Arizona Official Shuts Down Right-Winger Over Clueless Mail-In Voting Claim

Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer pushed back at a conservative Wednesday after she questioned mail-in voting in Arizona ahead of the state’s primaries next month.

Aubrey Savela, who identifies as a field representative for the right-wing nonprofit Turning Point Action, took to X where she shared a photo of two mail-in ballots along with two early voting packets.

“Maricopa county at its finest… My first time ever voting in a presidential preference election and I received not one but two mail-in ballots 🫣 Thank you @stephen_richer,” Savela wrote.

Richer, a top Republican election official in Arizona who sued GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake for defamation last year, swiftly shut down Savela for seemingly making a suggestion about election fraud in the county by pointing out that she recently updated the address on her voter registration.

But I would cover up addresses and other identifiers if I posted documents to the media regardless of my lying or not.

This was totally a set up to embarrass Richer and give TPUSA a news cycle.
Instead it blew up in their faces.
She even tried to score some more points after he scorched her:
