Last Stand for the Maricopa and Pima Cartels?
You did it to yourselves, so stop crying on X
Rachel and I know a lady named Heather Lappin. She’s a solid person who has forged a successful career in law enforcement, and despite her political engagement, keeps a low profile. I haven’t known her to be a “me, me, me” type. In fact, if you’re not from Tucson, there’s a good chance you’ve never heard of her.
Look what Heather almost did:
With nearly a half-million ballots counted, Heather came within 482 votes of becoming the first female sheriff in Arizona history. So much for progressivism, feminism, or whatever other isms leftists want to throw around. You may also connect the name Nanos to the pathetic efforts to find Nancy Guthrie, because it was the Pima County Sheriff’s Office on the job when the news first broke.
President Trump lost Pima County by 15.1%, so Lappin getting as close as she did was an incredible performance in its own right. When we were perhaps just one week into the ballot count, the race was even tighter, down to a margin of just dozens of ballots. I told Rachel, who had just been reelected, “there’s no way they let her win it.”
This was an assessment based on the fact that the Pima County Recorder, Gabriella Cazares-Kelly, is a corrupt activist posing as a county official. Rachel ran headlong into proof the county is knee-deep in mail-in ballot fraud, and I wrote about it in real time:
Because the life cycle of this ballot may give us a blueprint for what fuels the fraud-by-mail system, with or without the help of the United States Postal Service, which, through its union, supports Democrat candidates far and wide:
· A voter moves out of a county or state and files a change of address with the USPS. In the case of Rachel’s constituents, this was filed on September 18.
· The USPS updates the change of address in an internal database.
· Corrupt recorders may have access to this database, whether via spoon-fed or indirect means, which may or may not implicate the USPS.
· Someone at the recorder’s office may case the database for registrations that will not, by default, be voting in the county in the coming election because they are no longer associated with someone who lives in the county. The trick is to ensure they aren’t removed from the registration list in a timely manner.
But I must be the racist for not trusting the Pima Recorder, even though she’s got a totally aboveboard reputation (sarcasm intended) for being immune to the loyalty demands of wokeness:
Pima County, pound for pound, is just as corrupt as Maricopa County. The Grijalva crime family has embedded itself here for decades thanks to this well-known fact. If you want to know just how bad things were in Pima County in the 2020 quasi election, watch here. There were, quite clearly, far more fake ballots than would have made up the margin statewide for Trump even if nothing changed about Maricopa County.
But I’m not so sure Kristi Noem’s visit to Phoenix today has anything to do with what should happen in Pima County. Most people, thanks to folks like John Solomon, do think war drums on beating for a Fulton-style raid against the Arizona election cartel. From the looks of things, the local corrupt officials are on high alert, as well:
There’s former Maricopa recorder Stephen Richer, a “Republican,” crowing about how all the physical ballots are long gone. Liz Harris (God always bless Liz, the person who invited me to present at a meeting in which I met Rachel), reminded Richer he should still sleep with one eye open:
And did you know that the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors held an emergency meeting yesterday the media failed to report on?
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has God-level authority in Arizona’s largest county, which contributes more than 60% of all votes in statewide elections. Here are the five members of the BOS, which split 4-1 “Republican”:
Gallardo, the lone Democrat on the board, also happens to be the last surviving BOS member to have been in position at the time of the 2020 heist, which saw President Trump become the second Republican in 72 years to lose Arizona (and the first in that span to lose Maricopa County) in a presidential election - despite his record gain in net new votes both statewide and in Maricopa.
Jack Sellers won his race for BOS that year by less than 500 votes, and Bill Gates (not the global villain) held on by less than 3 percent. Of course, no one wanted to audit. There was also a mysterious fire at Clint Hickman’s (former BOS member) farm right after the election, which some believe may be connected to ballots, and Steve Chucri didn’t last long after the 2020 debacle after he was caught on a hot mic decrying the embarrassing nature of Arizona’s elections.
These four have been replaced by Supervisors McGee, Lesko, Stewart, and Galvin. Galvin is particularly obnoxious and fancies himself the future of the McCainite wing of the party, and Lesko has defrauded President Trump for years by posing as an ultra conservative MAGA firebrand. She sat there at one of my presentations in Maricopa County as a candidate for BOS in 2024, nodding along like a seal and taking pictures, just before getting into office and acting like she wanted to get something done with election integrity. All they’ve been doing together is harassing new Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap - a patriot and Freedom Caucus alum trying to clean up a mess that is nearly unfixable as the BOS strips him of one power after another.
If you know me and my way of analyzing the political terrain of this nation, you know I don’t jump easily at things. It is very rare for me to have to recant an assessment because I got too bullish - but there’s a reason the Maricopa Board is flipping out, and all the usual villains are in defense mode. We are a few election fixes, complete with consequences, and one Andy Biggs governorship (Karrin Taylor Robson dropped out yesterday) away from the Grand Canyon State trending just like the Sunshine State, and I’d say it’s long past time to run the Arizona election cartel into the ground.

I hadn't known that the fake ballots in Pima County alone would have given Trump AZ had they not been counted. Insane. And Richer gloats about "getting away with it" in Maricopa County? I hope Liz Harris didn't give them any ideas about destroying more evidence. I would love to see an FBI raid on both county's election offices.
From your lips to God's ears! When smarmy little Bret Baier called Arizona, with less than 3% of the ballots counted, we all knew the fix was in. It has been a long time coming but maybe, just maybe, there will be some kind of reckoning for what happened in 2020!
However, if Turtle Thune doesn't push through the SAVE Act, then it's all for naught, as the Democrats will take the House in November and all the investigations will immediately be stopped...and maybe that's exactly why the RINOs in the Senate are refusing to support it!
