Anyone claiming early voting trends are pointing to a particular outcome is probably: 1. An election denier setting the stage for another round of some b.s. stolen election narrative. 2. An operative working for or against a candidate. Stay the course. Vote.

Replying to @azjustinheap
@azjustinheap if it was a waste of time, why exactly did you forward those voters to be investigated? Why did your office not reach out to the county attorney or the board of supervisors to assist in confirming their registration status before submitting that referral? And why did your office continue a lawsuit you agreed was without merit? Can you provide an explanation to the taxpayers of Maricopa County whose tax dollars now have to go to fund the cost of that lawsuit? Because, frankly, your attempt yo spin this as a victory is as unconvincing as it is absurd. I know you may have to check with @SamThePol since he’s the one who runs the office on the many, many, many days when you don’t bother showing up. Maybe you can check with Sam on what is actually going on in the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office and get back to us about how your repeated failure to work with anyone who isn’t willing to step and fetch for you is costing taxpayer money from the people of Maricopa County and badly need credibility from the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office

This is an important op-ed recognizing the vital public service provided by our election workers. ​For years, election deniers and their bots have amplified outlandish conspiracy theories in a deliberate effort to foster fear and intimidation. Their goal is to sow chaos and manufacture doubt in our democratic process. ​The paid staff and volunteers who run our elections deserve our gratitude, not this hostility. azcentral.com/story/opinion/…

Let’s check the actual facts:
🚨🚨🚨🚨This means it's pretty much over for the Democrats in Arizona this election unless they engage in the most blatant obvious cheating. I've lived here half my life, was the former Maricopa County Elections attorney, and have NEVER seen Republicans equal the Democrats with ballot returns before an election, because they are more likely to vote in person on Election Day than Democrats. And I just heard Republicans are now ahead. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

As a 24 year Tempe resident, I never thought I'd see the day where my legislative representation is aligned with... the AZ Free Enterprise Club? A far right group that has repeatedly tried to restrict ballot access & only supports election-denying grifters. NO on 144, YES on 424.

Justin Heap is lying to YOU, again. Back in *February* he declared these 25 US citizens as “non-citizens”, patted himself on the back. He made this allegation against 137 folks but ONLY 8 turned out to have voted illegally. Today, Justin is spinning a sad 8-month episode’s ending
For four weeks, AG Kris Mayes refused to provide the citizenship verification we requested. Then, in court, she provided exactly what we had asked for all along—and dismissed her lawsuit. All 24 voters have been restored. We stood firm, did our duty, and upheld Arizona law.

What an embarrassing fool this guy is. Bro needs to loosen his corset and DO HIS FUCKING JOB. 2028 can't come soon enough. It will be the year we finally rid ourselves of authoritarian election deniers like Heap, and their enablers, like @MarkStewart_AZ.

It's almost as if they have no real core beliefs, but are a combination of would-be fascists and opportunistic grifters.
Could you imagine if @Adrian_Fontes unilaterally decided to disenfranchise dozens of US citizens? The election integrity buffoons would (rightly) go ballistic. Yet they are giving @azjustinheap a total pass. All of a sudden it’s totally cool to screw over Americans.

Has @MarkStewart_AZ said anything? At what point does it become embarrassing? Disqualifying?
If you’ve lost count on how many of Justin Heap’s elected colleagues have called him out for lying, I don’t blame you. He’s a serial liar. Now, Republican county attorney Rachel Mitchell is calling out Heap for blocking US citizens from voting.

I asked a reporter why they haven't reported that I have received every major law enforcement endorsement. She said her editor wouldn't let her. I appreciate her honesty. But it shows the sad state of where AZ media is. We made history. A challenger to the sitting AG received every major law enforcement endorsement and they don't report it. If a Republican AG was the incumbent and the Democrat challenger received every major law enforcement endorsement, you would hear about it 24/7 and in every story about the race.

Unfortunately, some of the very individuals who claim to champion election integrity are the same ones willing to go to extraordinary lengths to spread false and misleading information and make it more difficult for eligible U.S. citizens to exercise their fundamental right to vote.
She...she doesn't understand that there was an investigation into these registrants and it was determined they were citizens.

Today, I sent a formal letter to @AZAGMayes requesting an immediate investigation into Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap’s Office over misleading Election Day information and reports of eligible U.S. citizens improperly designated as ineligible voters. With Election Day approaching, voters deserve accurate information, transparency, and accountability. The right to vote must be protected.

I'm not sure asking every vote be counted, or expecting the @RecordersOffice do their job with any semblance of competency is "election denying," but I defer to your expertise.

Boy @votewarren has to be annoyed at @azjustinheap @krismayes will get all kinds of free and positive publicity combating real election integrity issues while Petersen can only give Heap serious side eye. #AzAG
NEW: Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes just filed a mandamus action, asking a judge to force Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap to carry out his "nondiscretionary duty to immediately restore the" voting rights of 23 people his office previously alleged were noncitizens.

I've been extremely busy all day, so I'm not up on the news. Has there been any embarrassing or shocking display of incompetence from @azjustinheap's office today?

Justin Heap’s obsession in serving his master Shelby Busch indicates a lack of organizational control. It’s the little things. Accurate voicemail greetings may not seem as fun as calling the FBI on innocent elections employees, but serving the voters is more important.
PSA: Maricopa County Recorder phone line provides incorrect election date. Correct date is Nov. 3.
