Arizona GOP Candidate Warned Over Election Interference

“The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office on Tuesday ordered a Republican candidate to stop urging voters to replace government-issued pens at polling stations,” the Arizona Republic reports.

“In a cease and desist letter, the County Attorney’s Office told Maricopa County Board of Supervisors candidate Gail Golec (R) to immediately retract social media posts.”

Said Deputy County Attorney Joseph La Rue: “As you well know, theft of any sort is unlawful. Moreover encouraging theft of the fast-drying ink pens specifically recommended for election day voting is a deliberate attempt to interfere with election administration.”
