Arizona has been at the epicenter of false claims of voter fraud since the 2020 presidential elections, rhetoric that persists as the swing state braces for the rematch of a presidential contest that triggered chaos and conspiracy theories nearly four years ago. [SNIP] Garrett Archer, an ABC15 data analyst and a former senior elections analyst for the Arizona secretary of state, recalled claims of rigged elections dating back to the 2000s, but said they didn’t compare to the supercharged allegations of voter fraud fueled by Trump, his former attorney Rudy Giuliani and high-profile republicans in Arizona.
Archer said the false claims “blew up,” and ignited demonstrations across Phoenix.

The truth will not be quashed. False claims of vote fraud in 2020 will not die because they re not false.

Are they the same one's who have been telling us for the last 4 years that Biden is one of the sharpest people in politics? I don't think they have much credibility.

I guarantee that these same people will be screaming for recounts and court challenges if Trump wins by a narrow margin in Arizona. They hide behind the illusion that counting all ballots is a fair process. Well-documented independent audits in Arizona and other swing states showed a loss of integrity in the mail-in ballot counting procedures that undermined the public's trust in their certifiability. The country was gaslighted into accepting the results of a defective process. You can say the election was fair until you are blue in the face, but the truth is what survives. If a significant number of people perceive the election was unfair, and there is no attempt to address this perception in a non-partisan authoritative way, it will remain in our collective memory as truth.

False claims? Election laws changed by officials, not legislatures, to increase voting days, no excuse mail in ballots sent to everyone, voter rolls not cleaned, illegals added to voter rolls, vote counts made by partisans, no audits of election results, recounts that do nothing but recount the illegal votes, no signature verification, lockouts of Republican oversight, Republicans who sign off on election counts after threats to themselves and their families, vote counts disclosed to Democrat operatives before an election is called, Democrat DA's elected by Soros that will not enforce any election laws, no voter ID, more votes than registered voters in many places, ballots mailed to post office boxes and vacant lots, corrupt mail personnel that do not collect or throw away ballots, double and triple scans of ballots at vote counting centers, candidates selected by party machinery not voters. That is a short list of why elections are nothing but frauds.

To this day, do they ever put the word "False" in any story about Hillarys election claims, including, "Donald Trump knows he's not the legitimate president."
No. They only editorialize to add power to their reporting when they want you to disbelieve your own eyeballs.

Arizona and at least five other states, including the long-established democrat cheating machine in my own Pennsylvania. The proof is in the audits. Oh, wait, none of them allowed audits.

False claims of fraud?
I've heard plenty of evidence of fraud, never refuted, only ignored.
Scripps should be ashamed to publish such tripe!

After I read this headline I checked my calendar. Yup, it's July 4, 2024, but for a minute there I thought for sure it was April Fool's Day. Whew!

Let's just return to paper ballots like we used to count in one day. We will all volunteer to help count.
It seems the only way to remove the claims of tinkering with the totals and restore democracy.

Why does it take Arizona 3 days to count ballots? Florida, whose population is three times that of AZ had their ballots counted on the evening of Election Day. And they wonder why people question their elections?

Democrats do two things well. They steal elections and they steal your money. Get it yet. Wake up.

Any time a writer like this starts the story with a judgment of "false claims", in my opinion, it is not worth reading since it begins with obvious bias up front.

What do they mean "False claims"? They cheated in Arizona. Everybody knows it. And given the chance, they will do it again. It's the only way Democrats can win.

FTA - "Arizona has been at the epicenter of false claims of voter fraud since the 2020 presidential elections..."
Adi, you look very young and easily manipulated. I see that you peppered your piece with the word "false" multiple times. Just wondering who instructed you to conclude the claims of voting fraud were false.
