If a Judge orders something and an official refuses, isn't that official supposed to be arrested?

It seems as though Ricther is using the "best interest of Arizona", as his reason, which feels a lot like when the the federal government uses "national security" as their reason.

I'm guessing that not releasing the ballot signatures, is at least in the best interest of Hobbs, Fontes, and Ricther.

I've been wondering about this myself, and I expect it is all up to the court/judge(s) involved.

The following current situation might be instructive --

Gov. Hobbs must appear in court on pause of executions

In a nutshell, Katie has ordered a "review" of death penalty protocols and procedures, indefinitely delaying a scheduled court ordered execution. Katie has been ordered to explain herself to the court.

I would expect that the court has the power to fine and incarcerate Katie if she refuses to comply with a court order, for as long as she refuses to comply.

I would expect the same in regards to Maricopa County Recorder and Board of Supervisors.

But I don't know this. Just my best guess at this point.

Richer is a real piece of work, and personifies the insidious and incestuous nature of this beast.

Richer literally campaigned for "making elections boring again" while running for this office in 2020 after the (comparatively) problematic elections in 2018.

He "won."

And he's worse than his predecessor, Adrian Fontes.

It was the Recorder's Office actually, that was to be made boring again, but yeah, I remember.

New Testimony Confirms Ballot Tampering in Maricopa’s 2022 Election

Hughes states in his affidavit that “an INTENTIONAL change was made to the printers affecting the DAY OF Election ballots” in the 2022 Maricopa County midterm election. Hughes’ affidavit in Exhibit K of a newly filed Motion to Reconsider in Mark Finchem’s dismissed 2022 election lawsuit confirms previous testimony from Clay Parikh. Parikh was one of several expert witnesses in the Kari Lake lawsuit.

Kari asks for this to be spread far and wide --

Very important development

The Fake News won’t cover this.

We can get it out without them.

Read and Share

-- because we know the mainstream media sure won't do it!

The UnderCoverDC article goes on to explain:

Parikh testified there are “only two ways the printing of a 19-inch image on a 20-inch paper happened, and they are both intentional. He explained, “One way is by changing the printer adjustments. That would make the printer adjustments, and settings override the image file that was set. The other is from the application side or the operating system side.” 

I think it's also crucial to note that virtually all of the polling places open on Election Day were also open the day before, and not one polling place experienced these problems. Therefore, something definitely changed overnight. These experts are saying the changes must have been deliberate and intentional.

This does not prove malicious intent. It only proves human interference.

ETA: Also remember that additional printers (of a different brand), that only print on 20-Inch paper, were brought in on Election Day only.

LOL -- right you are!

AZ Senator Wendy Rogers

💥 BOOM💥

As Arizona Senate Elections Committee Chair, I have submitted a Public Records Request to inspect the affidavit envelopes and signature exemplars from Maricopa County records used in the 2022 election.

Good. We need as many elected and unelected public officials making as much noise as possible.

That is logical and makes sense. Otherwise, you really do have a dysfunctional judicial and law enforcement system.

Maybe Wendy Rogers has authority to force the Maricopa County Recorder to grant her access to the ballots/envelopes. More power than a judge, lol.

If I recall correctly, and if I understand correctly, then yes, Wendy and/or the Senate do in fact have the authority to request, subpoena and examine all election related materials.

This was and is the ruling of the AZ Supreme Court as determined when Maricopa County fought the Senate Audit Subpoenas. The ruling was not limited to the audit Subpoenas. It was an affirmative and declaratory ruling of the Senate's Constitutional plenary powers and duties.

That's my understanding.

Likewise, it's my understanding based on the previous circumstances, that if the County continues to refuse, then the Senate can vote for the Senate President to have the Senate Sergeant at Arms arrest and detain the responsible party until they do comply.

At that time, Rusty Bowers was a holdout. He wouldn't vote for the arrest of the Board of Supervisors. I don't know if we'd have any holdouts this time or not.

Maybe they could lose the key to her cell while she's in there?

Edit to add a better thought I had:
Maybe they could just make her trade places with the condemned prisoner since she's so gung ho on saving their life?

Am I remembering correctly that the SQL software was found during the Maricopa County election audit? Does anyone else recall?

When talking about some of these issues with some veterans, nothing works like a good fire. As Dresden fell so did the German air support.

True evidence seems to come up missing a lot of times by unexpected "accidents."

Ahhhh.... gotcha.... now. That went right over my head -- doh!!!

Thanks 😊

Kari has been in Florida supporting Trump (and she should be -- no grumbling on my part), so not much from her team. But the fight goes on:

This is good to see!!!

This is just what we were hoping for that the attorneys could find ways to bring additional related evidence and issues back into the process. And back into the court records.

Kudos to Team Kari 👏

Hobbs Vetoes Her Own Signature Verification Rules Included In Bipartisan Bill

Governor Katie Hobbs has vetoed dozens of bill in her short tenure, however it is her latest veto that has left a bipartisan group of lawmakers “stunned.”

Hobbs vetoed HB 2322, a bipartisan-supported election reform bill, sponsored by State Representative Alexander Kolodin, that would codify in state law specific signature verification rules to confirm the identity of early voters – rules that were written by the Governor when she served as Arizona’s Secretary of State.

Katie has explained her reasons for her veto thusly:

...instead of legally enforceable rules, she would like ‘ongoing’ signature verification ‘guidance’ that is non-binding and can be changed on a whim by a single person.

Hobbs’ reasoning for veto was that the guidelines are already in the Elections Procedure Manual (EPM), however elections attorney, Jen Wright, formerly with the Arizona Attorney General’s Office pointed out that Hobbs is mistaken in a tweet.

“The guidelines are not in the EPM. 🤦🏻‍♀️In fact @GeneralBrnovich sued @katiehobbs asking the court to require her to put the signature guidelines in the EPM so they would have the force & effect of law. She objected to including them in the EPM. 🤷🏻‍♀️👇🏼,” wrote Wright.

It's also noteworthy that this bill had bipartisan support in the House, the Senate voted on party lines.
