Arizona's "Lesser Magistrates" Scorecard Revealed

Topic: Elections

With so much to say about magistrates these days, I believe a scorecard for four Arizona counties is a relevant tool to better understand the thought processes of certifying a fraudulent election.

Maricopa County leads the way in corruption not only for the state of Arizona, but perhaps for the entire nation, as they are ground zero in back-to-back elections for maladministration and complete mortification.  Little needs to be said about our nation’s fourth largest county that hasn’t already been said, other than patriots should have already undertaken the task of breaking the county up into at least three smaller counties, freeing citizens from the grip of a corrupt supervisory board and a stranglehold on state power.

Yavapai and Mohave Counties certified their election results yesterday in keeping with the state’s November 28 deadline, although Mohave County did so under “duress.”

Mohave supervisor Ron Gould put it this way:
“I found out today that I have no choice but to (vote in favor of approving the canvass), or I’ll be arrested,” Gould said. I don’t think that is what our founders had in mind when they used the democratic process to elect our leaders, or some form of self-government. And I find that very disheartening.”

Supervisor Hildy Angius got in a solid body blow, blaming Maricopa County for creating an enormous shitshow that taints all of Arizona as a national embarrassment:“I suggest that in the coming months and years we work with our state legislature to make the changes we need, both for our county and for our state, and to make our voices heard.  Arizona - and that is Maricopa County - is the laughingstock of the country and the world. And they don’t even seem to care, which is even more frightening. I will vote to certify this canvass under duress for the chaos Maricopa County has forced into our election process.

What Gould fails to realize is that withholding certification as a form of “I will not comply,” even if met with arrest, would inject the type of energy into this entire nation that is needed to overcome the hostile power of the media and rogue governments, like Maricopa’s, which seeks to rule over the many from a very small place relative to the rest of the nation.  His resistance to such coercion would provide precedent for other “lesser magistrates” to stand up in the face of top-down, bureaucratic rule that tramples the standing of smaller counties.

Yavapai County wound up certifying the election on the grounds of there being no legal mechanism to withhold certification.  I’m not sure why we must constantly remind our representatives in government that there was also no precedent for the colonies leaving the Crown, but they did so anyway for the betterment of the coming American nation.  At some point, leaders in government are going to need to adopt the cavalry mindset of blazing new trails when it is already so apparent that existing methods of solving problems have ceased to exist.

Cochise County, aside from scattered lawsuits, is all that is left in the 2022 remediation reservoir.  They have continued to withhold certification of their election even in the face of harassment from Marc Elias, who could care less whether or not a county has a chance to scrutinize its own election results and decide, at their own level, how to proceed with the certification process.  If a rubber stamp is all that is required, why set dates for certification at all?

The Cochise County supervisors are properly fulfilling the role of the lesser magistrate in fending off top-down attacks on local governing authority.  They must be commended for their act of resistance no matter how Elias’s lawsuit pans out, and we must have more commissioners with this kind of audacity elected throughout the country where we can sneak them in.
