Your Lord knows very well what is in your heart. Your soul suffices this day as a reckoner against you. I need no witnesses. You do not listen to your soul, but listen instead to your anger and your rage.
Officials say a temporary elections employee stole a security fob from Maricopa County's vote tabulation headquarters last week.
Walter Ringfield, a 27-year-old Phoenix resident, took the fob on the evening of June 20th from the facility, officials said. In a statement, officials said the fob was recovered and they will reprogram and retest election equipment to ensure the integrity of the upcoming state primary.
A Maricopa County Sheriff's Office spokesperson confirmed Ringfield was in custody on the morning of June 24th. Court documents show he is charged with felony criminal damage and misdemeanor theft, and that a search warrant was executed on his home. He is being held without bail, according to court documents.
Ringfield quickly shut down most of his social media, which included accounts on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X. Ringfield's account on Donald Trump's social media platform Truth Social was still up at time of writing, however, and contains multiple reposts of pro-Trump content.
It included reposts from pro-Trump MAGA accounts like The Babylon Bee, Catturd, The Epoch Times, and Gateway Pundit.
The Maricopa County Elections office has been the target of multiple conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 and 2022 elections. Republican Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer successfully sued MAGA Senate candidate Kari Lake for defamation after she publicly attacked his handling of the 2022 gubernatorial election.
MAGAtard Pleads Guilty to Multiple Voter Fraud Charges
The U.S. attorney's office in Philadelphia said Philip C. Pulley of Huntington Valley pleaded guilty to falsely registering to vote, double voting, and election fraud. He faces a maximum of five years in prison, three years of supervised release, a $10,000 to $250,000 fine, and a $100 special assessment.
Federal prosecutors said Pulley registered to vote in Broward County, Florida in 2018 when he was already registered in Montgomery County. Then in 2020, Pulley used a false Philadelphia address and Social Security number to register to vote in Philadelphia County while he was still registered in Montgomery and Broward.
Federal prosecutors said that in 2020, Pulley requested a mail-in ballot in Philadelphia and voted in Montgomery and Broward. Pulley also pleaded guilty to voting in Montgomery and Philadelphia counties in the 2022 general election.
A former Redding landlord is in hot water today after recent Reddit posts he made were shared across the site. Charles Pierce is a 70-year-old former landlord of the Manzanita Manor Apartments in Redding. Pierce says he was fired from his role after his reddit posts came to light.
Pierce confirmed that under a now-deleted account, he posted that he received mail-in ballots of four previous tenants at the Manzanita Manor Apartments. In a post to Reddit, Pierce claimed that he used all of the four ballots to cast votes for Trump, and to vote "no" on all rent control and school bond measures in Shasta County.
Multiple Reddit users say they reported Pierce's account, "Mancow2000," to the FBI for voter and mail fraud. The Shasta County Clerk and Registrar of Voters said his office has turned this case over to District Attorney Stephanie Bridgett.
Mary Howard-Elley fervently believes illegal immigration in the U.S. is a critical problem that only Donald Trump can solve. She says the continuation of his border wall and promised mass deportations will make the country safer. She agrees with Trump's unfounded claims that Democrats are opening the borders to allow noncitizens to vote, fearing that it could ultimately cost him the election.
So Howard-Elley did not pay much attention when Texas Governor Greg Abbott helped fuel that narrative by announcing that the state had removed thousands of supposed noncitizens from its rolls, claiming some had a history of voting. Then the U.S. citizen learned she was among them. The retired TSA agent was confused by how the county could come to that conclusion. And she seethed at the idea that anyone would question the citizenship of a former federal employee with the "whitest name you could have."
When disenfranchising voters blows up in your face.
GOP House Candidate Stole Ballots to Undermine Confidence in Election
A Republican candidate for an Indiana seat in the U.S. House of Representatives has been arrested and charged with stealing several election ballots during a recent voting machine test. Larry L. Savage Jr., a candidate in the Republican 5th District primary held earlier this year, was arrested Tuesday morning by Madison County authorities and charged with destroying/misplacing a ballot and theft. He has since been released on a $500 cash bond.
A review of security footage, which was subsequently being live-streamed online, showed Savage handling the two missing ballots. He can also be heard confirming with an election official that these are "absolutely, totally real ballots." In the video, Savage can be seen looking around the room before folding up two ballots and putting them in his sweatshirt pocket. After this, Savage is seen leaning over to a woman in attendance and saying "****ed up count."
A postal worker and her friend were arrested Wednesday in connection with the forging of stolen mail ballots in an alleged attempt to test the security of Colorado's voting system, according to court documents.
Mail carrier Vicki Lyn Stuart and Sally Jane Maxedon were arrested on suspicion of identity theft, attempt to influence a public servant, and forgery, according to their arrest affidavits.
The investigation into the stolen and forged ballots was announced by Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold last month. According to the arrest affidavits, victims are still being located and confirmed, and investigators believe there could be over 20 people whose ballots were stolen.
Mesa County is where former county clerk Tina Peters was recently sentenced to prison for a data-breach scheme.
Maxedon is registered Republican and Stuart is an unaffiliated voter, according to voter records.
The signature verification process led to detection of the fraudulent ballots, election officials said. When they reached out to voters to fix discrepancies between the signature on the ballot envelope and the one on file, the voters said they had not received or cast a ballot. That triggered the investigation.
Investigators found Maxedon through a fingerprint on a ballot that matched one in a law enforcement database. Mesa County Clerk Bobbie Gross said the office did not open the suspect ballots and gave them to the district attorney's office.
As Tulsi Gabbard completed her transformation from a Hawaii Democratic politician to a MAGA surrogate last year, she put down stakes in a far redder state. Gabbard and her husband bought a home outside of Austin and declared under oath last June that they were "residents of the State of Texas."
But a few months later, Gabbard voted in the 2024 general election back in Hawaii. Election law experts said Gabbard's vote, coupled with her claiming a homestead tax break on her Texas home, raises questions about whether she properly cast her ballot.
Gabbard is now director of national intelligence under Donald Trump. Trump has continued to press false claims of widespread voter fraud and demanded further actions by state and federal authorities to address it.
Representatives for Gabbard said she never intended to abandon her longtime Hawaii residency, despite signing the sworn declaration calling herself a Texas resident.
