NOTUS: The Lonely, Frustrating Battle to Convince Arizona Voters the Election Wasn’t Rigged
Alex Roarty and Tara Kavaler report for NOTUS that allegations about fraud in Arizona have persisted despite repeated reviews of the 2020 vote count that have found no evidence of fraud, including a GOP-backed audit in 2021 that counted each ballot by hand.
[Maricopa County Recorder Stephen] Richer tries to reach voters with information about the election process in different ways. His office is working on an online replica version of the elections facility so people can take tours virtually.
Richer’s efforts have made him a target. The local official has received threats and been ostracized by some members of his own party, but he said he won’t quit.
“There are some people who say you’re never going to convince any of these people,” he said. “There might be something to that. But we’re going to keep trying … with the methods that we have, which is just offer more information.”
