21, 2024, deposition transcript in his defamation lawsuit against Kari Lake and her husband, showing that Richer contemplated running for Senate to “make life hell for Kari Lake” and admitted that he is “anti-MAGA” shortly after the rigged 2022 election where 60% of voting machines failed on election day in Maricopa County. Of course, he made it clear to the public that he is anti-MAGA after he founded the Pro-Democracy Republicans dark money PAC to eliminate candidates with a MAGA agenda, admitted to voting for Democrats...

Election officials in Maricopa County say the county saw the largest single day of voter registration submittals in its history as it detailed final preparation and latest turnout numbers with less than 24 hours to Election Day. “We had people with entire trash bags full of voter registration forms in our lobby,” said Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, who noted that approximately 90,000 registration forms were sent in on the last official day to register to vote, Oct. 7.

Maricopa County officials just revealed that some of the 40,000 incomplete or damaged voter registration forms they received on registration deadline day included fraudulent registrations "Voter registration forms that tried to register Mickey Mouse, Jerry Seinfeld, Donald Duck, among others.

The upcoming Trump DOJ needs to prosecute every single bad actor...

PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Incumbent Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer has lost his reelection campaign to fellow Republican Justin Heap, according to projections from the Associated Press. Richer, one of the elected officials responsible for administering elections in Maricopa County, has become a pariah on the right to defend election integrity after several Republicans, including Donald Trump, Kari Lake, Abe Hamadeh, and Mark Finchem, claimed election tampering when they lost their respected races in 2022.

In a shocking episode of Save My Freedom, host Michele Swinick pulls back the curtain on the Nov. 8 election debacle, revealing disturbing evidence of systemic election fraud that mainstream media refuses to cover. Dubbed the “Infamous Door #3 Ballots,” this latest scandal is not just a case of bureaucratic bungling but an outright administrative insurrection against the American people. Door #3, where ballots were supposed to be securely processed, saw 12 precinct ballot reports with NO vote totals. That’s right—no vote totals recorded at all. Even more alarming, 7 other reports showed changed vote totals, raising serious questions about...

Kari Lake and Mark Finchem appealed their lawsuit to ban the use of electronic voting machines to the United States Supreme Court on Thursday. This comes after the 2022 election, where 60% of the voting machines were reportedly programmed to fail on election day, causing mass voter disenfranchisement and up to four-hour-long lines for Republican in-person voters. The filing includes “new allegations,” some of which were previously mentioned in Kari Lake’s lawsuit to overturn the stolen election, including: First, Maricopa did not conduct the required L&A testing, on which the district court relied to find the risk of election interference...

An Arizona judge on Wednesday denied 2022 Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake's request to review ballot envelope signatures, concluding it "would have a corrosive effect on public confidence in the electoral process." In September, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge John Hannah presided over a two-day trial to decide whether Lake's legal team could have access to review the ballot envelope signatures for the 2022 general election in the county. Lake lost the race to Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs by less than 1 percent of the vote. Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer denied the GOP candidate's request in April, prompting her...
