#News Two Maricopa County Board of Supervisors election employees were caught inside the Ballot Tabulation Center at 10:30 p.m., inserting flash drives into computers on the first day of early voting for the November 3 election. The video was posted by We Are The People Alliance.
Republicans say Maricopa County is now in damage control, claiming the employees were just ‘finishing up work’ before the weekend, however, they point out that their actions came after Logic and Accuracy testing.
Former Gubernatorial and Senate candidate Kari Lake saying, “My source tells me:
“This is the same duo that scraped 650,000 voters off the election server a few years ago. He admitted the crime to the FBI. “
“Our AG refused to prosecute. The fact that they are still employed by the county is beyond my ability to fathom.”
➡️The footage shows the pair in the Ballot Tabulation Center (BTC) room that houses the EMS server and adjudication terminals.
➡️The employees left their day shift at 6:23 p.m., returned at 9:08 p.m., and stayed until about 11:15 p.m.
➡️They identify one as Brian Ramirez and say both are hired and supervised by Elections Director Scott Jarrett under the Board of Supervisors, not the Recorder’s office.
➡️The post notes that the BTC equipment is subject to Logic and Accuracy testing and should not be altered afterward; Arizona law treats unauthorized modification of certified voting equipment as a class 5 felony.
➡️Logic and Accuracy testing for the November 3, 2026, general election took place on October 5. Early ballots started going out on October 7.
Maricopa County Supervisor Mark Stewart’s statement indicated that the County Manager confirmed the employees’ status and the dual-access procedure. He said their activity was routine completion of work.
Maricopa county – which is home to about 2.5 million registered voters – is marred with issues and irregularities
🔷️The Board of Supervisors and Recorder Justin Heap have spent months in litigation and mediation over which office controls different election functions, IT systems, and personnel.
🔷️Past disputes include the 2020 Cyber Ninjas review (which alleged deleted files and other irregularities that county officials rejected or said were recovered),
🔷️Printer and tabulator problems in 2022, and
🔷️A June 2026 incident in which a Recorder’s office employee removed a scanner from the facility, prompting an internal review and $70,000 replacement cost.
Election-integrity advocates, including Lake, say the late-night activity is another red flag.
County officials say that the employees were following established procedures on equipment that is not internet-connected.
They have not released the specific work logs, badge records, or media serial numbers for the night in question.
Whether the flash-drive activity involved routine data movement, software updates, or something else has not been detailed by the county beyond the general statement that work was being finished.
Do you believe the county’s explanation of authorized after-hours work? Or is Kari Lake right and there’s something else going on here?
