Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer saw his first boo birds of the summer as he fights for his Democratic spy life in Maricopa County, Arizona, after declaring 2020 was a fair and honest election. He does have a major advantage in the upcoming primary election. Between the nimrod Republican voters and Democrats, his job could very well be saved. Republicans do have another worry. Richer’s opponent is making the very same promises Richer made during his first election.
What if Justin Heap, Richer’s opponent, is owned by the Arizona Democratic Party the same way they bought Richer, lock, stock, and barrel? But if they do and Democrats do not save him, Heap will win after destroying Richer in the debate by asking one simple question. “How many of you know someone who got more than one absentee ballot?” About half of the audience raised their hands.
This time, Richer told the crowd:
“I do not believe the 2020 election was stolen,” and they erupted with loud boos throughout the audience.
Heap also refuses to say the 2020 election was stolen because he does not want to be attacked by local and national media, which is understandable. Why give your opponent that advantage. Win the election and then fight that battle.

At least he knows the issues, which Richer claims do not exist. Let’s just hope he’s not another Stephen Richer, who as it can be recalled, ran for office in 2020 on the exact same points. He often told voters during campaign stops and stump speeches that former Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes was a “criminal” and that election laws weren’t being followed.
When completing Ballotopedia’s 2020 candidate connection survey, Richer wrote:
Who are you? Tell us about yourself.
I’m committed to running elections that all Arizonans-Republican, Democrat, Independent, or otherwise-can trust. I’m running because the current Recorder has lost the confidence of the electorate as a result of incompetence, incivility, bias, unlawfulness, and a lack of transparency. My wife and I live in Phoenix. We are both attorneys and met at The University of Chicago Law School. My work background is in business management and public policy.

What qualities does this office possess that makes it a unique and important part of the state government and legal system?
Competency and integrity.
Today, Richer considers those who lack confidence in elections “conspiracy theorists” and now claims that the “incompetence, incivility, bias, unlawfulness, and a lack of transparency” displayed by Adrian Fontes led to a fair 2020 election, the most secure in history.
The Gateway Pundit also reported that Stephen Richer was exposed by his former colleague, Steve Chucri, for not trusting Dominion enough to be used in another election.
Richer later saw early voting in Maricopa County during the 2022 election, where the race was stolen from Kari Lake through vote tabulating machine failures that disenfranchised Republicans on election day and phony mail-in ballots with no real signature verification. He’s even gone so far in defending the rigged election that he sued Kari Lake for defamation after she spoke out against him and the election!
