A high-ranking member of the Arizona State Senate felt the sting of rebuke when the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors challenged his two-subpoena request for a scanned ballot audit and full forensic accounting of tabulation equipment. In the ongoing efforts to ensure election integrity, the Maricopa Supervisors shot down the latest demands by state Republicans. Adding insult to injury, by a four-to-one vote, the Board issued a complaint in court challenging the efforts of Republican Sen. Eddie Farnsworth, chairman of the state Senate Judiciary Committee.
Article originally published at Liberty Nation.
Farnsworth was asking for 2.1 million ballots to be verified. A sample audit conducted in Maricopa County last month found no irregularities. Still, the insistence by some Republicans and President Trump’s supporters have prompted the lawmaker to ensure the state of Arizona is no longer under suspicion of election shenanigans:
“If we don’t find fraud? Well, heck, that goes a long way to restore confidence in our election process. And if we do find fraud, then that’s what we need to do, is to somehow identify it and then see what we can do to stop it.”
The Board had other ideas, and in passive-aggressive style, supervisor Steve Gallardo, a Democrat, retorted as if speaking to a child – and not an experienced and well-respected legislator – saying: “I am very disappointed of [sic] the subpoenas that were sent over to the county. I believe he knows better.”
Privacy Rights Or Something Else?
On Monday, the Electoral College awarded Joe Biden the votes he needed to win the presidential election. Still, in some states, including Arizona, the GOP convened its own electors for Trump if the election was turned inside out by audits. Election law professionals say these votes are not legal, but if the results are overturned in the courts, Arizona lawmakers will petition Congress to accept the alternative slate of 11 electors. Additionally, they would nullify the electoral votes until a full forensic audit could be performed.
But the supervisors appear to be washing their hands of possible election fraud and, in fighting back, are citing privacy issues. Supervisor Bill Gates seemed incredulous of the request by the State Senate: “I feel strongly about individual private information, of individuals, of voters, and that information has been requested in these subpoenas. I’m going to fight to protect that information before we turn it over.”
Commendable, yet when all things are considered in this election, perhaps putting to bed the idea of ballot fraud in Arizona might be more critical to future confidence in elections than non-compliance with two Senate subpoenas.
Last Ditch Effort
There is one last step for Mr. Biden in his relocation efforts to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue: On January 6, in a joint session of Congress, the electoral votes will be counted and certified. Rest assured, there will be challenges by several House Republicans and perhaps a senator or two. And maybe additional intel on election 2020 may come to light as Republicans continue to demand answers across the country. But as history shows, House Democrats attempted to overturn election results similarly in 2001, 2005, and 2017. And we all know how that turned out.

COVID-19 lockdowns are taking down an independent news outlet
Nobody said running a media site would be easy. We could use some help keeping this site afloat.
Colleagues have called me the worst fundraiser ever. My skills are squarely rooted on the journalistic side of running a news outlet. Paying the bills has never been my forte, but we’ve survived. We have ads on the site that help, but since the site’s inception this has been a labor of love that otherwise doesn’t bring in the level of revenue necessary to justify it.
When I left a nice, corporate career in 2017, I did so knowing I wouldn’t make nearly as much money. But what we do at NOQ Report to deliver the truth and fight the progressive mainstream media narrative that has plagued this nation is too important for me to sacrifice it for the sake of wealth. We know we’ll never make a ton of money this way, and we’re okay with that.
Things have become harder with the coronavirus lockdowns. Both ad money and donations that have kept us afloat for a while have dropped dramatically. We thought we could weather the storm, but the resurgence of lockdowns that mainstream media and Democrats are pushing has put our prospects in jeopardy. In short, we are now in desperate need of financial assistance.
The best way NOQ Report readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We need approximately $17,300 to stay afloat through March when we hope the economy will be more open, but more would be wonderful and any amount that brings us closer to our goal is greatly appreciated.
The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. This shouldn’t be the case as our traffic the last year has been going up dramatically. June, 2018, we had 11,678 visitors. A year later in June, 2019, we were up to 116,194. In June, 2020, we had 614,192. In November, 2020, we hit 1.2 million visitors.
We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.
As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.
American Conservative Movement
Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism. The coronavirus crisis has prompted many, even some conservatives, to promote authoritarianism. It’s understandable to some extent now, but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life. We currently have 8000+ patriots with us in a very short time. If you are interested, please join us to receive updates.
