U.S. Rep. Eli Crane appeared on the WarRoom with Ben Harnwell to address key concerns about election integrity in Arizona, focusing on Maricopa County. As Donald Trump surges ahead in the polls, both men stressed the urgency of securing elections, particularly with November fast approaching.
Trump Dominates Polls, But the Real Challenge Begins
“Trump is now 20 points ahead on the betting market,” Harnwell remarked, referencing betting platforms where users wager on election outcomes. He emphasized, "It’s not just polls, people are putting their money on this.” The data suggests a confident expectation of a Trump victory, but as Crane and Harnwell discussed, the real challenge lies in ensuring a transparent voting process.
Arizona’s Legal Setbacks and Concerns
Arizona, a battleground state, faces legal battles over election practices. Crane expressed frustration about a recent court ruling that blocks any attempt to ensure citizenship verification before Election Day. “Very disappointing,” Crane said, recounting how he, alongside other Arizona congressmen, sent a letter urging state officials to take action. “Our office, along with Congressman Andy Biggs and others, raised concerns, but the judge’s decision leaves us limited time.”
Crane highlighted the significance of this ruling, especially as illegal voting becomes a more pressing concern. He added, “The open borders are part of the strategy. They want illegals to vote.”
Voter Vigilance and Citizen Engagement
Crane discussed the role citizens can play in countering potential fraud. His message was clear: “If you see something suspicious, record it. Send it in.” He encouraged voters to use their phones to document any irregularities they might witness at polling stations. “This simple act could hold election officials accountable,” he said.
Crane pointed to platforms like Open Ink as vital tools for citizens eager to monitor election transparency. He emphasized the need for grassroots vigilance, particularly in Maricopa County, Arizona’s largest and most politically influential area.
Influential Figures on the Ground: Greg Phillips and Justin Heap
Crane also introduced Greg Phillips from “2000 Mules” as a crucial player in securing Arizona’s elections. Phillips will be in Arizona to help illuminate voting processes that have, in Crane’s words, been “shrouded in secrecy for too long.”
Additionally, he brought up Justin Heap, a Republican running for office in Maricopa County. “Heap is running in one of the most important yet overlooked races in Arizona,” Crane noted, urging supporters to assist Heap in his fight for election transparency. “He needs help, as dark money flows in from around the country.”
Democratic Pushback and Challenges Ahead
Crane pointed out that a recent bill to prevent illegal aliens from voting passed in Washington, D.C., but it received little support from Democrats. “Only five Democrats voted for it,” he said, adding that this resistance demonstrates the Democratic Party’s unwillingness to secure elections.
In conclusion, Crane stressed that Arizona is a focal point in the national struggle for election integrity. With figures like Justin Heap and Greg Phillips actively working to safeguard voting processes, he remained hopeful that citizens’ efforts would make a difference.
With the momentum building, Crane’s final message was clear: “We need to secure the elections and make sure it’s too big to rig.”
