Katie Hobbs Stepping Down as Arizona Governor?

So in short Wednesday September 27, 2023 evening, the Arizona treasurer announced that she would serve as acting governor beginning later that evening until mid-morning Thursday, amid a short absence from Gov. Katie Hobbs. So far it looks like it's because she's not in the state for some reason in an "Extended Leave" so in a press release on X, (Twitter,) Arizona Treasurer Kimberly Yee announced her brief tenure as acting governor, saying that she is "pleased to step in this role."

The Republican state treasurer noted that during her less than 24 hours as acting governor she would refrain from confirming the 13 agencies that still hold vacancies and wait for the Democratic governor to fill them upon her return.



"While I am pleased to step in this role, I will refrain from naming directors to the 13 agencies that currently have vacancies and will not call the Arizona Legislature into session to confirm them," Yee said in an X post. "That being said, I do hope when the Governor returns to Arizona, she will promptly name qualified directors to these important state agencies."



"I expect to see a quick resolution on this matter, so we can get the work done for Arizona taxpayers," Yee added. In a statement to Fox News Digital on Wednesday, Hobbs' Communication Director Christian Slater explained that Arizona's constitution requires the Governor to be in Arizona and the next person in line becomes acting governor.



Since Arizona does not have a lieutenant governor and Arizona's Attorney General and Secretary of State were also out of state, the responsibility fell to Yee. In a statement to Fox News Digital on Wednesday, Yee's office explained why the treasurer would be acting governor since Hobbs was out of state.



"On background, Arizona law states that when the Governor is out of state, the next elected official in line serves as acting Governor. In this case, the Governor, Secretary of State and Attorney General will all be out of the state leaving Treasurer Yee as acting Governor."

Online some already are saying this is because there might be a hammer about to drop on Katie Hobbs over her clear rigging on the election which put her in as Governor. I mean she was involved in all aspects of the election not just by running but the actual "Machines" used to count the votes were owned by her, and she oversaw the votes. 

These things alone proves there is something fishy going on in that election but I'm sure by now most know how this entire thing is almost a mirror at the nation wide rigging of the 2020 Presidential election that landed up the worst President in USA history! A Father of a person who is a "CRACKHEAD, SOLDOUT TO CCP, and RUSSIA!" We all know the left has found the way to "CHEAT TO WIN" and this is all starting to be seen by the American people as more and more support for Former President Trump has come even after each indictment.

Maricopa County Chairman Transferred to Undisclosed Location After Death Threats

A top Maricopa County election official has been moved to an undisclosed location over safety concerns following the midterm elections. Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates confirmed on Sunday that he was transferred and provided a security detail after workers at the Arizona county elections office faced months of escalating death threats that made it increasingly difficult to do their job. 

Gates, a Republican, has faced particular backlash as a vocal critic of false election claims spurred by Trump’s election denialism in 2020. Gates’ transfer comes on the heels of a particularly volatile gubernatorial race in the swing state, in which Trump-backed MAGA candidate Kari Lake lost to Democratic challenger Katie Hobbs. 

So far, Lake has refused to concede the race. On Monday, hours before she was projected to lose, an attorney for Lake’s campaign allegedly called Maricopa County to warn the office of “a lot of irate people out there” that their campaign “can’t control,” according to The Washington Post. 

And just last week, a dozen people were seen hurling insults at Gates during a meeting of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors—reportedly at the behest of Lake, according to Fox10.
