Just when you thought the Maricopa County Supervisors couldn’t get any slimier, they do. The same board that claims the 2020 election was not rife with cheating, knew that the very same cheating tactics took place in the 2018 election according to emails from the Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richter. That includes ballot harvesters, duplicate votes, signature verifications, human bias, voter rolls, and policies that allow election fraud.
In fact, Ricfhter ran for election as the county recorder on these very issues and he accused the previous recorder of being a criminal. In 2018, Richter was given the job of checking the veracity of the election and he complained that the then Recorder, Adrian Fontes was criminal for not handing over the requested information, the very thing that Richter has done with the 2020 election information. We The People AZ Alliance‘s Shelby Busch provided these emails between Stephen Richer and her to The Gateway Pundit.
One year before his election, Richer wrote,
This confidence has been further damaged by the fact that Fontes has not given a full accounting for his actions in the election, and his Office has failed to produce documents in response to the multiple records requests put forward by the Republican and its surrogate (me).

In these emails, Richer expresses concerns over ballot harvesting, signature verifications, human bias, duplication of ballots, voter roll maintenance, and policy that enables election fraud.
In regards to ballot duplication due to unreadable ballots, Richer suggests that we “simply throw it away because human oversight is an imperfect art.” He further states that it is likely the voter’s own fault if their ballot is unreadable.
Richer even showed support for post-election door-to-door canvassing efforts. In the last email, Richer says that the best way to know if someone lives at the address they voted from would be to go and canvass the residence.
The Gateway Pundit also reported that Stephen Richer was exposed for not trusting Dominion to be used in another election.
