The leftists running Maricopa County’s elections apparently only care about equality when it benefits their agenda. State law in Arizona says that election official must hire an equal number of Republican and Democrat poll watchers.
But Maricopa County election officials disregarded the law and hired well over 100 more Democrats than Republicans for inspecting the elections in August.
Here’s more via Breitbart:
The Republican National Committee (RNC) is demanding answers from Maricopa County officials after they appointed fewer Republican poll workers than Democrats, despite a legal obligation to have an equal number of poll workers, according to a letter obtained by Breitbart News.
Arizona law requires election officials to hire “an equal number” of Republican and Democrat election inspectors at all voting locations.
However, Maricopa county, which was the focus of several lawsuits and a contested recount stemming from the 2020 presidential election, hired over 100 more Democrat poll workers than Republicans during its August primary elections.
While Maricopa county hired 857 Democrat poll workers, the county only had 712 Republicans.
In a letter sent to Maricopa County Attorney’s office, Eric H. Spencer, who works for a firm that represents the RNC with respect to oversight of Arizona election administration, demanded answers about the disparity in poll workers.
Although Maricopa County Republican Committee chairwoman Mickie Niland provided the county with a list of “several hundred” Republican poll worker names ahead of the primary election, the letter revealed that 11 vote centers ended up with no GOP election inspectors at all.
Spencer also highlighted a “significant disparity between political parties in the central processing boards utilized at the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center (MCTEC) during the primary.”
Only ten Republican poll workers ended up in the “receiving/inspection boards,” compared to 58 Democrats. This disparity would violate the state’s election procedures manual, which requires each central board to be “comprised of two members of different political parties.”
The RNC is requesting a written explanation as to why an equal number of Republican poll workers were not appointed for the primary and why the county did not utilize the list of names chairwoman Niland provided.
Further, the RNC requested any written documentation “that demonstrates the County’s efforts to hire Republican poll workers at the 11 voting locations in question.”
If this is any indication, it’s going to be 2020 all over again in Maricopa county. They clearly don’t care about Arizona law when it comes to winning elections and if there aren’t any serious consequences to their misdeeds, then they’ll just keep violating the law.
Given the violation here, the Governor and Secretary of State need to get involved and make sure this doesn’t happen again. Because this is how elections are stolen. We’ve seen time and time again in Dem cities all around the country that Republican poll watchers are either kicked out or not let in the facility. And we all know what’s going on when that happens.
