Different Maricopa County Board of Supervisors - Same Corruption
To cover its tracks on election malfeasance, the Board appears ready to oust Recorder Justin Heap.
Preliminary Call to Action
Melt the lines of communication down at the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors:
I cannot overstate how incredibly naive I was in November 2020, when I was an unknown commodity working as part of a small team readying challenges to the “results” of the recently concluded quasi election that eventually ousted President Donald Trump. Maricopa County was filthy, and I had very primitive receipts to prove it. Here is a slide I made that very month, before the ink had even dried on certification:
Biden’s gains in Maricopa County were so impossible I just knew once I got all my analysis done, that a four-to-one Republican majority on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (MCBOS) would make sure Arizona went to the right guy. Here is how the Board stacked out in November 2020:
District 1 - Jack Sellers (R)
District 2 - Steve Chucri (R)
District 3 - Bill Gates (R)
District 4 - Clint Hickman (R)
District 5 - Steve Gallardo (D)
I began to contact every one of them (Gallardo excluded), but heard nothing but crickets. I guess it makes sense - Sellers was elected (or “elected”) by just 403 votes (ballots?) out of 424,531 counted. Why would he want to look into that mess? Bill Gates didn’t run much better, winning reelection by just 1.5% on 367,764 counted after having run uncontested in 2016. I knew there had been a McCain faction grudge over Trump in 2016, but I didn’t think it would linger on to taint the Keep America Great reelection campaign with Democrats gunning for an extremely rare flip of Arizona.
The Board, along with Uniparty recorder Stephen Richer, who beat Adrian Fontes (the current Arizona Secretary of State) for the job in the 2020 quasi election, spent four long years mocking anyone who came to their hearings to question the integrity of the county’s elections. Fortunately, Rachel’s House colleague Justin Heap smoked Richer in the 2024 GOP Primary and then went on to win the office outright in the General Election a few months later, putting Maricopa County on track to finally have some progress made on handling the filthy voter rolls and making headway against the corruption - which figures prominently in my forthcoming book, The American War on Election Corruption. You can read about some of Heap’s 2025 goals in this article:
Heap has been waging war with the MCBOS for a year over them taking away much of his authority. The delegation of authority over elections is supposed to look like this:
True to the division of responsibilities, Heap has been faithfully executing the duties of his office, primarily with regard to list maintenance (over 240,000 registrations cleared) and doing what he can to police the mail-in balloting issues that have plagued the last four election cycles.
Now, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors is laying the groundwork to remove Heap from office.
This is the current rogues’ gallery making up the MCBOS:
To his credit, Mark Stewart (who ran Sellers off in the 2024 GOP Primary) seems to be waffling on the idea, but this hasn’t stopped other members, primarily McGee and Lesko, from dangling the obscure Arizona Revised Statute 11-253:
A. The board may require any county officer to make reports under oath on any matter connected with the duties of his office, and may require the officer to give such bonds or further bonds as may be necessary for the faithful performance of his respective duties. An officer who neglects or refuses to make the report, or to give the bond within ten days after being so required, may be removed from office by the board and the office declared vacant. The board may then fill the vacancy.
Lesko has been a provocateur in recent weeks over her dispute with Heap, who contends the MCBOS has done nothing but strip his office of power and oversight into the county’s miserably corrupt elections system. Here she is taunting him on X:
Lesko, who feigned interest in one of my presentations in mid-2024, has publicly stated Heap has refused to cooperate with the board, won’t answer inquiries into concerns that have reportedly been raised, and has deceived the public. Never mind the fact that Heap answered two hours of questions last week about signature verification:
This is not the latest clickbait fear scam - the internal buzz within the grassroots GOP is that threats to remove Heap from office using the little-known statute are valid and could be acted upon as soon as Wednesday, February 18, when Heap is on the spot to testify before the MCBOS over their latest laundry list of elections issues.
So What?
The Trump administration should act with utmost urgency to shatter the election corruption in Maricopa County; the MCBOS senses the urgency of the moment and appears ready to oust Heap and perhaps stoop so low as to appoint Richer into the role with a critical election cycle already underway.
If you remember the Liz Harris debacle, there is already a matter of precedent for the powers that be in Arizona politics to oust those who won’t shut up about the issues voters care about the most. If the MCBOS tosses Heap, then there is no limit to which corrupt governing bodies will go to subvert the will of the people.
