Election Worker Claims Republican Votes for Andy Biggs Were Discarded During Ballot Adjudication — Over 54% of Adjudicated Ballots Flagged as Overvotes

A stunning message from an inside adjudicator at the Maricopa County Ballot Tabulation Center (BTC) is raising fresh red flags about the 2026 Arizona gubernatorial race, where Democrat Katie Hobbs was declared the winner over Trump-endorsed Republican Rep. Andy Biggs.

Rachel Alexander, a journalist for Townhall and Arizona Insiders (and a former Maricopa County elections attorney and prosecutor), shared the account on X. The source, identifying as a working adjudicator, described ongoing anomalies targeting Republican ballots.

Alexander wrote on X:

“Nothing to see here, and the MaRICOpa County Supervisors wouldn’t let anyone investigate anyway. I received this message from someone:

Hi. I am working as an adjudicator in the Maricopa County BTC. There are and continue to be anomalies in adjudication. What we are seeing is Republican ballots that were voted Biggs but also voted Hobbs. With an X through the Biggs vote. This takes the ballot to adjudication as an over vote. Adjudicators will then remove the Biggs vote because the X shows voter intent to change their mind. The vote goes to Hobbs. We have also been seeing votes for Biggs and Lombardo together. Creating another over vote. Only this time the Biggs vote isnt counted and neither is Lombardo. This is how they stole votes and shaved votes imho. The anomalies also appear on Prop 144 and others. There is something going on with adjudication. The ballots were stored in a hallway that wasn’t secure, boxes an…”

Arizona Voters Pass Ban on Boys in Girls’ Sports, Despite Electing Dems Statewide

While Democrats across the nation performed well during Tuesday’s midterm elections, their policy prescriptions didn’t appear to fare as well.

In Arizona, for instance, voters approved a conservative ballot measure that’ll ban “transgender” students from using their preferred locker room and pronouns, according to NPR member radio station KJZZ.

“Prop. 318 was referred to the ballot by state Republican lawmakers earlier this year, and was opposed by legislative Democrats,” the station reported.

The ballot measure passed with 58 percent of the vote, despite Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs having vetoed similar legislative measures in the past.

Here We Go: Maricopa County Claims “Power Related Issues” Causing Vote Center Closures – Resident Says He Was Turned Away From 3 Different Locations: “We’re Getting F*cked With Again”

Maricopa County in Arizona announced on Monday that some early in-person voting locations have been temporarily closed due to “power related issues.”

The Maricopa County Elections Department announced on X, “Due to power related issues, the Vote Centers located at Paradise Community College and Sunset Canyon School are temporarily closed. Please visit https://Locations.Maricopa.Vote to find a nearby voting location.”

However, one Maricopa County resident who spoke to The Gateway Pundit said he went to Paradise Community College, Sunset Canyon School, and a third polling location near Cactus Rd. and Tatum Blvd. in North Phoenix, and they were all closed. “We’re getting f*cked with again,” they said.

Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet encouraged voters not to be “deterred” and shared a link with additional voting locations.

Back in 2022, on Election Day, voting centers across Maricopa County, the largest in the state, faced vote tabulator failures at roughly 60% of voting locations, leaving the majority-Republican in-person voters stuck waiting in hours-long lines or unable to vote.

US Attorney in Arizona Investigating Three Leftwing Groups for Registering Non-Citizens After Muckraker Report on Pro-Katie Hobbs Groups – Matter Referred to the FBI

The US Attorney for the District of Arizona has opened an investigation into three leftwing nonprofits in Arizona for “registering non-citizens to vote in Arizona.”

The three groups under investigation are Stand Indivisible Arizona and Worker Power, two nonprofit groups backing Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs and other Democratic candidates, and When We Count, the Democratic National Committee’s own national voter registration program.

“The United States Attorney’s Office has already referred the matter to the FBI for a thorough federal investigation,” US Attorney Timothy Courchaine’s office announced in a press release.

This comes after Muckraker released a report, featuring volunteers from the three organizations attempting to register undercover journalists posing as non-citizens and felons.

When Katie Hobbs was asked about the groups’ attempts to cheat, she ran away from questions.

In letters to Democratic Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes and Republican Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap, US Attorney Timothy Courchaine writes, “Based on written and video reports, personnel acting on behalf of the following organizations either intentionally disregarded or were recklessly ignorant of Arizona’s law prohibiting the registration of non-citizens in elections.”

“Based on a cursory review, it appears these organizations and their volunteers or employees may have violated A.R.S. § 16-182 by knowingly causing or procuring another person to be registered while knowing that person is not entitled to register to vote,” he continues, requesting a review of voter registrations submitted by the three groups.

Katie Hobbs Canvassers Busted by Muckraker Trying to Register Felons and Noncitizens to Vote – Hobbs RUNS When Confronted!

Muckraker on Thursday published an election report out of Arizona, using undercover reporters to catch the Democratic Party, nonprofit groups, and labor unions backing Incumbent Governor Katie Hobbs, attempting to illegally register noncitizens and felons to vote.

Muckraker caught multiple Democrat organizations allowing blatant voter fraud.

These suspect groups were caught attempting to register noncitizens to vote and mobilizing noncitizens and felons to vote in the upcoming election.

When Katie Hobbs was confronted with the findings, she ran away from questions.

Muckraker posted their latest investigation on Thursday.

Per Muckraker:

Here’s what we found:

Stand Indivisible Arizona (endorsed Gov. Hobbs in their 2026 ballot guide) — Our journalist posed as a Canadian citizen and asked to register to vote. The canvasser not only agreed to help the alleged non-citizen register, but when asked whether other Canadians could register too, she said, “Tell them to do it online.”

Worker Power (working to re-elect Gov. Hobbs) — Our journalist told a canvasser they were not a U.S. citizen. Despite this, at our journalist’s request, the canvasser marked “yes” on the citizenship question of the voter registration form.

When We Count (the DNC’s own registration program) — Our journalist posed as a felon on probation and asked to register to vote. The canvassers looked up the law and saw that a felon on probation is ineligible. Even so, they encouraged our journalist to register: “You should just do it.”

AFL-CIO (phone bank mobilizing voters for Gov. Hobbs) — Our undercover journalist asked a phone bank trainer whether to ask the people being called if they’re citizens. The trainer’s answer: “We don’t care.”

First, Muckraker caught a volunteer for Stand Indivisible Arizona, a liberal nonprofit group backing Hobbs and other Democrats’ campaigns, attempting to register a journalist posing as a Canadian citizen, as well as his Canadian friends at a voter registration drive at Paradise Valley Community College in Phoenix.

WTH? Door Knocker for Democrat AZ Governor Katie Hobbs Caught on Camera Stealing Package From Voter’s Front Porch

A volunteer canvasser for a leftwing group backing Democratic Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs’ reelection campaign was caught on a doorbell camera, appearing to snatch a package while leaving flyers for Democratic candidates.

They’re not just stealing votes anymore.

The apparent porch pirate is seen on doorbell camera footage approaching the home and leaving a flyer at the door before closely examining a package for a moment.

She then takes the package and walks away.

As also seen in the clip, the woman left a flyer that read “paid for by Victory PAC (www.luchaaz.org/lucha-blue),” which links to the progressive group Living United for Change in Arizona’s 2026 voter guide.

The page urges voters to reelect Governor Katie Hobbs and Attorney General Kris Mayes. “Governor Katie Hobbs is delivering for Arizona families. Fighting to lower everyday costs, protecting our freedoms, keeping communities safe, safeguarding our water, and holding powerful interests accountable. She puts Arizona first and is focused on getting results that make a real difference in people’s lives,” the page reads.

The person who discovered their package was missing got a firsthand look at the governor’s socialist policies.

HORRIFYING: Arizona Man Accused of Plotting MASS-CASUALTY Terror Attack on Religious Site — Allegedly Called Notorious Oklahoma City Bombing ‘Cookbook’ His Bible

A 27-year-old Chandler, Arizona man is facing felony charges after Maricopa County prosecutors alleged he laid out a detailed plan for a mass-casualty attack on a Jewish or Muslim house of worship, complete with explosives followed by an accomplice tasked with “picking off people” with firearms.

Matthew Bjornholt appeared in Maricopa County Superior Court on October 16–18, 2026, on a charge of making a terrorist threat.

According to FOX 10 Phoenix’s October 16 report, prosecutors alleged that Bjornholt discussed using bombs and firearms to inflict mass casualties at a religious facility.

Even more alarming, prosecutors claimed Bjornholt possessed a copy of The Anarchist Cookbook, an infamous manual containing instructions for constructing explosives that has been associated with Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.

Prosecutors alleged Bjornholt referred to the book as his “Bible.”

During Friday’s court appearance, Maricopa County prosecutor Stephen Garcia requested a $500,000 cash bond, arguing that Bjornholt posed an imminent danger to the community.

More Questions Than Answers: Maricopa County Supervisor Releases “Explanation” of Controversial Late-Night Election Video

On October 10, The Gateway Pundit published an article that revealed concerning video allegedly showing two election workers, one carrying a toddler, entering the Ballot Tabulation Center (BTC)M after hours and inserting a device into one of the adjudication terminals.

Days prior, the Logic & Accuracy (L&A) testing had already been completed. The terminals reportedly had “port blockers” installed over the USB ports in order to ensure no foreign devices were inserted into the systems following the completion of the L&A testing.

On October 14, Maricopa County published via X a “Joint Statement Addressing Election Misinformation” from the Board of Supervisors Chair Kate Brophy McGee and Vice Chair Debbie Lesko. 

The statement described the work as “authorized and necessary work to update software and upload election data to a computer terminal” that is air-gapped and did not involve the Election Management System or tabulators.

The update required a USB drive “to load authorized election files onto the duplication terminal,” according to the statement. It also claims that, “The entire process is subject to rigorous audits during and after every election.”

Following the joint statement from the Chair and Vice Chair, Supervisor Mark Stewart posted a video to X with “Eric,” the Chair of the Libertarian Party and “Michelle,” who is described as “a friend” of Stewart’s from the Republican Party.

Maricopa County Election Employees Seen Late at Night Using Flash Drives on Certified Equipment Ahead of Election Day – Maricopa Attempts Damage Control

Maricopa County election employees are believed to have been seen tampering with voting equipment late at night this week, appearing to install or download something on election equipment that has already been certified for use on November 3. 

The county claims that they were just “working on a legitimate election task, late into the night.” But according to Phoenix-based election watchdog group We the People Alliance, the employees left for the day at approximately 6:20 pm, then returned late at night around 9:08 pm until 11:15 pm.

Additionally, co-founder of We the People Shelby Busch tells The Gateway Pundit, “There are two flaws with the Maricopa County Election Department’s statement of transparency. First, they fail to disclose to the public what this ‘legitimate election task’ was that required occurring late into the night, and second, they indicate this can be viewed 24/7 by the public; however, the feed published by WTP USA does not appear to be part of the public feeds.”

We the People obtained the non-public video from a source. This view is nowhere to be found in Maricopa County’s public livestream of election activities at the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center. Still, Maricopa County claimed in a statement, “You can view our tabulation center 24/7 365 days a year.”

“We do not presume to know what was on those flash drives, but what we do know is that secure computers were unlocked and external devices were inserted into highly sensitive systems late at night and without any public oversight. Additional video footage we obtained also raises heavy concern over the chain of custody of the external flash drive,” she added.

One of the employees, We the People Alliance says, is Brian Ramirez, the same employee who was previously accused of deleting election files before voting machines were delivered to Arizona Senate auditors following the stolen 2020 election. The Gateway Pundit has not independently verified that Ramirez was involved in the latest incident.

Similar concerns about Maricopa County machine tampering after logic and accuracy testing to certify the accuracy of the election equipment arose in the 2022 election, which was stolen from Kari Lake.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Maricopa County admitted during Kari Lake’s court proceedings in 2022 to “install[ing] new memory cards on its Election Day tabulators” on October 14, 17, and 18, after the statutorily required October 11 logic and accuracy (L&A) testing. The tabulators went on to fail on election day, disenfranchising thousands of voters across Maricopa County and robbing Kari Lake of her victory over then-Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs.

Trans killer blames transition for stabbing hiker 15 times on trail: Victim was ‘what I want to look like’

A troubled one-time Marine recruit who was transitioning to live as a trans woman has admitted to stabbing a hiker to death in Arizona — having told cops she was “what I would want to look like.”

Zion Teasley, 25, pleaded guilty to murdering beauty technician Lauren Heike, 29, in a deal that took the death penalty off the table.

The felon, who had left the Marines just months after going through bootcamp, will instead spend the rest of his life in prison for killing the hiker, who was found dead by neighbors at the foot of a barbed wire fence with 15 stab wounds off a Phoenix trail in 2023.

Before the murder, Teasley wrote in his diary that he was “battling with my gender identity and sexuality,” which he believed was conflicting with his Christian faith, according to a 400-page police report on the killing obtained by ABC 15 last year.

“I want to live a life of serving god, but how can I with these and other sins in the way,” wrote the killer, whose attorney called “she” in court.

“[I know] I am forgiven for my sins, but it’s still a lot of pressure and it’s hard to maintain a good Christian mindset 24/7.”
