Arizona’s ‘Fake’ Electors Are The Next Target.

An investigation launched by Arizona’s Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes is seeking another round of indictments against so-called “fake electors” in Arizona, or rather, people who believed former president Donald Trump won the state in 2020.

Mayes – who campaigned during the 2022 midterms on a pledge to investigate the Republican electors – assigned a team of investigators in May to consider charges against a group who lawfully contested the 2020 election results in Arizona. The investigators are said to have already made “direct” contact with the electors involved.

These so-called “fake electors” include current state representative Jake Hoffman, former state representative Anthony Kern, US Senate candidate Jim Lamon, the chairman of the Arizona GOP Dr. Kelli Ward, and Tyler Bowyer, CEO at the Arizona-based Turning Point USA.

Some of the potential charges the electors may face include forgery, tampering with a public record, and impersonating a public servant. These are not dissimilar to the charges brought against the 16 Michigan electors on Wednesday, which included forgery, conspiracy to commit forgery, and election law forgery.

The charges are not expected to be announced for some time as Mayes’s investigations are “not as far along as the federal one led by Jack Smith or Willis’ in Georgia.”

‘Drag Queens’ Rap About Anal to Small Kids at Arizona ‘Pride Party’.

Young children were in attendance at a “Pride Party” in Tempe, Arizona where drag queens twerked and chanted obscene “rap” lyrics about “rid[ing] me like a b***h,” being “all up on this d**k”, and “catch[ing] it when I pitch”.

Footage of the event shared on social media shows Brandon “RealXMan” Hale performing while small children and even infants can be seen in the audience, roaming the wider party. The event was organized and marketed by the City of Tempe itself, with Vice Mayor Jennifer Adams urging attendees to run for office during her speech.

The party had an overtly political character, with the Master of Ceremonies – another drag queen going by the name Barbra Seville – railing against “insane” conservative lawmakers.

“[W]e can call the shots, we can protect LGBTQ youth, we can protect trans people, we can protect people of color, we can make housing a priority, we can tackle things like guns in schools, but we can’t do it unless you all get involved and register to vote,” he said.

WATCH: Maricopa Election Officials Break into Sealed Voting Machines Ahead of Kari Lake Vote.

Video evidence has surfaced, showing multiple election machines being broken into after they were ‘logic and accuracy’ tested in Maricopa County, Arizona.

According to Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake‘s War Room, “[o]n October 14th, 17th & 18th, Maricopa County performed secret testing on the tabulators” after being tested.

There were 446 tabulators in Maricopa County, 260 of which failed. More than 59 percent of tabulators failed, yet used on election day.

Over a three day period, October 14th, 17th and 18th, they went in, broke the seals, removed the memory cards, and tinkered with the machines. The failing machines are believed to have been placed in Republican areas.

“Maricopa County did NOT Follow The Law. Instead, they ensured mass failure and chaos on Election Day,” argues Lake.

WATCH:

This follows recent video footage of Arizona counting ballots within three seconds or less with “a ludicrous 99.97 percent success rate.”
