Recorder Demands Contempt Over Election Control

About this episode

Justin Heap demands a judge hold the Maricopa County board of supervisors in civil contempt over election control issues.

Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap is escalating a high-stakes election control battle by demanding a judge hold the county’s board of supervisors in civil contempt, just one month before the state primary — after they ignored a court order to return election functions and IT staff to his office. Heap seeks forced compliance and fines to fund his office, claiming the supervisors overstepped their bounds. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
