ARIZONA — The Arizona Attorney General’s (AG) Office has uncovered several voter fraud cases related to voting or elections since 2010, and the mainstream media has been mostly silent about it.
Through its Fraud & Special Prosecution Section, the AG’s Office has compiled a partial list of 34 voter fraud cases in Arizona. More will be forthcoming.
Many defendants have already made plea agreements, and other cases are still ongoing, according to a list provided by the AG’s Office on Feb. 2.
WTF is the AG of Arizona doing here instead of prosecuting the proven voter fraud?

Crap like this reflects badly on him & Republicans in general for good reason. It's stupid & embarrassing. https://t.co/CeysdeY7Co
Most defendants have been fined thousands of dollars, ordered to complete community restitution and placed on probation.
Some defendants were placed on unsupervised probation instead of a supervised version.
Attorney General Mark Brnovich is aggressively prosecuting voter fraud in Arizona. Happy Wendy Rogers and Ron Watkins? @get_innocuous

The allegations against so many defendants are revealing how vulnerable election systems are in critical states and counties throughout the U.S.
FOX 10 reported that Joe Biden was declared the winner of Arizona by a margin of fewer than 10,500 votes.
Despite Democrats gloating and saying there was no evidence of 2020 voter fraud, Arizona’s AG Mark Brnovich has found and prosecuted it.
However, one question worth pondering is whether current penalties are tough enough to discourage future voter fraud.
Left Logic:

Arizona School Board Member Indicted for Ballot Harvesting Voter Fraud in Yuma Countyhttps://t.co/DjuS0LwjdX
For example, in January there was a plea agreement between Defendant Alma Yadira Juarez and the State of Arizona.
Juarez pleaded guilty to a Class 1 misdemeanor of Ballot Abuse, also known as “ballot harvesting.”
On page 7 of the plea agreement, Juarez acknowledged the following:
“On August 4, 2020, I, Alma Yadira Juarez, did knowingly collect voted early ballots from another person, and those early ballots belonged to individuals for whom I am not a family member, household member, or caregiver.
“I did this when I possessed four (4) early ballots for the August 4, 2020, primary election which were given to me by Guillermina Fuentes.”
The crime carries a maximum sentence of just six months, and probation is available.
In addition, the maximum fine that can be imposed is $2,500 along with an 83 percent surcharge and additional surcharges and assessments, according to the plea agreement.
Keep going! The Democrats use the trickle down effect. It starts at the top and it goes all the way down, get every single one of them from the top to the bottom. Orders were given and orders were followed.

Initially, in December of 2020, AG Brnovich announced in a press release that a State Grand Jury indicted Juarez and her associate, Fuentes, both of San Luis, Arizona, for 1 count each of Ballot Abuse.
The Dec. 23 press release further noted:
“The indictment alleges that during the August 2020 Primary Election, Fuentes and Juarez knowingly collected four voted ballots from another person, in violation of Arizona law.
“The early ballots were deposited into a ballot box on Election Day, and were processed and counted by the Yuma County Recorder during the election.
“Arizona law only provides for a family member, household member, or caregiver of the voter to collect voted or unvoted early ballots from another person.
“Ballot abuse under Arizona law is a class 6 felony and each defendant faces up to two years in prison and a $150,000 fine.
“This investigation was conducted by the Arizona Attorney General’s Office Special Investigations Section, Election Integrity Unit, Special Agent Bill Knuth.
“Assistant Attorney General Todd Lawson is prosecuting this case.”
The indictment alleged that Fuentes and Juarez possessed and delivered four mail-in ballots to a voting precinct at one time in contravention of state law.
Under Arizona law, only a member of a person’s household may deliver their ballot to a precinct center for them.
Then on Oct. 5, 2021, AG Brnovich announced through a press release that a State Grand Jury had indicted Fuentes, of San Luis, on additional charges related to her alleged illegal conduct in the August 2020 Primary Election:
“Fuentes is accused of voting for another person with an early ballot.
“In December 2020, Fuentes was indicted on one count of Ballot Abuse, also known as ‘ballot harvesting.’
“That charge, which is also included in the new indictment, alleges that during the August 2020 Primary Election, Fuentes knowingly collected four voted ballots from other persons, in violation of Arizona law.
“The early ballots were deposited into a ballot box on Election Day, and were processed and counted by the Yuma County Recorder during the election.
“Arizona law only provides for a family member, household member, or caregiver of the voter to collect voted or unvoted early ballots from another person.
“In addition to the Ballot Abuse charge, the new indictment alleges three additional felony charges: Conspiracy, Forgery, and an additional Ballot Abuse count.
“The new charges allege that Fuentes conspired to obtain and vote the early ballot of another individual in the August 2020 Primary Election.
“The indictment further alleges that Fuentes knowingly signed the individual’s name on an early ballot envelope, and that she allegedly violated another part of the Ballot Abuse law by marking the individual’s ballot.”
Associated Press reported last October:
“Fuentes, 65, a Democrat, is a former mayor of the border city of San Luis. She serves as an elected board member of the Gadsden Elementary School District in San Luis.
“Calls seeking comment from her attorney in the earlier case, Anne Chapman, were not immediately returned.”
Curious as to what are the possible penalties?? It’s time to make these penalties big enough to stop the fraud!

AZ Free News reported last summer that concerned citizens had provided the FBI with damning videos of ballot abuse in Yuma County.
The outlet noted that two local election integrity watchdogs used hidden cameras to record ballot harvesting incidents at two polling stations in San Luis:
“Gary Garcia Snyder and David Lara revealed in a radio interview with Sergio Arellano that they utilized hidden cameras to record ballot harvesting incidents at two San Luis polling stations on Aug. 4, 2020, which was primary election day.
“The city of 33,000 is in the far southwest corner of Arizona on the Mexico border.
“Among those seen on the video dropping off more than their one personal ballot were Guillermina Fuentes, a member of the Gadsden Elementary School District board in San Luis, and Alma Yadira Juarez.
“Both women have been indicted on a Class 6 felony of ballot abuse for allegedly collecting four ballots which were later processed and counted by the Yuma County Recorder.”
AZ Free News also reported that Snyder and Lara revealed how the illegal practice of ballot harvesting is done:
“Snyder and Lara, who are local businessmen, discussed the problem of fraudulent ballot harvesting with Arellano, who has testified at the Arizona State Senate about ballot harvesting in Southern Arizona and how voters can be taken advantage of, particularly in majority-minority areas.
“Lara first wanted to clarify that the type of illegal ballot harvesting taking place in San Luis does not involve simply helping someone get their ballot to a polling station. Instead, it is much more insidious, he says.
“What most people commonly think of as ballot harvesting involves a closed envelope with a ballot that had been voted by the voter.
“But the men say what is happening in some communities, particularly Latino and low-income neighborhoods, is the taking of someone’s blank ballot and signed early ballot affidavit envelope.
“The ballot is then filled out and dropped off (aka harvested) without the voter’s input.
“Because the real voter signed the early ballot affidavit, there is no way for election officials to know someone other than the voter filled out the ballot.”
I don't know why people have hopes in Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich doing the right thing by opening the investigations into voter fraud and indicting the criminals…
— IndianConservative🇺🇲❤ (@ConservativeIn9) February 20, 2022
He is RINO and not going to do shit …
Find alternate ways friends !
Lara suggested that those engaging in illegal ballot harvesting are trying to normalize the practice in order to take advantage of more naïve voters:
“It’s done in such a manner that it’s so subtle and gradual that the community believes it’s the norm.
“They think that it’s acceptable and they think this is the way it’s done; this is the way you do things.”
Lara said ballot abuse is also being done by staff members of various nonprofit organizations that have contact with residents and build trust with them. He told Arellano:
“So, what happens is this: you go to a non-profit, you know as a member of the community, and you ask for help.
“It could be housing, it could be health, it could be whatever, filling out documents, you name it.
“When you walk in they will ask you, oh, by the way, are you registered to vote? Oh, well, no, I’m not. Is your family registered? No. Well, we can help you.”
At that point, Lara said that the new voter is either told who to vote for or to just sign a ballot and don’t worry about the rest as it will be taken care of for the person. Lara noted:
“They’ve actually tricked the community in believing they’re doing the right thing, they’re voting, they’re participating, yet they’re not really informing the community that they’re being lied to, used, and manipulated.
“San Luis is ground zero as far as voter fraud. That’s where it started in 1997. It has spread through the state and it was perfected in San Luis.”
AZ Free News reported that Snyder said the FBI has video footage of Juarez bringing multiple early ballots to a local San Luis polling station:
“The footage, he says, shows the early ballot affidavits were signed but the envelopes were not sealed. Fuentes, 65, is reportedly at the same table when the ballots are dropped off.”
Ironically, in December of 2020, it was reported that Fuentes was sued for accusing a San Luis, Arizona mayoral candidate of orchestrating voter fraud in 2010. The candidate alleged Fuentes libeled her.
The fraud in question allegedly occurred before the August primary election in Arizona.

National company that protects cops and their families throws support behind “Re-Fund the Police” campaign
Editor note: If you want to get in the fight and help re-fund the police, click here.
If you’re interested in learning more about protecting your family with Officer Privacy – click here – proceeds to directly into the national “re-fund the police” campaign.
CALIFORNIA – Law Enforcement Today is delighted to share with our readers that OfficerPrivacy.com has generously joined us as a corporate sponsor in our campaign to “Re-Fund the Police.”
As a loyal reader of Law Enforcement Today, you are probably aware that we initiated a campaign to back the blue and support “re-funding” rather than defunding the police, while publicizing the detrimental effects of defunding the police and the countless positive contributions to our society that our brothers and sisters in blue make every day.
Corporate sponsor OfficerPrivacy.com has dedicated itself to the “Re-Fund the Police” cause with a generous contribution to the refunding efforts.
This company is the brainchild of owner, Navy veteran, and law enforcement veteran Pete James.
In the Navy, James honorably served on an aircraft carrier as an Intelligence Specialist.
After his military service, James moved on to a 25-year career in law enforcement in California, ultimately retiring at the rank of lieutenant.
View this post on Instagram
James is also a computer forensics expert who has testified in both state and federal courts, and he has worked on thousands of criminal, civil, and corporate cases as a private Open-Source intelligence investigator.
He also holds several college degrees and six computer forensics certificates.
James kept in close contact with his many former colleagues in law enforcement and actively followed changes in the law enforcement community. He repeatedly heard about incidents in which a criminal found an officer’s personal information online and would then harass and dox them and their family.
In his work in forensics and his private investigations, James utilized people-search websites, the very sites that were being used to collect the private information being used to attack officers.
These sites show officers’ names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, the names of their relatives and are available to anyone performing an internet search.
Therefore, James married his expertise in law enforcement and computer forensics to create OfficerPrivacy.com, which protects officers by removing their personal data from the top 50 people-search websites and monitors those sites for any reappearance of that data.
James noted:
“After spending 25 years in law enforcement, I am using my experience, love and respect for the profession to make life safer for LEOs.
“My goal is to help provide a layer of privacy to all officers and their families.”
James and his team at OfficerPrivacy.com have created software that helps officers in all 50 states quickly and easily remove personal, private information from the most prominent people-search websites.
Furthermore, the software also monitors those websites, so if personal identifying information arises again, the officer can remove it quickly and easily.
Officers have two options for assistance at OfficerPrivacy.com.
One package features “Do-It-Yourself (with our help),” in which officers begin with a 14-day free trial of access to software that assists in removing personal identifying information. Officers are also provided with direct links to the most prominent people-search websites, for ease of access.
Thereafter, monthly package fees allow for the officers’ continued and continuous monitoring of those people-search websites for reappearance of personal information.
The other package option is “We Do the Work for You.” In this option, the OfficerPrivacy.com team removes officers from the top 50 people-search websites and continuously monitors those sites for personally identifying information. Monthly package fees cover monitoring by the team for reappearance of that information.

The OfficerPrivacy.com team is comprised of U.S.-based current and former law enforcement officers.
OfficerPrivacy.com is endorsed by The Deputy Magazine, Blue Lives Radio, Badge Boys Podcast, The Squad Room, Proud Police Wife, Sacramento LEO Chaplaincy, and the Police Officers’ Credit Union Assoc.
The impressive and protective benefits that OfficerPrivacy.com provides are not limited to law enforcement officers only. In fact, approximately half of the clients are officers’ spouses or are employed in other professions, such as teachers, realtors, and lawyers.
OfficerPrivacy.com is not only committed to keeping personal information safe from the prying eyes of people-search websites, but it is also committed to limiting who can see information within the company itself. Only vetted, active or retired law enforcement officers see client information.
Furthermore, the company keeps minimal data on clients, data which is protected by encryption and two-factor authentication. Naturally, no client data is ever shared or sold.
Law Enforcement Today is immensely grateful to OfficerPrivacy.com for their tireless dedication to protecting the privacy – and safety – of police officers nationwide, and for generously walking along with us to “Re-Fund Our Police” in the face of political and media-based pushes to defund those who protect and serve.
OfficerPrivacy.com has also graciously offered to back the “Re-Fund” cause with their own media campaign efforts.
As LET’s Executive Director, Kyle S. Reyes, notes:
”In an age where countless officers are doxxed and their families are being targeted for no reason other than their service to the community, it’s crucial that we find a way to protect them from those who seek to do them harm.
“Law Enforcement Today has partnered with OfficerPrivacy.com because there’s no greater way of helping put a digital shield of protection around them.
“Every officer and their family need to sign up. It’s perhaps the best ‘insurance policy’ we’ve seen yet.”
Pete James has honored Law Enforcement Today and our “Re-Fund the Police” campaign with these words:
“OfficerPrivacy.com is honored to partner with Law Enforcement Today, a solid and dependable supporter of LEOs, to ‘Re-Fund The Police.’
“Instead of cowering to those who scream the loudest, we must challenge with facts the anarchists and uninformed who want to destabilize and destroy our country by calling for defunding the police.
“The ‘Re-Fund the Police’ marketing campaign will make great strides in educating policy makers while honoring those who stand for the thin blue line.”
Re-Fund the Police”: Law Enforcement Today launches nationwide campaign for Americans to back the blue
Originally published October 10, 2021
Editor note: In 2020, we saw a nationwide push to “defund the police”. While we all stood here shaking our heads wondering if these people were serious… they cut billions of dollars in funding for police officers. And as a result, crime has skyrocketed – all while the same politicians who said “you don’t need guns, the government will protect you” continued their attacks on both our police officers and our Second Amendment rights.
And that’s exactly why we’re launching this national crowdfunding campaign as part of our efforts to help “re-fund the police”.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA – You back the Blue. You support the police. You quietly buy an officer a cup of coffee at your local coffeehouse. You bring homemade cookies to your local police station. You make it a point to thank an officer when you see one out in public.
You watch the news, aghast to see crowds of anti-police protesters and rioters committing acts of violence and massive property damage. You pray daily for the Blue family.
And yet, you may feel quite alone.
Politicians and the mainstream news media would have you think that police support is at an all-time low.
Some of you may have found it necessary to take down your Thin Blue Line flags from your house, or to scrape off the Thin Blue Line sticker from your vehicles, due to the potential for violent retaliation by those who hate the police.
Yes, it is the loudest voices that are the ugliest. They revile and attack those who back the Blue. They call, “Defund the Police!” at every turn, fueled by the lie that police officers are racists who are out to kill.
But you are actually in excellent company in your support of the blue family.
According to a Gallup poll, 85% of Americans support law enforcement. That means supporters of the Thin Blue Line are 285 million strong.
That would be 285 million who, like you, refuse join in the calls to defund the police.
And that means you are in the company of those who have logic and reason on their side.
After all, we at Law Enforcement Today bring you stories daily of exploding crime in police-defunded areas such as Austin, Portland, New York City, or Los Angeles.
Homicide rates since defunding are up 58% in Atlanta, up 533% in Portland, and up 37% in Philadelphia.
Shootings in post-defunded New York City are up 64%, and they are up 51% in Los Angeles and up 18% in Chicago.
In addition, you have also followed our disturbing and often tragic stories of attacks on police officers in the era of police defunding.
Felonious attacks on police are on the rise, as documented by the FBI’s Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) Data Collection.
According to LEOKA:
“The 50 law enforcement officers feloniously killed in the first 8 months of 2021 represent a 51.5 percent increase compared to the 33 officers killed during the same period in 2020.”
Also thanks to defunding, police departments across the country now lack training, resources, and equipment. Ironically, calls for additional training in cultural awareness, de-escalation, and use of force often have to go unheeded due to the lack of financial resources.
Another irony is that the push to do away with less-lethal options such as Tasers and tear gas will simply lead to more fatal police shootings.
These alarming stories and statistics indicate beyond a doubt that defunding the police is absolutely the wrong move for this great country. You know this, yet you and 285 million other voices are all too often silenced by social pressures as well as physical threats of violence.
You are even told, “Silence is violence,” when it comes to refusing to stand against law enforcement.
Your voice matters, and you need to be heard.
As Law Enforcement Today National Spokesman Kyle Reyes points out:
“Americans have stood by in disbelief as this ‘defund the police’ movement has spread across America and ravaged our communities.
“We’ve watched our cities burn, our officers be attacked and violence skyrocket.
“It’s time to come out of the twilight zone. It’s time to fight back.”
Law Enforcement Today, the nation’s largest police-owned media outlet, has developed a way to make your voice heard and oppose those who would seek to remove funding from those who protect and serve.
It’s called the “Re-Fund the Police” campaign.
Reyes explains:
“We wanted to make the “Re-fund the Police” campaign something that everyone- whether you can spare $1 or $1 million – can be a part of.
“People will donate to politicians all day long in hopes that person will get elected and possibly make a difference.
“We are asking for people to come forward and support those who make a difference and save lives every single day.”
Through your generous donations, Law Enforcement today will direct a media and advertising blitz to rally other Americans who, like you, are done with attacks on law enforcement, both physical and financial.
Here’s what the funds go towards:
- We’ve assembled a “strike team” of researchers and reporters who will delve deeply into the devastating impact that defunding the police has on communities and families. They’re going after not just the “leaders” in Congress who are pushing to defund the police… but they’re exposing everyone from the local politicians and city councils who are behind it. They’re also tracing the money of exactly who is funding this “defund the police” movement.
- We will focus on publicizing all the negative effects of defunding police while expressing support for our brothers and sisters in blue. The advertising blitz will be a show of support for police officers all across America.
In addition, we will be sending a team of reporters into our communities to share positive stories of law enforcement, stories which are consistently ignored by the mainstream media.
As a thank-you for your generosity in standing strong for the blue family, we are offering access codes for Law Enforcement Today’s Wounded Officer documentary and Border Crisis documentary. In addition, we offer additional perks such as stickers and Thin Blue Line face masks or yard signs.
Donors are also able to honor or memorialize a member of the blue family.
For those who cannot afford to contribute, we invite you to be a part of a nationwide chain of prayer warriors.
You can join our prayer chain along with other supporters who are willing to pray for our brothers and sisters in blue.
Also, when you sign up for our newsletter, we will keep you informed on how we are continuing to back the Blue, and bring you the stories the mainstream media will not touch.
Now to small businesses who are sick and tired of watching our cities burn as the “defund the police” movement spreads.
For business donors, we are pleased to offer a unique opportunity to make a difference in police departments across the country.
Reyes explains:
“We wanted to make sure small businesses could get in the fight, so we are rolling out the ‘adopt a police department’ program.”
Your business donation will be used to cover stories in the community of your choice, and expose those who are attempting to defund the police. Those stories, if you choose, will also include a thank you to your business and a link back to your business website.
In addition, your generous business donation will go toward advertising campaigns that highlight the negative effects of demonizing and defunding the police.
This will give you the opportunity to show to millions of Americans that, unlike “woke” anti-police organizations, you support and appreciate law enforcement.
Reyes points out:
“Corporate America rallied around the Black Lives Matter movement, donating hundreds of millions of dollars to a campaign that brought widespread looting and destruction in our cities.
“This is an opportunity for businesses to show America that law and order and keeping people safe still means something to them.”
Please join your voice with Law Enforcement Today in this campaign to support all those who protect and serve us.
We invite you to visit the Re-Fund the Police website for further information.

It’s time to get in the fight.
