On Election Day 2024, Real America’s Voice reporter Ben Bergquam and Jordan Conradson from The Gateway Pundit reported from Maricopa County, raising concerns about the voting process in Arizona’s most populous county.

Ben Bergquam exposed an unexpected directive coming from Washington elites. According to Bergquam, ICE agents were told to change out of their uniforms before voting.

A voting booth is set up for students to vote in a mock election Friday, Oct. 4, 2024 at Plainfield High School. The election is part of the Indiana Kids Election program in Indiana schools made available through a grant from the Eli Lilly Foundation to teach students about voting.

The reason? Officials allegedly feared that their uniforms might make illegal immigrants waiting in line uncomfortable.

“You got to see that to believe it!” Bergquam said, emphasizing the unusual nature of the request. This added to an already tense atmosphere, especially given Maricopa’s recent election troubles.

Conradson, speaking to Steve Bannon’s War Room, shared that the ballot process in Maricopa was taking about 30 minutes per voter. With four pages to get through, he noted, “Expect long lines again.” This extended voting time, along with earlier concerns about equipment failures, only heightened the frustrations among voters in the area.

Maricopa County has a track record of election difficulties. Back in 2022, technical issues led to major delays when machines went down in polling stations across the county.

This breakdown caused lines to stretch up to four or five hours, leaving many voters waiting far longer than they anticipated. The apparent issues in 2024, while different in nature, have raised questions about whether Maricopa County officials are once again interfering in the voting process, potentially impacting election integrity.

Voters line up and wait to receive a ballot while others sit at the voting booths on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024, at Ben Reifel Middle School in Sioux Falls.

Reports like these raise concerns about election security and efficiency. With high voter turnout expected this year, Arizona residents are paying close attention to the way election officials handle the voting process.

Although Maricopa County has not issued an official statement addressing these specific incidents, the complaints about delays and peculiar directives fuel ongoing debates over transparency and trustworthiness in the county’s election management.
