PHOENIX — Stephen Richer, who’s been a fierce defender of the integrity of Maricopa County elections since he was elected as county recorder in 2020, has lost a Republican primary to keep that role, according to a race call by The Associated Press.
PHOENIX — Incumbent Stephen Richer was ousted in his Republican primary for Maricopa County recorder, an outcome that could have a major impact on how elections are administered in the nation’s most populous battleground county.
PHOENIX (AP) — Primary Election Day in Arizona ended without many of the top races being decided. Ballot counting will continue Wednesday. Former Phoenix television news anchor and gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake defeated Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb in a Republican U.S. Senate primary that headlined the election statewide. But primaries in three congressional races, a trio of noteworthy state legislative contests and the Republican contest for Maricopa County recorder featuring incumbent Stephen Richer who pushed back hard against election falsehoods were too early to call. Abraham Hamadeh and Blake Masters led a field of six candidates vying for the GOP nomination in Arizona’s 8th Congressional District.
Kari Lake on Tuesday won the Republican primary for U.S. Senate in Arizona, setting her up to face off in November’s general election against Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), who ran uncontested for his party’s nomination. The winner will replace outgoing Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.), who said in March she would not seek reelection.
A high-ranking Republican in Maricopa County, Arizona, said earlier this year that she would “lynch” one of the county’s top election officials if he walked into the room.
Nearly four years after Joseph R. Biden Jr. flipped Arizona blue, the state — and in particular its largest county, Maricopa — remains a hub for debunked claims of election fraud.
PHOENIX (AP) — Kari Lake, a Republican Senate candidate in Arizona who says she lost a 2022 race for governor because of fraud, is declining to defend against a defamation lawsuit filed by a top election official.
Kari Lake signaled on Tuesday that she will not contest claims that she lied about a top Arizona election official and defamed him, a significant legal concessionfrom the Arizona Republican who has become one of the country’s most prominent election deniers.
