Justin Heap has filed suit against Maricopa County!
Great work, Justin! ❤️‍🔥🤍💙
We must regain sovereign control of our elections!

Here’s a what you need to know:

- The lawsuit stems from a dispute over a Shared Services Agreement (SSA) negotiated by former Recorder Stephen Richer before Heap took office in January 2025, which shifted election duties to the Board of Supervisors.
- Maricopa County’s election administration has faced scrutiny since the 2020 and 2022 cycles, with allegations of mismanagement fueling voter distrust, a key issue in Heap’s campaign.
- The Justice Department recently targeted Arizona on June 6, 2025, for alleged violations of the Help America Vote Act, adding pressure to the state’s election oversight debates.
- America First Legal, representing Heap, previously sued Maricopa County in 2024 over election integrity concerns, including chain-of-custody issues and AI signature verification.
- The conflict coincides with a February 2025 standoff between Heap and the Board over a new SSA, highlighting ongoing tensions in Arizona’s largest county.
