After Arizona election officials certified the results, the Republican candidate for governor declared that she would continue to battle for election integrity and warned the public that they would be startled by what she had learned.

After seeing what he called a “rigged and conflict-ridden” process, one independent journalist who had been on the ground for the preceding month wrote about his observations as well.

Jordan Conradson noted for Gateway Pundit that “Today, Maricopa County certified its rotten election, despite hours of witness testimony of wrongdoing and an extremely flawed election in the public comment portion of their meeting,” adding the following grounds of contention as he sees them:

Conflict #1: Katie Hobbs refused to resign from her position as Secretary of State overseeing her own governorship race.

Conflict #2: Steve Gallardo, a supervisor for Maricopa County, was a member of Katie Hobbs’ transition team while serving as co-chair of the Latinos for Katie Hobbs group.

“Honored to be part of Governor-Elect Hobbs transition team. I look forward to working with such a diverse group of Arizona leaders. #MovingArizonaForward,” On November 23, 2022, manager Steve Gallardo (@Steve Gallardo) published a tweet.

I’m pleased to announce my full administration transition team made up of public service, business, labor, & advocacy leaders from both sides of the aisle.

I look forward to working with these outstanding local leaders as we build an administration that works for all Arizonans. pic.twitter.com/mfejYSvYpX

Conflict #3: The Pro-Democracy Republicans PAC, a dark money PAC established to defeat politicians who support the MAGA agenda, was founded and run by Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, who also handled early voting.

Conflict #4: Bill Gates, the chairman of Maricopa County, openly supported Trump in the election.

Endorsed politicians, describing their primary victory as a “catastrophe” and declaring, “I think they are electable, which is frightening.”

Conflict #5 Katie Hobbs promised to sue any county which did not validate this election and give her the governorship. She has begun legal action against Cochise County for postponing certification.

Additionally, Bill Gates and Stephen Richer appeared in a Never-Trump campaign advertisement that attacked Trump-backed Republican candidates as well as the Maricopa County 2020 election audit’s backers.

These are the same individuals who were in charge of the unaccountable catastrophe on election day when voting machines and printers abruptly ceased to function as soon as the polls opened. Republican voters were made to stand in incredibly lengthy lines, were turned away from the polls, or were instructed to place their ballots in the dubious “box 3” for ballots that were misread.

The Gateway Pundit reported on the election day anomalies where Democrats had only 17% of the turnout.

The Arizona Attorney General’s office even outlined potential law violations and wrongdoing in a recent letter to Maricopa County. Maricopa County deflected the blame and told the Attorney General to pound sand in their response.

As The Gateway Pundit reported last week, Kari Lake dropped her first lawsuit against corrupt elections officials and indicated that more lawsuits were coming. According to the statute, certification must happen before these new lawsuits can move forward. CONTINUE READING…
