We the People AZ Alliance (WPAA) issued a video earlier this month going over problems with the signature verification on ballot affidavits from the botched 2020 election.
The alliance has been investigating voting irregularities in Maricopa County in recent elections.
WPAA found that out of 1.9 million ballots, 10 percent or about 200,000 had “egregiously” mismatched signatures, and another 10 percent had poorly matched signatures that violated the state’s guidelines for acceptance.
Attorney Bryan Blehm, a member of WPAA who previously represented Kari Lake in her election challenges, said during the presentation that then-Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer didn’t do anything to stop signature reviewers from clicking “approved” on every signature verification screen as fast as a new screen came up. He noted that 20,000 ballots that came in after the election was over violated the law.
“The big concern is who has access to a large number of these ballots, that can then be illegally voted,” Blehm said. “And we know, Stephen Richard wasn’t doing his job. We know they hire people, and they’ve consistently hired people that sit there to just hit enter, enter, enter.”
