Maricopa County Assistant Elections Director Celia Nabor was responsible for the signature verification process that we now know was a joke. Nabor had to testify under oath in a deposition right after the 2022 election. However, Shelby Busch was told that Nabor was no longer on the payroll. So, what happened to her? Pinal County Elections Director Virginia Ross oversaw the General Election discrepancies. She received a $25,000 dollar bonus for running a good election. (It was a disaster) and she moved to Texas the very next day. Did Nabor get the same kind of deal?
Busch presented more flaws in the 2022 Election this week, which included adjudicated ballot discrepancies, Election Day lines and malfunctions that disenfranchised THOUSANDS of voters, shady voter registration modifications, and a missing chain of custody of hundreds of thousands of ballots. Heather Honey also provided an updated report on the lack of chain of custody documents covering about 300,000 votes.
Busch revealed on Monday that 8,327 plus voters did not cast ballots due to the tabulators that could not read the votes after the county reprogrammed the machines on election day to assure they would not work with the tabulators. This was intentional on the part of Maricopa County. Signature matching in the county was non-existent.
According to Busch, Celia Nabor supervised signature verification in the last three elections, and a deposition was requested for Nabor after the 2022 Election, in a Special Action lawsuit seeking public records.

Similarly, The Gateway Pundit reported that Pinal County Elections Director Virginia Ross, who oversaw the General Election discrepancies discovered in the recount of Abe Hamadeh’s race for Arizona Attorney General, reportedly collected a $25,000 bonus to run a good election, despite the significant errors and her failure to disclose the issues discovered in a recount. Ross then retired on December 2, 2022, and moved to Texas the next day.
It is unclear if Celia Nabor received a bonus or whether she was promised something in exchange for her disappearance. We do not know if Nabor is still in Arizona.
Celia Nabor, in her official capacity as assistant Elections Director for early voting under the County Recorder, gave a sworn declaration in May 2022 regarding mail-in voting laws during litigation over the Arizona Elections Procedures Manual.
Nabor also testified at a January 5, 2022 Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Special Meeting on the County’s 2020 signature verification system, where she stated, “we did not tell staff to stop looking at signatures,” calling this claim “completely false.”
“Curing is when a signature cannot be verified,” she continued. “There was a law change in 2019, and that law allowed voters the five business days post-Election Day to cure their ballot, so we saw the decrease in rejects because of that very significant law change.”
Maricopa County cured thousands of ballots after the five-day limit prescribed by Arizona law.
MARICOPA COUNTY — There are about 8,000 ballots left; 5,000 are in curing process. The early voting team has received 1,000s of curing calls, requests. They're going paperwork; have another 3,000 in ballot tab. center either in duplication or waiting for Door 3 reconciliation.

Notice the date is 14 days after the election.

We have affidavits from three Maricopa County whistleblowers who say 90% of ballots that were flagged for signature mismatches did not go through the curing process.
Those are phantom votes.
We have no way of confirming their legitimacy unless granted access to the envelopes.

Shelby Busch explained the Special Action Petition filed on November 3 and the issue they faced while trying to depose Assistant Election Director Celia Nabor to the Arizona Senate on Monday.
Busch: So the next thing that I wanted to present is we are currently undergoing a Special Action with Maricopa County. We have reached out to them on multiple occasions in regard to information as we’ve gone through this process, and they failed to fully comply or cooperate with the FOIA requests we had put in regarding their signature verification. And so, we did have the special action. It was filed by a legal team, and witnesses stated that they were pressured to approve signatures. And Maricopa County Assistant Election Director Celia Nabor supervised the last three elections of signature verification. So, we did request, back in December, the ability to have her deposed by the legal team. And when a motion was put forth in the special action to enforce that, we were informed that she is no longer employed with Maricopa County. So, we would like the ability to try and depose somebody in the management level that can provide the information to us that we need to confirm our findings and the reports of election workers.
Rogers: I’m curious. When was the deposition launched against Ms. Nabor?
Busch: The request was made to County Attorney Liddy by our attorney, in person, and the formal request was put in. I don’t have that exact date for you, but it was right around mid-December, I believe.
Rogers: When did she leave?
Busch: She left the day after our attorney followed up on the deposition request.
The timing of her departure is curious at best, don’t you think?
