Authorities in Maricopa County, Arizona, have started investigating allegations of election fraud related to the 2022 election as of last Friday.
County authorities announced that Ruth McGregor, a former judge of the Arizona Supreme Court, has offered to lead the “independent” campaign. McGregor wrote a year-end piece for the penitentiary report. He formerly served on Arizona’s top court. McGregor’s career as a judge spanned from 1998 until 2009.
It was reported that McGregor had promised to bring in “independent experts to find out why the printers that read ballots well in the August Primary had trouble reading some ballots while using the same settings in the November General,” according to a statement released by Maricopa Board of Supervisors chairman Bill Gates and vice chairman Clint Hickman. The citizens of this country are hungry for change.
Arizona’s most populous county, Maricopa, experienced problems reading ballots at more than 70 of 223 polling locations on Election Day, November 8. Scanning machines failed to pick up on the existence of voter information due to insufficient “timing signals,” according to the Associated Press.
Some voters in Maricopa County were disenfranchised because of a printing error. The county responded to a request for details from then-Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich in November by saying that those affected may cast absentee ballots. Some of the aspirants had reason to be worried after that.
The Democratic candidate for governor, Katie Hobbs, defeated the Republican contender, Kari Lake. Lake immediately launched legal action as the results were made public. Maricopa County election officials, Lake claims, allowed “hundreds of thousands of illegitimate ballots to poison the election” to suppress voter turnout. Lake intends to appeal the court’s decision to throw out his case because the faulty ballot printers resulted from malice.
On hearing the announcement of the investigation, Republican candidate for Arizona attorney general Abe Hamadeh tweeted, “Maricopa County, Pinal County, what else?” Democracies thrive when people have access to information; thus, getting this message out to the public is essential.
This Thursday, after the polls had closed, Hobbs and the other election victors took their oaths of office.
