Jamie's Story
I directed questions to the Maricopa County Recorder, expecting a response since this is an elected position. I incorrectly assumed that elected officials would be interested in addressing citizen concerns. There was a brief interface between me and the Maricopa County Recorder. However, there was no response to my inquiries. The Maricopa County Recorder apparently accepted the 2020 election anomalies since he was unable to share any corrective actions to remediate the issues.
Katie Hobbs appeared to be ineffective at overseeing Arizona's Elections given the unusually high number of Election Anomalies that occurred during the 2020 General Election and 2022 Mid-term Election.
Debbie Lesko provides an oversight role as a member of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (MCBOS). Her presentation of why two boxes of ballots could not be located for three days following a November 2025 election parroted the Election's Department statementfrom November 7, 2025. She seemed to be accepting of people not following procedures to place the boxes of ballots in an unauthorized location for transport and how fortuitous it was that they had coincidently been stored in an area with 24-hour surveillance. Hence, a person in an oversight role did not see the need to investigate the incident for the purpose of determining corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
