HUGE: Maricopa County Officials KNEW About Ballot Paper and Ink Concerns Before Arizona 2022 Election, Still Allowed 60% of Machines to Reject Ballots on Election Day – Elon Musk Responds!

Maricopa County machine failure locations in 2022 election.

As Arizona voters remember the rigged 2022 election, stolen by the corrupt Democrats and Trump-hating RINO Maricopa County officials, new details have emerged showing that Maricopa County officials were put on notice about potential tabulator issues but did nothing. 

As The Gateway Pundit readers know, the polls opened at 7 am on November 8, 2022, and 60% of voting machines in Maricopa County, where roughly 60% of the state’s voters reside, began rejecting in-person votes. This created four-hour wait times and disenfranchised the majority-Republican in-person voters at most of the voting locations across the county of more than 2.4 million voters.

Republican voters were told to place their ballots into a suspicious bin and trust that the ballot would be transported off-site to be counted by someone, but they had no idea what would really happen. It was chaos.

WATCH:

Roughly 17,000 ballots were reportedly dumped into a separate box to be counted later, but that number seems low when compared to how widespread the issue was. After election day and Maricopa County’s infamous weeks-long counting process, Trump-Endorsed gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake had her election stolen by roughly 17,000 votes, and Trump-Endorsed Attorney General candidate Abe Hamadeh’s election was stolen by only 280 votes!

The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on the evidence of illegalities presented in Maricopa County’s 2022 election. Video evidence shows that machine failures affecting tens if not hundreds of thousands of voters on election day were likely caused by intentional misconduct. Incorrect machine settings, printer settings, and ballot paper sizes utilized by Maricopa County caused machines at 60% of voting locations to fail on the day that Republicans turned out 3:1 to vote for Kari Lake and Republican candidates.

Maricopa County engaged in illegal machine testing after reprogramming the tabulators prior to election day. This testing was conducted without documentation or logging of tamper-evident seals in violation of the Elections Procedures Manual and the law. It was also conducted after the statutorily required October 11 testing, and the legally required public notice was not given. In video footage from October 14, the reprogrammed ballot tabulators can be seen jamming as employees test them, just as they did on Election Day.

Because of changes made to the voting systems before election day, “at least 8,000 misconfigured ballots were printed at 127 vote centers on Election Day,” and “vote center tabulators logged over 7,000 rejections every 30 minutes from 6:30 am through 8:00 pm.” Maricopa County does not dispute this accurate data, which was derived from their system log files. This information was presented by We The People AZ Alliance in an Arizona Senate hearing in 2023, along with evidence that tabulators rejected ballots nearly 250,000 times.

Then-Democrat Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, running for governor, oversaw her own election despite bipartisan calls to recuse herself from election administration duties. Hobbs was statutorily obligated to oversee and conduct additional tests on the illegal testing that Maricopa County conducted on October 14, 2022.

This is why she ran away and dropped an f-bomb at this author when confronted on the issue.

Maricopa County Claims Employee Was Removed After Kurt Olsen Plays BOMBSHELL Video of Signature Reviewer “Verifying” Signatures in LESS THAN 2 Seconds Each – Employee Seen Working Until The End of Signature Review

The Gateway Pundit also reported on Kari Lake’s 2023 trial, contesting the state's signature verification process for mail-in ballots. It was revealed that approximately 274,000 ballot signatures were compared to voter registration records and approved in less than three seconds each. Kari Lake’s attorney, Kurt Olsen, told the Court that  “eleven of the signature verification workers approved 170k signatures at a rate of less than 0 and 2.99 seconds with a 99.97% approval rating.” This data is proven by Maricopa County’s own log file data.

When The Gateway Pundit was allowed to inspect and reproduce images of the ballot signatures and compare them to voter registration records, it became extremely clear that Maricopa County did not accurately review or verify signatures.

Now, even more evidence of intentional misconduct or negligence on the part of Maricopa County has come forward.

As revealed by local GOP activist and EZAZ founder Merissa Hamilton, Maricopa County election officials were warned in 2022 that their election had vulnerabilities with ballot paper sizes, printer settings, and ink, but they did nothing. Later, the official narrative from the County during court proceedings was that printer settings caused 60% of machines to fail on election day.

According to emails obtained through a public records request, Former Maricopa County GOP Chairwoman Mickie Niland warned County election officials on October 31, 2022, "I'm feeling worried about sufficient paper and sufficient ink on election day," noting issues during the primary election months prior and asking "are you ready?"

On November 1, exactly one week before the election, County Elections Director Scott Jarrett assured Niland, 'We've been monitoring turnout and are prepared. We have plenty of ballot paper and normal 8 x 11-inch paper to print control slips. We also have sufficient toner and printer drums."

However, this was not the case, as Maricopa County later blamed paper, toner, and printer malfunctions for the chaos on election day.

"Maricopa County knew in advance their Election Day plan was set up for failure, and THEY LET IT FAIL!" Hamilton said on X. Elon Musk amplified her post by commenting exclamation marks, expressing his surprise.


Former Trump-Endorsed 2022 Arizona Attorney General candidate and current U.S. Rep. Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ) responded to the news, saying he "won’t forget what the corrupt cabal did to the people of Arizona."

Who knows what shenannigans they'll pull again in 2026?

On Wednesday, former Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Ben Carson, was sworn in as the national adviser for nutrition, health, and housing at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins shared that Carson’s role will be to oversee Trump’s new Big Beautiful Bill law, which aims to ensure Americans’ quality of life, from nutrition to stable housing.

Per USDA:

Today, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced that Dr. Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D., was sworn in as the National Advisor for Nutrition, Health, and Housing at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

“There is no one more qualified than Dr. Carson to advise on policies that improve Americans’ everyday quality of life, from nutrition to healthcare quality to ensuring families have access to safe and stable housing,” said Secretary Rollins.

“With six in ten Americans living with at least one chronic disease, and rural communities facing unique challenges with respect to adequate housing, Dr. Carson’s insight and experience is critical. Dr. Carson will be crucial to implementing the rural health investment provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill and advise on America First polices related to nutrition, health, and housing.

“As the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the first Trump Administration, Dr. Carson worked to expand opportunity and strengthen communities, and we are honored to welcome him to the second Trump Administration to help lead our efforts here at USDA to Make America Healthy Again and ensure rural America continues to prosper.”

“Today, too many Americans are suffering from the effects of poor nutrition. Through common-sense policymaking, we have an opportunity to give our most vulnerable families the tools they need to flourish,” said Dr. Ben Carson. “I am honored to work with Secretary Rollins on these important initiatives to help fulfill President Trump’s vision for a healthier, stronger America.”

On Sunday, Dr. Carson was one of the many speakers at the memorial service of the late TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk.

During the memorial service, Carson highlighted that Kirk was shot at 12:24 p.m. and then continued to share the Bible verse John 12:24, which reads, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.”

LEAKED MEMO: Deep State Prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia Claim There Isn’t Enough Evidence to Convict Comey Amid Reports of Imminent Indictment

On Wednesday evening, disgruntled officials in the Eastern District of Virginia leaked contents of a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey.

As reported earlier, former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia in the next few days.

Comey will reportedly be charged for lying to Congress in a 2020 testimony about whether he authorized leaks to the media.

Officials in the Eastern District of Virginia are still fighting to stop Comey from being charged after Trump fired US Attorney Erik Siebert.

President Trump last week fired Erik Siebert as the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia because he refused to bring charges against Letitia James, Comey, Schiff and others.

On Saturday evening, President Trump announced that he had appointed Lindsey Halligan – his personal attorney who defended him against the Mar-a-Lago raid – as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Now, with just days to go before the statute of limitations runs out to charge Comey for lying during a September 30, 2020 testimony, Lindsey Halligan is reportedly gearing up to indict Comey.

Prosecutors reportedly gave newly sworn-in Halligan a memo defending James Comey and explaining why charges should not brought against the fired FBI Director.

Per MSNBC’s Ken Dilanian:

Two sources familiar with the matter tell me prosecutors in the EDVA US attorney‘s office presented newly sworn US attorney Lindsey Halligan with a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey, because there isn’t enough evidence to establish probable cause a crime was committed, let alone enough to convince a jury to convict him.

Justice Department guidelines say a case should not be brought unless prosecutors believe it’s more likely than not that they can win a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.

Nearly 8 in 10 Voters Say the United States is in Political Crisis After the Assassination of Charlie Kirk

Nearly eight in ten voters believe that the United States is in a political crisis in the wake of the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk.

According to a Quinnipiac University national poll of registered voters released on Wednesday, a massive 93 percent of Democrats, 84 percent of independents, and 60 percent of Republicans said the nation is in a political crisis.

“The Kirk assassination lays bare raw, bipartisan concerns about where the country is headed,” Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy said of the poll results.

Quinnipiac reports:

Seventy-one percent of voters think politically motivated violence in the United States today is a very serious problem, 22 percent think it is a somewhat serious problem, 3 percent think it is a not so serious problem, and 1 percent think it is not a problem at all.

This is a jump from Quinnipiac University’s June 26 poll when 54 percent thought politically motivated violence in the United States today was a very serious problem, 37 percent thought it was a somewhat serious problem, 6 percent thought it was a not so serious problem, and 2 percent thought it was not a problem at all.

Nearly 6 in 10 voters (58 percent) think it will not be possible to lower the temperature on political rhetoric and speech in the United States, while 34 percent think it will be possible.

Over half, 54 percent, of voters believe the US will see increased political violence over the next few years. Another 27 percent said they think it will stay “about the same,” while just 14 percent believe it will ease.

A 53 percent majority also said they are “pessimistic about freedom of speech being protected in the United States.”

Surprisingly, a 53 percent majority also believes the current system of democracy is not working.

“From a perceived assault on freedom of speech to the fragility of the democracy, a shudder of concern and pessimism rattles a broad swath of the electorate. Nearly 80 percent of registered voters feel they are witnessing a political crisis, seven in ten say political violence is a very serious problem, and a majority say this discord won’t go away anytime soon,” Malloy added.

The vast majority, 82 percent, said the way that people discuss politics is contributing to the violence.

“When asked if political discourse is contributing to violence, a rare meeting of the minds…Republicans, Democrats, and independents in equal numbers say yes, it is,” Malloy said.

The survey was conducted from September 18 to 21 among 1,276 registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percentage points.
