In a poll ran June 5th, 92.5% of the 253 respondents replied Yes, to the question “Should Merissa Hamilton immediately resign as AZGOP Member-at-Large in light of being censured for brokering a felony bribe for Jeff Dewit and violating AZGOP Bylaws publicly soliciting donations for Justin Heap while treating other Republican candidates unfairly during primary?”
It is unclear if Merissa or any of her organizations are receiving financial benefit from Heap or the Heap campaign. It is will known that Merissa and EZAZ have received financial and non financial benefits to support other candidates in the past. Merissa has continued to act as Heap’s henchman or campaign social media manager with mudslinging untrue personal attacks against Don Hiatt. At the same time she defends Justin Heap’s insults to Trump and MAGA as “out of context” when clearly the full post is shown and they are not out of context. This is a clear violation of the AZGOP bylaws as she is not treating “all Republican candidates fairly”. Membership in the AZGOP includes elected State Committeemen, elected officers such as AZGOP MAL which Merissa is, and County Chairs and 1st Vice Chairs. Those messages can be seen below:
Article IV – OFFICERS C. Method of Electing
2. The Republican Party of Arizona shall treat all Republican candidates fairly during the primary irrespective of whether the party has aided in the recruitment of such candidate or any other factor. In races without a primary election, the Republican Party of Arizona shall continue to treat all candidates fairly through the general. Notwithstanding, this paragraph does not apply to either judicial retention elections or in presidential preference elections, or potential presidential preference elections, where an incumbent Republican president is seeking re-election.
It is important to note that Precinct Committeemen are not members of the AZGOP (which has also been illegally reformed into an LLC which should be reversed) and not subject to these requirements. Were Hamilton to resign as Member at Large of the AZGOP and as a State Committeemen, she would be free to endorse, fundraise, and run Heap’s campaign without issue.
Arizona House Representative and Maricopa County Recorder Candidate Justin Heap has been caught once again in multiple lies and multiple violations of the Arizona Constitution. The video begins with a news story segment, but at 1:40 dives into the Arizona Constitution and specific issues the people have been having with Heap. Please watch the entire video. This is a pattern of behavior of an arrogant liar, violating the rights of the people on both sides: left and right. This unethical man is in complete violation of his oath of office and Constitutional duty to the People of Arizona. See the video below.
Justin Heap Violating Arizona and US Constitution and Recent US Supreme Court Ruling Against Blocking on Social Media
Heap’s @azjustinheap X/Twitter and other social media accounts are in violation of the Arizona Constitution and US Constitution First Amendment Freedom of Speech Rights. Heap’s social media is being used as a public forum where he as an elected government official is exercising his state authority in speaking. Blocking is denying the below 29 citizens their Constitutional Rights to engage in free or political speech:
The Arizona Constitution, Article II, Section 6: Freedom of Speech and Press, states “Every person may freely speak, write, and publish on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of that right.”Korwin v. Cotton, CV 12-0878 (Ariz. Ct. App. May 8, 2014). The Arizona Constitution Art. 2, § 6 has a “greater scope than the first amendment.”Mountain States Tel. & Tel. Co. v. Arizona Corp. Comm’n, 773 P.2d 455, 459 (Ariz. 1989). “The Arizona Constitution gives the right of speech directly to the people”. Phoenix Newspapers, Inc. v. Superior Court, 418 P.2d 594 (Ariz. 1966); Phoenix Newspapers, Inc. v. Jennings, 490 P.2d 563 (Ariz. 1971)
The United States Supreme Court ruled on March 15, 2024, that “such speech by government officials can be attributed to the state, and thus subject to First Amendment scrutiny, only if the person involved has the authority to speak on the state’s behalf and if the official purported to be exercising that authority on the social media platform. The standard set by the court Friday applies to all government officials.” The ruling upholds O’Connor-Ratcliff v. Garnier in which the San Francisco-based 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the parents, the Garniers who sued the School Board Trustees under 42 U. S. C. §1983, seeking damages and declaratory and injunctive relief for the violation of their First Amendment rights, concluding that the social media pages were a public forum protected by the First Amendment”– USA Today
Justice Amy Coney Barrett: “Social accounts viewed as official communication channels allow for lawsuits when they’re used to speak on the state’s behalf.” and “Supreme Court rules public can sue officials who block, mute them on social media” – Post Millennial. In January 2019, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals confirmed a lower court ruling in Davison v. Loudoun Cty. Bd. of Supervisorsthat blocking people on social media is viewpoint discrimination in its most natural form. The Court ruled that government officials are “strictly limited” in their ability to regulate private speech in public forums—even in forums they create on social media. Similarly, Leuthy et al. v. LePage (2018), a court ruled that blocking people who disagreed with Governor LePage of Maine, constituted not only viewpoint discrimination, but government censorship as well.
Perhaps most importantly, as it involved the nation’s highest office, in July 2019 the Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court decision by ruling unanimously that President Trump’s practice of blocking critics on social media violates the First Amendment. Restricting participation in social media forums such as Heap does is Unconstitutional. The vast democratic forums of the internet are essential for the exchange of views, especially political speech, which is at the core of First Amendment protections. It is crucial that members of the public remain a part of the conversation, and by doing so are protected when their views are expressed. Being denied that opportunity is significantly harmful to citizens, voters, Several Counties, Arizona, and the United States of America.

Kari Lake’s endorsement and backing of Maricopa County Recorder Candidate Justin Heap was met with widespread public ridicule, confusion, and refusal in a public tweet she posted at 8:30pm on June 7th saying “Vote @azjustinheap for Maricopa County Recorder!”
What Was Don Hiatt Writing about Tump A year Ago About the Same Time?
Hiatt Recently Released a Public Statement on Election Integrity Saying “As for me and my household, we are MAGA”
Comments On Kari’s X Post Include:
“Ok. I’m confused. Why would you be doubling down on the establishment pick? The attorney who answers to the BAR and not the People? The man who is clueless as to how to protect our elections? The man who accomplished nothing to protect our elections while serving as a Representative of AZ? Don Hiatt is the grassroots choice! He has spent every day of the last four years investigating the elections. He has an IT background and can protect the elections from outside interference. He is the grassroots candidate for and of the People. This makes no sense. Who could possibly be influencing you to make such a decision?” – Gail Golec #American Patriot #MamaBear
“Come on Kari. Those of us in the Grassroots Conservative effort to clean this damn state up of the criminal McCainites are now having to watch you and Trump endorsing them. Who are you getting your info from on these people, it isn’t the people supporting you?” – WLCrow
“You need to explain this pick!!! Very concerning Kari”. – Pitt53
“You are listening to too many Rinos. Why don’t you get back to listening to the People” – ArtChicken
“I’m very disappointed that you’re backing Trash Heap. Don Hiatt is the right man for the job. Don can clean up the election fraud in Maricopa County.” – Hard Based
“Kari you’re letting the Ultra MAGA down:1) Gov. to Senator,2) Endors. Gina Swaboda-she doesn’t have the proper AZGOP status,3) Not 100% prolife, 4)Endors. Justin Heap-NOT Election Intelrigrity trenches-untruthful, coat tail rider! Are you % grassroots with no strings attached?” – Mfernandez
“I would look more closely into this guy. It seems like he is cut from the same cloth as @steven_richerI wouldn’t be surprised if they went to the same incestual clubs the government bodies in AZ have to F the people.” – RY NO
“This choice is puzzling. Please explain.” – TRUTH Seeker and Speaker
“You are backing the wrong horse in this race.” – Diana Jones
“No thanks. No, Never Trumpers for me.” – Hans Giesholt
“Very disappointing you keep endorsing Heap even after seeing the evidence he is NOT MAGA. You’ve lost all credibility!” – AZandME
“He is a NEVER TRUMPER” – Brian Staudenmaier
“No never Trumpers Kari.” – Ainphx
“WRONG Mrs Lake. DO NOT Vote @azjustinheap for Maricopa County Recorder. Heap will be worse than Richer. ARIZONA VOTE FOR Don Hiatt Make Arizona Elections FAIR and TRANSPARENT Again! MAGA” – 𝓡𝐄𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐀☆· ˖° (she posted this graphic)
During the Below video, Heap refuses to admit that the 2020 Election was stolen and falsely claims that most Republicans believe Election Integrity is only a #4-5 priority:
In the below video, Maricopa County Recorder Candidate Justin Heap takes questions from Precinct Committeemen in Legislative District 12 on May 14, 2024. See that video at the bottom below. Heap recently came under fire for several tweets he posted as recently as 1 year ago insulting President Trump and the MAGA movement including saying: “I’m not MAGA, I didn’t vote for Trump the first time and I hoped he would not run again because I believe he is too polarizing.” – Justin Heap August 1, 2023, “Trump is a serial philanderer and womanizer…” – Justin Heap April 9, 2023, “Actually cult rehabilitation is a well studied & documented field of psychology. But like I said, I’m not a Trump supporter. So your accusations are meaningless.” – Justin Heap May 10, 2023, and “Which glasses, Honey? I’m not a Trump supporter.” – Justin Heap May 10, 2023 prompting the circulation of the below graphic:
Heap released a public statement refuting his own quote, saying ” ‘The first time’ means the 2016 Primary. I voted for Ted Cruz. Then for Trump in the general.’ ”
Voting data from Navajo County and AZ State data verified with 2 reliable sources shows Justin Heap was lying and DID NOT vote in the 2016 Primary Election.
However, evidence shows he did not vote in the 2016 Primary. Therefore the first time was the 2016 General Election. There is no evidence to prove that Heap voted for Trump in the 2016 General Election; rather contrary evidence means the most likely truth is that Heap is lying now and his original statement that he didn’t vote for Trump in 2016 is correct.
During the Below video, Heap refuses to admit that the 2020 Election was stolen and falsely claims that most Republicans believe Election Integrity is only a #4-5 priority:
2. The Republican Party of Arizona shall treat all Republican candidates fairly during the primary irrespective of whether the party has aided in the recruitment of such candidate or any other factor. In races without a primary election, the Republican Party of Arizona shall continue to treat all candidates fairly through the general. Notwithstanding, this paragraph does not apply to either judicial retention elections or in presidential preference elections, or potential presidential preference elections, where an incumbent Republican president is seeking re-election.
Merissa is publicly pushing #nevertrumper Justin Heap for Recorder over the other two Republican candidates, seeking donations for him (possibly receiving monetary or non monetary compensation by Heap or his campaign) and not treating “all Republican candidates fairly”. This is a clear violation of the AZGOP bylaws, membership in which includes elected State Committeemen, elected officers such as AZGOP MAL which Merissa is, and County Chairs and 1st Vice Chairs. MERISSA HAMILTON MUST RESIGN IMMEDIATELY!
It is important to note that Precinct Committeemen are not members of the AZGOP (which has also been illegally reformed into an LLC which should be reversed) and not subject to these requirements. Were Hamilton to resign as Member at Large of the AZGOP and as a State Committeemen, she would be free to endorse, fundraise, and run Heap’s campaign without issue.
Maricopa Recorder Candidate Justin Heap was recently exposed as a “Never Trumper” posting publicly at least 4 messages saying he “was not a Trump supporter” and mocking Trump and MAGA as recently as 1 year ago. Those messages can be seen below:
“I’m not MAGA, I didn’t vote for Trump the first time and I hoped he would not run again because I believe he is too polarizing.” – Justin Heap August 1, 2023
“Trump is a serial philanderer and womanizer…” – Justin Heap April 9, 2023
“Actually cult rehabilitation is a well studied & documented field of psychology. But like I said, I’m not a Trump supporter. So your accusations are meaningless.” – Justin Heap May 10, 2023
“Which glasses, Honey? I’m not a Trump supporter.” – Justin Heap May 10, 2023
According to reliable sources: “Justin Heap was not a registered Republican during Trump’s presidency. He didn’t register as a Republican until after Biden became president. Registered on June 30, 2017 as an “OTHER” Didn’t register until May 18, 2021 as Republican. And he did NOT VOTE in the 2016 presidential preference election. “
I would love to question Heap on this, but he is a coward and illegally blocks me on X in violation of the Arizona Constitution, US Constitution, and recent US Supreme Court Ruling on social media blocking. Heap does the same illegally to scores of voters. One Precinct Committeeman said “At least 4 others so far have reported that @azjustinheap has blocked them on “X”. So much for openness and transparency. He blocks people from social media, his guys block people from the door, and it seems like Merissa only accepts people who change parties if she is on their payroll.”
Another said “Its a shame, though J.Heap has been caught in multiple líes & though he claims he doesn’t remember all the LIES. IT Lets US know He’s NOT ONLY UNqualified as RECORDER, BUT HES ALSO A lying Heap of ”
One PC said “Heap literally took off his name tag and pretended he wasn’t heap! I was asking him about my 2022 ballot, at a Kari lake town hall. He hoped I didn’t see his name. He literally reaches up, takes OFF his name tag, does a whole lot of nodding as i talk to him, and he passed the buck, saying I should talk to Kari Lake’s people or Maricopa. Then, he stepped away from his table to blend in with the crowd. He literally ran away! So heap, who wants to be recorder…. can’t handle even basic questions about this, or even form an intelligent sentence about it …. If he isn’t curious in the least bit on 2022 (or 2020, it seems) was stolen when someone literally put the evidence in his hand and he walked away, ducked and ran, what is his purpose as recorder?”
On Tuesday May 14, 2024, the body of Legislative District 3 censured AZGOP CD1 Member at Large Merissa Hamilton and demanded she resign that position immediately. The censure referenced the below evidence that Hamilton committed a felony bribe, acting as the broker in an illegal document titled the “LD3 Peace Accord” proposing the creation of two separate legislative districts in violation of A.R.S. §16-823. Legislative district committee; organization. Hamilton and former AZGOP Chair Jeff Dewit (who has since resigned) both attempted to push for and offered a felony bribe, violating A.R.S. Title 13. Criminal Code § 13-2602. Bribery of a public servant or party officer. Hamilton admitted to that crime in the below audio recording. The below censure demands that Merissa Hamilton resign from her position as AZGOP MAL immediately. Read the full censure below.
Audio Recording of Merissa Hamilton Admitting Her Crime:
Documented evidence including emails, draft agreement, audio recording, and first hand witness account prove AZGOP Chair Jeff Dewit has committed a class 4 felony and is openly violating Arizona Law in a bribery scheme designed to create more division of the Republican Party. This was corroborated by a first hand witness and admitted by Candace Czarny in an email.
A. A person commits bribery of a public servant or party officer if with corrupt intent:
1. Such person offers, confers or agrees to confer any benefit upon a public servant or party officer with the intent to influence the public servant’s or party officer’s vote, opinion, judgment, exercise of discretion or other action in his official capacity as a public servant or party officer; or
2. While a public servant or party officer, such person solicits, accepts or agrees to accept any benefit upon an agreement or understanding that his vote, opinion, judgment, exercise of discretion or other action as a public servant or party officer may thereby be influenced.
B. It is no defense to a prosecution under this section that a person sought to be influenced was not qualified to act in the desired way because such person had not yet assumed office, lacked jurisdiction or for any other reason.
C. Bribery of a public servant or party officer is a class 4 felony.
On December 19, 2023 at 11:10:23 PM MST, AZGOP Member-at-Large Merissa Hamilton sent an email referencing a document titled the “LD3 Peace Accord”. Hamilton was acting as the broker in this deal, which AZGOP Chair later called by phone to push for and offer the bribe. That call was recorded.
Recording of Jeff Dewit Discussing Felony Bribe to Party Officers
Are Turning Point, Charlie Kirk, and Tyler Bowyer just grifters misleading Republicans away from victory while they enrich themselves? The correct way to win is the proven method and success seen in Argentina and Panama, hand counting paper ballots with id. Those countries saw massive conservative victories and their countries are being revitalized like never before. Ballot chasing is proven NOT to work and is all about $ and grifting. Ballot chasing was a massive failure in the Arizona 2022 School Board Elections where Turning Point and others were very actively and publicly ballot chasing yet their position lost in nearly every large budget school district in the state. Arizona is the state in which Turning Point is based.
Perhaps James Woods Put it Best:
Video: Donald Trump Says at NJ Rally “Mail in voting is largely corrupt”:
Proven methods of hand counting with voter ID are scalable and can be done precinct by precinct, district by district, county by county, and state by state.
It is time to pressure Federal and State judges, and Federal and State legislatures to do the right thing and focus on proven strategies that actually work and can defeat ballot fraud and machine fraud.
