The Voter Reference Foundation had MUCH to say about Maricopa's malfeasance.
The Arizona Sun Times reported:
Gina Swoboda, executive director of Phoenix-based Voter Reference Foundation (VRF) discussed election problems and what to do about them recently on the Jenny Beth Show. Swoboda delved deeper into the problems that occurred during Maricopa County’s 2022 election, many which were caused or exacerbated by election officials, and the hurdles to fixing them.
She observed that switching from precinct voting to vote centers did not increase turnout as election officials claimed it would, which they did in order to convince voters the switch would be beneficial. Republican legislators ran bills that would have made precinct voting easier, she said, like holding voting on a school holiday so the schools could be used as voting locations, but the bills were unsuccessful.
“And then the pushback from advocates on the left end of the spectrum was, well, now you’re making it impossible,” Swoboda said.
“I’ve come to the conclusion after the last session of a legislature that the county election officials in the state of Arizona are not going to do anything to improve the Election Day process because they do not want to, because they do not have the will to continue to have in-person voting,” she said.
“They [Maricopa County] just do what they want,” she lamented. “ They’ve been not fully signature verifying those early in-person ballots.
She warned regarding election officials, “By not adhering to the law, they have the effect of changing the law on a whim, on their whim. And there’s no checks and balances with that.” Swoboda urged people to choose other county recorders and county supervisors in the next election in order to “effectuate change,” since the executive branch is not up for election in 2024. “There is no way to rationalize what took place in Maricopa in 2022,” she declared. “The gaslighting is profound. The refusal of the officials to acknowledge their failures is disgraceful.”
We found the same thing in our official inquiry.
But you know what the Maricopa cheaters hate? Sunlight.
Every day I am in the Arizona Senate, they cannot sleep safely. It is crucial I remain in office to fight for election integrity and against the lawbreakers and cheaters!
