2022 Election's Strange Coincidences In Arizona--and Elsewhere

The Democrats, mainstream media, and RINOs are complaining about voters’ concerns over election fraud, saying “we need to move on,” “quit living in the past,” and “no one cares about it as an issue, you’re hurting the Republican Party to continue focusing on it.”

There may be a grain of truth in all of that, but it’s outweighed by the fact that we may never get another Republican president into office and more states will turn blue if we don’t stop the fraud. 

Now the Arizona Attorney General is demanding answers from Maricopa County election officials after a number of voters were unable to cast their ballots on election day.

I'm not much into conspiracy theories, but good grief, this is beyond conspiracy and theory.

And it isn't only Arizona.

Be informed, not misled.

Rachel Alexandra, writing for the Salem-owned "Townhall" says, "There may be a grain of truth in all of that, [attempt to silence deniers] but it’s outweighed by the fact that we may never get another Republican president into office and more states will turn blue if we don’t stop the fraud."

Strange coincidences in Arizona.



She says, "No one really believes deep down that Arizona rejected four top Republican candidates — three who were leading in almost every poll, including MSM polls — considering the breakdown of voter registration in the state. Republicans have a four-point voter registration advantage over Democrats in the state as well as within Maricopa County. Republican candidates swept the rest of the races around the state, leading many to believe only those four top races, which featured all Trump-endorsed candidates, were deliberately targeted."

Other than those four key races, Arizona Republicans performed exceedingly well in the election, reminiscent of 2020 when only Trump (and weak Senate candidate Martha McSally) lost. The GOP flipped Arizona’s congressional delegation back to majority Republican, winning two open seats, took back a seat on the Arizona Corporation Commission that was lost in 2018, gained two seats on the Central Arizona Project board, kept both chambers of the Arizona Legislature, including getting an even more conservative Senate President, Warren Petersen. 

Numerous new conservative candidates were elected to school boards and the party appears almost certain to take back the superintendent of schools from the incumbent Democrat. Several of the candidates in those races, including a couple of legislative candidates who won, were endorsed by Trump. 

Voters are wondering how incumbent Republican State Treasurer Kimberly Yee received more votes than any of the other statewide candidates — about 100,000 more than Kari Lake — even though she had low name recognition, was not endorsed by Trump, didn’t get the base excited, and conducted a relatively quiet, uneventful first term.  It’s not because Yee didn’t have a significant opponent; State Sen. Martin Quezada is one of the most well-known and popular Democrats in the state. On the other hand, Lake brought out thousands to huge rallies and was considered a Trumplike sensation across the state, with huge name recognition due to being a longtime popular news anchor in the Phoenix market.

Alexandra notes that "Arizona law provides for a new election if there is evidence of illegal votes or a candidate did not receive enough to win. However, unless there is a super smoking gun, like a bad actor coming forward and admitting bribery — and who wants to do that and go to prison — the courts are not likely to do anything about it, as we’ve learned from previous experience."  

Sadly that's true. And the bad actors know it.

Arizona AG: "Maricopa County broke the law on election day."

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich is demanding answers from Maricopa County election officials after a number of voters were unable to cast their ballots on election day. Maricopa is the state's largest county and 25 percent of vote tabulation machines were not working on November 8, causing widespread voter disenfranchisement. According to the county, 70 voting locations were impacted.

"The Elections Integrity Unit ('Unit') of the Arizona Attorney General’s Office ('AGO') has received hundreds of complaints since Election Day pertaining to issues related to the administration of the 2022 General Election in Maricopa County. These complaints go beyond pure speculation but include first-hand witness accounts that raise concerns regarding Maricopa’s lawful compliance with Arizona election law," according to a letter written by the State Attorney General. 

"Furthermore, statements made by both Chairman Gates and Recorder Richer, along with information Maricopa County released through official modes of communication appear to confirm potential statutory violations of title 16," Brnovich wrote in the letter to Maricopa County Civil Division Chief Thomas Liddy over the weekend. 

"According to Maricopa County, at least 60 voting locations had issues related to some ballot-on-demand (BOD) printers having printer configuration settings that were non-uniform, which appeared to have resulted in ballots that were unable to be read by on-site ballot tabulators," he continued. "Based on sworn complaints submitted by election workers employed by Maricopa County, the BOD printers were tested on Monday, November 7 without any apparent problems. Many of those election workers report that despite the successful testing the night before, the tabulators began experiencing problems reading ballots printed by the BOD printers within the first thirty minutes of voting on Tuesday, November 8, 2022."

The facts detailed by Brnovich were admitted by Maricopa officials. 

"Due to the widespread problems in non-uniform printer configuration settings, many voters were unable to tabulate their ballots on Election Day using on-site tabulators. Instead, voters were instructed to deposit their ballot in 'Door 3.' According to statements by Chairman Gates, Recorder Richer, and Maricopa County official communications, 'Door 3' ballots---the storage for untabulated ballots--- were transported to Maricopa County Tabulation and Center to be tabulated by the HiPro 821 or Cannon G1130 tabulators at central count," the letter details. 

"Maricopa County appears to have failed to adhere to the statutory guidelines in segregating, counting, tabulating, tallying, and transporting the 'Door 3' ballots. In fact, Maricopa County has admitted that. in some voting locations, 'Door 3' non-tabulated ballots were commingled with tabulated ballots at the voting location," the letter continues. "Further, we have received a sworn complaint from an election observer indicating that more than 1700 'Door 3' non-tabulated ballots from one voting location were placed in black duffle bags that were intended to be used for tabulated ballots." 

The issues detailed by Brnovich could inhibit the ability to lawfully certify the 2022 midterm election results.

"Arizonans deserve a full report and accounting of the myriad problems that occurred in relation to Maricopa County’s administration of the 2022 General Election," Brnovich explains. "As the canvass is looming, and these issues relate to Maricopa County’s ability to lawfully certify election results – the Unit requests a response to the aforementioned issues on or before Maricopa County submits its official canvass to the Secretary of State, which must occur on or before November 28, 2022."

Meanwhile, Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has been featuring stories of voter disenfranchisement on her Twitter page for a week. 

Takeaway

We'll follow this over the next few days and keep you posted.

Rachel Alexander says, "Election fraud experts tell me it’s part of a plan by Democrats to take over states one by one. First, they started with states like California, Washington, and Oregon. They moved on to states like Colorado and Nevada. Arizona happens to be their latest target. One election fraud expert in California believes there are actually rather close numbers of Republicans and Democrats in that state, but due to years of election fraud there, no one bothers investigating anymore, allowing it to become rampant."

No one wants to talk about election fraud anymore because they risk being sued or even prosecuted, kicked off big tech platforms, or shunned by powerful Republicans with money, who are often referred to as RINOs due to their heavy conflicts of interest.
