Former Maricopa County Treasurer Royce Flora has resigned from his post in disgust and will be working to recall some of his former colleagues.
Flora stated that he is abdicating his position because “the political environment at the county has become so toxic I have no desire to endure further abuse.” He will be replaced by State Rep. John Allen, who was previously scheduled to take over the position in mid-January.
Board of Supervisors Chairman Clint Hickman is denying that there is anything wrong with his operation.
“Maricopa County is a great place to work,” Hickman said. “Filled with hardworking people, servicing the needs of the fastest growing county in the United States.”
Flora is not tolerating the spin from Hickman. He is intending to “participate in the recall” effort against supervisors who have abdicated their duty to properly investigate voter fraud.
There are currently four recall petitions that have targeted supervisors for disregarding “the fundamental rights of Arizona citizens afforded by our United States and State of Arizona Constitution.” Because of the shameful recent behavior of the Board of Supervisors, these recall petitions may be effective.
Big League Politics has reported on how Maricopa County supervisors have protected Dominion voting machines from being properly inspected, hoping to run out the clock until inauguration day:
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors is refusing to comply with subpoenas issued by the Arizona Senate to audit and inspect their Dominion ballot counting machines. They will file a complaint in Superior Court and send a letter to the Senate informing them of their decision.
“I move that we authorize the county attorney to respond to the subpoenas issued by the Senate by filing a complaint in Superior Court and by sending a letter to the Senate as directed in executive session,” Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Jack Sellers said in a special meeting Friday that was broadcast by RSBN.
On Tuesday Big League Politics reported that the Arizona Senate was going to issue the subpoenas. Senator Eddie Farnsworth (R-Gilbert), the chair of the Arizona Senate Judiciary Committee, made the announcement Monday at the end of a legislative session, saying that there is evidence of tampering and fraud.
“We hold and audit and we see what the outcome is. And then we can put this to rest,” he said.
Farnsworth mentioned that he’s trying to “reinsert some confidence in our election process” and that it’s not unreasonable to investigate potential voter fraud—especially when it appears to be swept under the rug and dismissed out of hand as not possibly credible.
“I do have a concern that the county is taking the position that it just can’t happen. There is a litany of white-collar crimes, digital crimes in the history of this country and this world of some very sophisticated people and the victims didn’t recognize it until some future time. I think it’s really, really dangerous for us to say, ‘It can’t happen,’” he said.
Flora is one man with a conscience and a spine in an age of ubiquitous cowardice. More officials need to speak out and fight back against corruption to save America in these dark times.
