Republican Maricopa County Chairman moved to 'undisclosed location' for safety after midterm elections

essentialsaltes · Nov 21, 2022

Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates has confirmed that he moved to an undisclosed location for his safety after security concerns connected to the 2022 midterm elections.

Deputies from the sheriff's office are also providing a security detail, officials said.

Gates, a Republican and one of the leaders of the Maricopa County Elections Department, has been a fierce defender of the county's election system and an outspoken critic of false claims that the 2020 election was stolen.

Arizona official targeted by election deniers now struggles with PTSD

First came the misinformation. Then the relentless criticism and violent threats. Under attack, the county official struggled to cope with his anger.

Bill Gates, 51, a lifelong Republican elected to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, stood with his wife and a friend and ticked off the names of those gathered around them who had betrayed him, their party and their country.

Gates stewed that they had done nothing as he and other leaders in Arizona’s most populous county faced relentless criticism, violent threats and online harassment for upholding the results of the 2020 presidential election. They helped spread baseless conspiracies about the voting process that turned him and his colleagues into targets. They stood by as his family lived in fear and briefly fled their home.

Because of their actions and inactions, Gates said, his integrity had been questioned. He was labeled a traitor who should be shot or hung. One person wrote on social media that his daughters should be raped. He worried his own parents, avid Fox News viewers, might believe the lies about him.

The election in Maricopa has been audited and double-secret cyberninja-ed. It's over.

Except of course, for the malicious gossip online.

Congrats, you are part of the problem.

Actually, I just want to get to the truth, something it seems we do not share interest in.

"Chief Justice Robert Brutinel said Lake’s challenge over signature verification remains unresolved."

Kari Lake's lawyers fined in failed Arizona election lawsuit

The Arizona Supreme Court is sanctioning Republican Kari Lake's lawyers $2,000 in their unsuccessful challenge of her defeat in the governor's race last year to Democrat Katie Hobbs. In an order Thursday, the state’s highest court says Lake's attorney knowingly made “unequivocally false”...

Certainly I am interested in the truth, but this remaining claim seems to do with an offsite contractor in the 2022 election, not the official in the OP. Likewise, your tweet image is a different county altogether.

If you want to discuss voter ID then find or make a thread to do so. This thread is about a particular elections official. If you have a specific charge to lay against him, do so. Don't just post video from some otherwise random dude unconnected to the topic at hand.

SO you DO know the topic. Then you know that Ken Paxton is irrelevant and that this "Bill Gates" fellow (of Arizona) didn't indict Ken Paxton.

He fears for the life of his family....thanks to people promoting a lie.

He stood for the truth...and is paying a price.
