Establishment lawfare running rampant
Democrat Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes handed down several indictments on Wednesday in relation to the “alternate elector” situation that took place during the contested 2020 presidential election.
In a video released Wednesday, Mayes said, “I will not allow American Democracy to be undermined,” before oddly stating, “Arizona’s election was free and fair.”
Inverting reality, Mayes claimed the defendants tried to strip Arizona voters of their “right to have their vote counted.”
Meanwhile, the entire point of the GOP argument at the time was that Arizona voters DID NOT have their votes accurately represented.

Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk pointed out Mayes won her election by a mere 280 votes, and provided a historical reference for the actions taken by Arizona electors in 2020.
Kirk wrote:
“In 1960, in the race between Kennedy and Nixon, Hawaii was very closely contested. While Hawaii certified Nixon as the winner of the state’s electoral votes, Democrats claimed otherwise. They assembled their own slate of electors and submitted their votes to DC to be counted while the state worked out the contest in the courts. Importantly, this worked. After initially cerifying Nixon’s electors, Hawaii’s recount concluded that Kennedy had won the state by just 150 votes. The state’s governor retracted the Nixon certification, and submitted a new one in favor of Kennedy.”

Attorney Mike Davis suggested Mayes “stole her 2022 election by disenfranchising voters on Election Day,” and called the new indictments blatant “lawfare and election interference.”
“This is a criminal conspiracy by these Democrat politicians. This is unacceptable. There must be severe legal, political, and financial consequences,” Davis wrote.
Let’s get this straight.

Republican Arizona State Senator Jake Hoffman, who is a defendant in the case, wrote, “Let me be unequivocal, I am innocent of any crime, I will vigorously defend myself, and I look forward to the day when I am vindicated of this disgusting political persecution by the judicial process. Kris Mayes & the Democrats’ naked corruption and weaponization of government will long be a stain on the history of our great state and nation.”

The official Republican Party of Arizona X account also labeled the indictments “politically motivated” and a “blatant abuse of legal authority aimed to disrupt, distract and interfere in the 2024 election.”

Senior Donald Trump Advisor Stephen Miller joked, “Remember when the voting machines in Maricopa County AZ malfunctioned en masse on Election Day, disenfranchising thousands of GOP voters? The Dem AG of Arizona was declared winner by a margin of 280 votes.”

The Democrat plot to support their frail candidate Joe Biden is clearly to unleash judicial attacks against the GOP in order to take up their time and money in addition to painting the entire party as a band of criminals.
Meanwhile, the Democrats and establishment Republicans are working together to subvert the will of the American people who elected Trump in 2020 and hope to overwhelm the system so that it can’t steal the nomination from him again this year.
