The Arizona Supreme Court has refused to revive the case against the state’s 11 fake electors who tried to help President Donald Trump overturn his 2020 loss, leaving its outcome at the mercy of the midterm elections. Last year, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes asked the state’s high court to reverse a trial court’s ruling that froze the case. Two years ago, an Arizona grand jury indicted 18 people who signed a document claiming to grant Arizona’s electoral votes to Trump on state fraud charges, including top Trump allies Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows. Also indicted were state Sen. Jake...

Washington Governor Bob Ferguson (D) stated Monday that the state government aims to “partner” with the anti-ICE groups illegally tracking and hounding federal law enforcement agents. The governor expressed support for the anti-ICE insurgency in his state just one day before the FBI launched an investigation into the Signal chat groups organizing the the anti-ICE insurgency in Minnesota. Ferguson held a press conference alongside Washington’s Attorney General Nick Brown (D.) to condemn ICE after two agitators in Minnesota were fatally shot by federal agents. Brown was widely criticized last month after he warned independent journalists to stop investigating alleged fraudulent...

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes wildly suggested that residents can open fire on masked ICE agents if they feel their life is in danger under the state’s self-defense laws. The Democrat, in a sit-down with 12 News anchor Brahm Resnik, warned that Arizona’s “Stand Your Ground” law, which allows citizens to use deadly force if they believe they’re in imminent danger, could become a “recipe for disaster” if protesters clash with immigration officers. “It’s kind of a recipe for disaster because you have these masked federal officers with very little identification, sometimes no identification, wearing plain clothes and masks,” Mayes...

Arizona’s Court of Appeals declined to take up AG Kris Mayes’ bid to revive the “fake electors” prosecution, dealing a major legal setback and leaving the case on precarious footing.

Charges have been dismissed against 15 Republicans who were hit with felony charges by Michigan’s far-left attorney general for objecting to the results of the 2020 presidential election. The case was one of several brought by state attorneys general in the lead-up t0 the 2024 presidential election. Similar cases were brought in Georgia, Arizona and Nevada after left-wing prosecutors accused them of committing forgery by serving as alternate electors. Charges against the Nevada electors were dismissed by a judge last year, while Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ case has long been paralyzed. On Tuesday, District Court Judge Kristen D....

A newly leaked phone call between Arizona’s Democratic statewide officeholders reveals how they scrambled to find a narrative before announcing a statewide error that validated the citizenship of nearly 100,000 voters. “It’s going to validate all of their theories about illegal voting in our elections,” said Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs on the call obtained by the Washington Post. “They’re going to be calling for new 2020 and ’22 elections as well,” Hobbs worried, referencing her own election that she rigged and stole from Kari Lake last midterm cycle. Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes admitted that “all of these elections are...

Five Republican committee members on a special House panel initiated impeachment proceedings against Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes on Friday. The lawmakers accused her of abuse of power, neglect of duties, and malfeasance in office. State Representative Jacqueline Parker (R-Mesa) (pictured above, foreground), who chairs the panel, announced the release of a 102-page report detailing these allegations, which has stirred significant political controversy. The impeachment report accuses Mayes (pictured above, background) of several impeachable offenses, including: Political Prosecutions: The committee found that Mayes targeted Cochise County Supervisors Tom Crosby and Peggy Judd with felony charges for their actions during the...

Arizona’s Democrat Attorney General says she will not enforce an 1864 law that was upheld by the state Supreme Court on Tuesday banning nearly all abortions. “The decision made by the Arizona Supreme Court today is unconscionable and an affront to freedom. Make no mistake, by effectively striking down a law passed this century and replacing it with one from 160 years ago, the Court has risked the health and lives of Arizonans,” Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (pictured above) said in a statement. “The Arizona Court of Appeals decision, which the Supreme Court has struck down [on Tuesday], was...

Cochise County Supervisor Tom Crosby, who sought to eliminate the use of voting machine tabulators in the 2022 election, delay certification, and conduct a hand count of ballots, received a grand jury summons from Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes earlier this month. The summons does not indicate what he is being investigated for, but he has tangled with Democratic officials over his concerns about election fraud.
