Here outside the Maricopa vote counting center. #stopthesqueal crowd is diverse and still going strong

People have brought their kids and there’s people here from Women for Trump, Jews for Trump, Latinos for Trump

Quite a few people here are every day voters who are upset at what they believe to be issues with their ballots (sharpies kept coming up) and want a fair and equal election

A few Trump supporters who just met here were sharing their experiences voting and they believe their ballots were compromised or not properly counted.

Arizona GOP told them to submit an incident report to: [email protected]

This Trump supporter is an Arizona native and when she found out her state was going blue, drove home early from her Vegas vacation because she was convinced there was fraud.

“I don’t believe it,” she says. “There’s no way this state is blue”

She was also told it’s best to be outside the voting center at night because “that’s when the suitcases full of mystery ballots start showing up”

I asked if she’s seen anything suspicious here and she said no

Back at the Maricopa counting center, where Charlie Kirk is set to speak. He’s part of a network of high-profile right-wing figures who jumped in and helped spread the Stop the Steal/Protect the Vote campaign across the country. Mike Cernovich and Alex Jones were here yesterday

No one is wearing masks. In fact, this speaker encouraged everyone to rip them off, calling them a government muzzle

Supporters and speakers here are pissed at the Republican Party, especially Gov. Ducey, and Fox News for not protecting their vote and “throwing them under the bus”

Charlie Kirk furthering the narrative that Republicans are against Trump voters, telling the crowd that they’ve seen what conservatives have done “to get rid of this president,” calling it a coup

He also repeated baseless voter fraud claims about counting in battleground states

Alex Jones is back

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones continues to encourage Trump supporters not to accept the outcome of the election.

from outside the Maricopa voting center. This demonstration has been going since 9 am and some of the organizers say they plan to park it here until results are announced and even after

Eva Mayo represents a lot of Trump supporters with her distrust of of government and democratic systems. She said this has made her question whether any election “was really fair,” and brought up Romney

When I asked about Trump’s win in 2016 though, she said that was legit

And in this is where we are today: This guy kept interrupting Alex Jones bc he was upset that the conspiracy theorist wouldn’t admit that the earth was flat. Then Jones’ fans got upset bc they couldn’t hear his speech about baseless other fraud theories

Trump supporters here in Maricopa have been heckling the media because they believe they’re hiding ballots in their cars, especially since the license plates are from out of state (bc they’re rentals)

“I’m tired of being nice,” one guy shouts

They’ve also been freaking out over big trucks driving by, like this Enterprise one. This woman says she’s been filming them going by bc she believes, without evidence, that they’re moving ballots.

Several artists here as well

The crowd outside the Maricopa counting center thinned significantly by this evening, leaving a unique assortment of attendees, including a couple who arrived with a flute and pipe to help cleanse the bad news vibes from the area

One thing I keep hearing from Trump supporters here is that this is a massive “patriot movement” born from many regional and local groups that do their own thing but have been congealing together more and more

“It’s a grassroots of different groups,” Alan Nichols of Tucson said

I am back at the Maricopa voting center, where hundreds of Trump supporters are still here congregating.

A group of Biden supporters are across the street and have been chanting and cheering.

I walked up right as this heated exchange unfolded

This group of Latina women have been yelling back and forth with Trump supporters for about 30 minutes, Itzel said.

The 20-year-old has been confronting them about not wearing masks and supporting a racist president

Things have escalated quickly here. Trump supporters keep coming over and have surrounded the small group of younger Latina women. They’re 17-20 years old and groups are screaming at each other about racism and the future of this country

Phoenix Arizona right now.

Right-wing figures like Baked Alaska and Catboy Kami are instigating and inflaming this situation. Some armed Boogloo boys have also crossed over and are watching

The tense conversations started between a few Trump supporters and the Biden group, focusing on COVID, why this group was waving a Mexican flag, and conspiracy theories about Biden being a pedophile

More snippets of the clash between the young Latina group of Biden supporters and Trump supporters, which were partly inflamed by right-wing social media personalities

Police were not getting involved. This armed Trump supporter said he and several others were working as volunteer private security and came over to ensure the young Biden group were safe, and they did. He said police couldn’t get involved because there were no acts of aggression

Other Trump supporters, including Q wolf, came over to try and de-escalate the clash and pull the confrontational right-wingers back across the street

After things calmed down a little bit Itzel and the other young women said the experience was scary and sad, but they were not about to back down, get intimidated, or stop speaking their minds bc they were standing up for their immigrant parents, who Trump tried to get rid of

Feeling victorious, they erupted into a “No More Years!” chant and danced

The young Latina women say they’re not her protesting, they’re “celebrating”

“Four years ago they told us to deal with it. We dealt with it. Now it’s their turn”

Quite a difference in vibes here at the Maricopa voting center. Same rally. Different street corners

Meanwhile, this is happening rn at the Trump rally outside the Maricopa voting center

Today was a day. On this note I am from the Maricopa voting center

Swung by the Maricopa voting center on my way out of Phoenix this morning. Not a Trump flag or supporter in sight. What a difference 24 hrs makes
