>The Gateway Pundit has obtained damning excerpts from Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer’s June 21, 2024, deposition transcript in his defamation lawsuit against Kari Lake and her husband, showing that Richer contemplated running for Senate to “make life hell for Kari Lake” and admitted that he is “anti-MAGA” shortly after the rigged 2022 election where 60% of voting machines failed on election day in Maricopa County. >Of course, he made it clear to the public that he is anti-MAGA after he founded the Pro-Democracy Republicans dark money PAC to eliminate candidates with a MAGA agenda, admitted to voting for Democrats in 2022, and planned to vote for Biden in 2024. >It can be recalled that Richer oversaw early voting in Maricopa County during the 2022 election, where the race was stolen from Kari Lake through vote tabulating machine failures that disenfranchised Republicans on election day and phony mail-in ballots with no real signature verification. >Then, apparently, in an attempt to “make life hell for Kari Lake,” Richer sued her for defamation after she spoke out against him for his involvement in her election for Governor, where he also operated a PAC against candidates like Kari Lake. . .
