Original video. Trailer. Even judges can’t hide the truth forever. Anyone in office in AZ, who is opposed to securing our elections, should be taken out of office!!! IMUO, that includes everyone who voted to expel Liz Harris who introduced bills which would have secured our elections. The bottom line: Maricorruption County has gotten away with corrupting our elections for years. Then in 2022 we allowed Kattie Hobbs to run HER OWN election. How would ANYONE expect that election to be free of fraud???

Arizona Freedom Caucus to Lead Charge Against ‘Extremist’ AG Kris Mayes After Indictment of Cochise County Supervisors

Original article.

, Tom Pappert

Arizona State Senator Jake Hoffman (R-Queen Creek) released a statement on Thursday revealing the Arizona Freedom Caucus plans to vigorously oppose Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes’ prosecutions of Cochise County election officials, and told The Arizona Sun Times he expects near-unanimous support in the state legislature.

Mayes’ office on Wednesday announced the indictments of Cochise County Supervisors Tom Crosby and Peggy Judd, who are both Republican, after they briefly delayed certifying the county’s 2022 midterm election while they investigated possible illegal activity. Mayes, who narrowly won the state’s attorney general election in 2022 by just 280 votes, claimed in a statement that Crosby and Judd were attempting “to undermine” Arizona’s “democracy” with the short delay.

In a statement posted to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, Hoffman accused Mayes of being an “extremist” engaged in election interference with the aim of chilling “future efforts by local election officials to challenge potentially inaccurate election.”

According to Hoffman, the message behind Mayes’ prosecution is, “tow the executive branch’s line or we will politically persecute you and throw you in jail.”

Hoffman, who founded and leads the Arizona Freedom Caucus, wrote that the lawmakers “will be looking at every possible option to make weaponizing our state’s government and abusing Executive power as painful as humanly possible” for Mayes and her office. Hoffman wrote, “This includes legal action, budget, [Oversight and Investigations], statutory, and everything else up to and including impeachment.”

He also urged other county election officials and Arizona’s sheriffs to oppose the prosecution or expect similar reprisals from Mayes over other partisan issues, particularly illegal immigration.

In a Thursday phone call to The Sun Times, Hoffman confirmed the Arizona Freedom Caucus will consider “all available opportunities” to stop what he described as an executive branch teaming with power abuses, promising oversight for Mayes’ office, as well as the offices of Governor Katie Hobbs (D) and Secretary of State Adrian Fontes (D).

“We want to make sure the entire executive branch is fully aware that there will be harsh penalties from the legislative branch,” Hoffman noted. “We are coequal, and our job is to check the power of each other. That includes oversight, investigation, budgetary actions, and statutory laws. “

Hoffman called the prosecution a “clear shot across the bow of local officials,” warning them not to “step out of line with Democratic dogma.” Hoffman said Mayes sent the message that government officials who refuse to comply with Democratic demands will be politically prosecuted and “thrown in jail.”

“This is exactly what we’ve seen from the corrupt Biden administration, and the weaponized Department of Justice in Washington, D.C.,” Hoffman told The Sun Times. He added that it is unfortunate Mayes, Hobbs, and Fontes “are trying to export that corrupt model and bring it to Arizona.”

Hoffman continued, “The Arizona Freedom Caucus says, ‘Over our dead bodies. We will stand in your way at every juncture to ensure you do not corrupt this state.’”

Asked whether he expected the Arizona Freedom Caucus’ efforts will receive wider support from Arizona Republicans, the group’s founding chairman seemed certain.

“Legislative Republicans are fed up with the continuous overreach of executive power in Arizona right now,” Hoffman added. “I am confident that we will have many Republicans, if not unanimous support, in the capitol,” declaring Arizona Republicans are “ready to push back in some form.”

If the prosecution continues, and Crosby and Judd are found guilty, they could face prison sentences ranging from six months to 2.5 years each. A trial is scheduled for May 24, 2024.

BREAKING: Arizona Grand Jury Indicts Cochise County Supervisors With Bogus FELONY CHARGES for Alleged Interference with an Election Officer and Conspiracy

Original article.

Arizona AG Kris Mayes

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) announced on Wednesday that a grand jury indicted Republican Cochise County Supervisors Tom Crosby and Peggy Judd on felony charges of Interference with an Election Officer and Conspiracy.

Judd and Crosby are accused of a conspiracy to “delay the canvass of votes cast in Cochise County in the November 2022 General Election” by “preventing the canvass of votes from Cochise County from occurring during the time period required by Arizona law.” In a news release from the Arizona Attorney General’s office, Kris Mayes accuses the Supervisors of “attempt[ing] to undermine our democracy.”

This is because they attempted to conduct a hand count audit of the ballots in the rigged 2022 election — after receiving advice from former Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich that “The board is permitted to perform an expanded hand count audit of 100% of early ballots cast in Cochise County.” Supervisor Peggy Judd told The Gateway Pundit, “If we still had our old Attorney General, this never would have happened.

This is what you get for attempting to secure elections in Arizona…

The Gateway Pundit reported that Supervisor Crosby was the subject of an October 16 grand jury subpoena over his opposition to stolen elections.

Hamadeh: AG Mayes a ‘Third World Dictator’ For Punishing Cochise Supervisors Over 2022 Election

Original article.

November 29, 2023, ADI Staff Reporter

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes

GOP candidate Abe Hamadeh condemned his former opponent, Attorney General Kris Mayes, as a “third world dictator” for punishing two Cochise County supervisors over their slight delay in certifying the 2022 election results.

On Monday, Mayes indicted Cochise County Supervisors Peggy Judd and Tom Crosby with felony charges of election officer interference and conspiracy.

“Third world elections lead to third world dictators,” said Hamadeh. “Mayes is a fraud, she didn’t receive the most votes — and she knows it.”

The conspiracy and election officer interference charges — both class five felonies — each carry a sentence ranging anywhere from six months to 2.5 years and up to a $150,000 fine.

Mayes accused Judd and Crosby of “undermin[ing] democracy” for hesitating to certify the 2022 election.

“The repeated attempts to undermine our democracy are unacceptable,” said Mayes. “I took an oath to uphold the rule of law, and my office will continue to enforce Arizona’s elections laws and support our election officials as they carry out the duties and responsibilities of their offices.”

Mayes is punishing the two supervisors even though in 2020, Pima County Supervisors Ally Miller and Steve Christy voted against a canvass of the results of the November 2020 General Election.

At that time, the two supervisors cited concerns that the certification of results would be part of a larger pool of certifications coming out of the state of Arizona and across the country of an election in which instances of fraud had been alleged.

Supervisors Miller, Christy Vote Against 2020 General Election

Sen. Wendy Rogers insisted that the indictment should be a “badge of honor” for Judd and Crosby. Rogers accused Mayes of “jackbooted thuggery.”

Crosby doesn’t intend to resign, per his attorney.

Judd and Crosby fought to conduct a hand count of the general election ballots cast in the county, citing concerns over the voting machines, and in so doing voted to delay certification past the deadline by three days. Then-Secretary of State, now governor, Katie Hobbs sued over the delay.

Despite receiving the green light on the hand count from then-Attorney General Mark Brnovich, the supervisors’ efforts were thwarted by the courts and resistance from former Elections Director Lisa Marra, who resigned in January.

Marra received a $130,000 settlement payout over claims of a toxic work environment.

Marra wasn’t out of a job for long — Secretary of State Adrian Fontes gave Marra the position of Deputy Director of Elections in March. Even with Marra on board with her 10 years of expertise, Fontes’ office has yet to come up with a process for cleaning the voter rolls of over 78,000 noncitizens or nonresidents.

Cochise County Supervisor Files Response to Maricopa County’s Motion to Dismiss His Lawsuit over Signature Verification, Cites New Precedent

Original article.

 Rachel Alexander

Cochise County Supervisor Tom Crosby, who attempted to conduct a hand count of ballots during the 2022 election and delayed the certification of election results, filed a response to Maricopa County and other defendants’ Motion to Dismiss his lawsuit over the election on Sunday. Crosby’s complaint, which asks the court to decertify the election, accused the county of not using voters’ original signatures as required by statute on their voter registrations to compare their ballot affidavit signatures to, something Yavapai Superior Court Judge John Napper ruled in September was illegal.

Napper stated in his decision, denying a motion to dismiss by defendants in Arizona Free Enterprise Club v. Fontes, “Here, the langu[ag]e of the statute is clear and unambiguous. The statute requires the recorder to review the voter’s registration record.” The county used other signatures from voters instead, signatures which didn’t require accompanying photo identification.

The case is assigned to Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Susan Pineda, who was appointed to the bench by Democratic Governor Janet Napolitano.

Crosby’s response, which was drafted by attorney Ryan Heath and made on behalf of a second plaintiff as well, David Mast, said, “This case squarely presents the question of whether State laws that govern consistency in our elections mean what they say — or whether they are meaningless guidelines to be tossed aside based on the whims of those in power.”

The defendants’ motion to dismiss, which was joined by multiple Arizona officials named as defendants including Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs, asserted that comparing voters’ signatures on their ballot affidavits to their signatures on other documents was a small “procedural” violation and insignificant. However, the response pointed out that the law states that this type of error is “non-technical,” and it is a nondiscretionary law.

A.R.S. 16-550(A) says, “Except for early ballots tabulated as prescribed in section 16-579.02, on receipt of the envelope containing the early ballot and the ballot affidavit, the county recorder or other officer in charge of elections shall compare the signatures thereon with the signature of the elector on the elector’s registration record.”

This is also laid out in the state’s Election Procedures Manual (EPM). Violations of the EPM are a class 2 misdemeanor.

The complaint was a Writ of Mandamus, which is a request to order the government to do something it is supposed to do but has failed to do. It laid out why a Writ of Mandamus is appropriate: “[M]andamus relief is available for two reasons. First, Maricopa County deviated from Arizona law and the EPM without any discretion to do so and, second, Plaintiffs had no way of knowing about Maricopa County’s deviation from Arizona law and the EPM until May of 2023 and, thus, A.R.S. §§ 16-672 and 16-673 are inadequate remedies as a matter of law.”

The response cited the decision by Yavapai Superior Court Judge John Napper rejecting a Motion to Dismiss the Arizona Free Enterprise’s lawsuit against Secretary of State Adrian Fontes on the same subject.

“Registering your child to play in a soccer tournament is not the same thing as the child playing in the tournament,” Napper said in his ruling. “Registering to attend law school is not the same thing as attending classes. Registering to vote is not the same thing as voting. Applying the plain and obvious meaning of ‘registration,’ the legislature intended for the recorder to attempt to match the signature on the outside of the envelope to the signature on documents the putative voter used to register.”

The complaint noted that the critical difference between a signature on a voter registration form and another document was that the former was required to provide identification, including proof of U.S. citizenship.

Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer claimed that the EPM allows election workers to replace the voters’ signatures on record from the registration forms with their signatures on mail-in ballots. But the EPM, the response noted, actually states that only signatures accompanying in-person ballots may be used to update the voter registration signatures. When people vote in person, they are required to show identification.

The response acknowledged that the EPM permits signature verification workers to examine other signatures for voters, but only in addition to their voter registration signatures, not in place of them.

The defendants claimed the lawsuit was barred by laches, meaning it was filed too late since the plaintiffs already knew the county would compare the signatures to others. The county said its Elections Plan “gave clear notice that the verified historical signatures to be used for comparison could derive from ‘voter registration forms, in-person roster signatures and early voting affidavits from previous elections.’”

However, Crosby said that the plan did not clarify that the county would use the mail-in affidavits, not the in-person voting affidavit signatures. It was also not untimely as an election contest either, Crosby said, because it wasn’t an election contest. “Rather, this novel suit seeks to vindicate Plaintiffs’ rights to free and fair elections secured by the Arizona Constitution,” he said.

Another argument the defendants made was that decertifying the election would disenfranchise many voters. Crosby responded, “This argument is ironic, however, given that Maricopa County’s conduct resulted in hundreds of thousands of illegal votes being counted in the Contested Races — each of which proportionately diluted the strength of all legal votes in Arizona.”

The brief said, “Consequently, County Defendants included hundreds of thousands of illegal votes, affecting the results for the Contested Races.” It cited the standard established in law by the landmark Miller v. Picacho Elementary School case, “When a non-technical statute is violated, and the violation renders the results of any election mathematically ‘uncertain,’ the results from the uncertain election must be set aside.”

The response also cited Reyes v. Cuming, a similar case involving illegal votes where the final court found that even though it would be “impracticable” for the elections department to comply with the signature verification statute fully, instead of just “substantial compliance,” “it does not excuse the complete noncompliance with this nontechnical statute. … Indeed, “[e]lection statutes are mandatory, not ‘advisory,’ or else they would not be law at all.”

Crosby emphasized that it’s not required to show fraud in order to overturn an election.

He said, “In Miller, the Arizona Supreme Court ‘established that an individual challenging an election need only show that absentee ballots counted in violation of a non-technical statute changed the outcome of the election [or rendered it ‘uncertain’]; actual fraud is not a necessary element.’ In other words, the absence of tangible ‘evidence that any ballots were cast by persons other than registered voters is irrelevant.’

Based on how many signatures were verified in Maricopa County, “it is highly plausible that hundreds of thousands of votes were illegally tabulated in Maricopa County,” the brief said.

Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes, one of the named defendants, is prosecuting Crosby and Cochise County Supervisor Peggy Judd over their attempts to conduct a hand count and delay certification of the 2022 election.
