A few quick thoughts on Fulton County affidavit:

1) It's largely based on complaints already made either in court or before the Georgia State Election Board.

2) It says if certain mistakes had a criminal intent, then they could be criminal acts. How does seizing the ballots go to the intent of the actors?

3) It does not name any alleged criminals (redacted or otherwise). It gives no insight into who they think might have committed a crime.

4) The witnesses are largely drawn from the MAGA people on the Georgia State Election Board and then election-fraud hobbyists.

5) No witnesses with actual election administration

6) Surprised this got to probable cause. But I guess the beauty of these is that there isn't somebody representing the defendant explaining how these processes work.
Witness 1 = Joe Rossi
Witness 2 = Janice Johnston
Witness 3 = Janelle King
Witness 4 = Chris Harvey
Witness 5 = Kevin Moncla (probably)

🧵

In honor of having just submitted my tax payments...

Some charts on federal income taxes!

(Most of this from @CatoInstitute, @adamnmichel, @JoshLoucks27)

1) "Pay your fair share!"

The top 1% of ordinary income earners make 22.4% of all income.

But they pay 40.4% of all federal income taxes.

The top 2%-5% of ordinary income earners make 15.9% of all income.

But they pay 20.6% of all federal income taxes.

The bottom 50% of ordinary income earners make 11.5% of all income.

But they pay 3.0% of all federal income taxes.Image
2) "Pay your fair share!" pt. 2

The top 0.1% of ordinary income earners pay 33.4% of all federal income taxes. Image
3) The federal government lives on individual income taxes. Image

🧵

Some, but by no means all, of our accomplishments at @RecordersOffice over the past 3 years and 11 months.

(In no particular order)

1) Maricopa Title Alert

Maricopa Title Alert allows the user to receive text message or email alerts anytime the selected individual name, business name, or trust name is indexed in a recorded document.

The service is free, available in English and Spanish, and it takes only two minutes to sign up.

This allows the user to monitor against deed fraud or any other fraudulent or inaccurate recording.

We now have over 77,000 users.

2) New Elections and Voter Registration Website

When I took Office, we had a 10+ year-old website that contained all three lines of business: recording, voter registration, and election administration.

We instead created two websites: one for voter registration and election administration, and one website for recording. Because that makes more sense for users.

The new voter registration and election website (Elections.Maricopa.Gov) is modern, way easier to use, fully integrates the voter dashboard, and has way more features (e.g. visual representation of all the voting locations, real time update of voter registration statistics, do-it-yourself tours of the election facility, downloadable election maps, voter assistance requests, English-to-Spanish toggle).Image
3) New Recording Website

Similarly, our new Recording website (), is now modern, easy-to-navigate, and has a bunch of expanded features: a shopping cart, easier set up of online recording accounts, improved document search tool, and more access to historic documents.Recorder.Maricopa.GovImage

🧵Election reform.

For the past two years, I’ve been statutorily responsible for voter registration, early voting (until Friday 5:00 PM), and provisional ballots in Maricopa County.

1/25
I have also closely observed the election administration responsibilities of the Board of Supervisors: emergency voting (Sat, Sun, Monday before Election Day), election day, and tabulation.

2/25
Arizona election administration can and should be improved. This is true of both operations and law.

Here are some ideas for changes to law:

If you want to get to 95%+ of results on Election Night, you have to move the deadline up for early ballot returns (like Florida).

But you could also start early voting earlier (also like FL). Such that the total of early voting days remains the same.
Sadly, the “feed early ballots into Election Day tabulators” idea doesn’t work because early ballots have to be coded differently from Election Day ballots to prevent double voting.

And only 1/2 of counties allow on site tabulation anyway.
But I’m very much in favor of:
- starting early voting earlier (30 days)
- expanding number of locations to drop off early ballot
- requiring early ballots be dropped off by 5:00 PM on Saturday before Election Day

🧵Over the next few weeks, I'll write on possible changes to early voting, voter registration, and recording (the control of the 15 county recorders) in Arizona.

Some of these ideas will be advanced by the Arizona Association of County Recorders (of which I'm president)

1/24
But some are just my ideas (like this one; I think my friend, colleague, and vice president @GabriellaCKelly has a different take on this).

The number one issue I heard about during this election is:

WE WANT RESULTS FASTER!

I'm very sympathetic to this wish.

2/24
In my own race in 2020, I won by 4,599 votes out of almost 2.1 million a ballots (a "landslide victory" as I now call it 🙂).

I didn't secure my lead against the incumbent until Wednesday -- 8 days after Election Day.

🧵After the polls closed last night, we shifted back to my operations (Early Vote).

Last night, we took in over 275,000 early ballots dropped off yesterday, Election Day.

These are different from the approximately 230,000 people that the Board of Supervisors...

1/X
had yesterday who fed their ballots into the tabulation machines.

These ballots come back in green envelopes with a barcode and signed.

Last night from midnight to 5:00 AM, we sorted those 275,000+ ballots so they could be scanned in and image captured for the signature

2/X
We began signature verification of those 275,000+ at 7:00 AM.

They must be signature verified to confirm identity.

Once they are signature verified, they are sent ahead to a bipartisan ballot processing team.

That team removes the ballot from the envelope...
