Update: Arizona Republican Chair Jeff DeWit resigned on the morning of January 24, 2023. Read his response at the end of this article.

Runbeck Election Services, State & Local Officials Implicated

A powerful Arizona Republican called candidate Kari Lake making an offer for her to “pause” for two years to drop out of the Arizona Senate race in 2023.

LISTEN TO RECORDED CONVERSATION HERE

Listen to the audio of Arizona’s Republican Party chairman asking for her price to step down from this year’s election.

“There are very powerful people who want to keep you out,” Jeff DeWit said.

“So the ask I got today from back east was: ‘Is there any companies out there or something that could just put her on the payroll to keep her out?’”

“This is about defeating Trump and I think that’s a bad, bad thing for our country,’ Lake responded.

“Just say, is there a number at which….” DeWit says later in the conversation.

Lake stopped him, “I can be bought? That’s what it’s about.”

“You can take a pause for a couple of years,” he suggested. “You can go right back to what you’re doing.”

“This is not about money, it’s about our country,” she responded with some choice words during the call.

“I don’t want to make a deal with these kinds of people. This is a hill worth dying on,” she told him.

‘I’m not … if they’re gonna steal the election to make me and our movement go away. I’m not letting them do that.” 

“I owe it to the people of Arizona to carry their torch and voice.”

The phone call was in March 2023, when she first indicated she was considering a senate run. By October 2023, she announced her run. 

Lake has previously mentioned the extraordinary efforts to keep her out of the race but never revealed who was behind it.

On Monday, Arizona talk show host Garret Lewis named DeWit, who was elected chairman of the party in January last year.

“If this is, in fact, true, I’m asking AZGOP Chairman Jeff DeWit to resign.” said Maricopa County Republican Committee Chairman Craig Berland.

Interestingly enough, DeWit’s call to Lake was soon after State Representative Liz Harris was condemned by establishment Arizona politicians for bringing Jacqueline Breger before a special joint hearing  involving members of both the Senate Elections and House Municipal Oversight and Elections committees on the February 23, 2023 hearing on election security.

Breger revealed that the Sinaloa cartel has been paying bribes to public officials in Arizona, including judges and elected officials such as Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs and Secretary of State Adrian Fontes.

Breger’s evidenced documents named names:

Judge Mesa Municipal Court Alicia Lawler,
City Councilwoman Alicia White,
City Councilman David Luna,
City Councilman Francisco Heredia,
City Councilwoman Jenn Duff,
City Auditor Joseph Lisitano,
Councilman Kevin Thompson,
Mayor John Giles,
City Attorney James (Jim) N Smith,
City Prosecutor Paul Hawkins,
City Treasurer Ryan Wimmer,
Assistant Prosecutor Sabrina DeCosta,
Chief Information Officer Travis Cutright,
Presiding Judge John P Tates,
Presiding Judge David M Cutchen,
Secretary of State / Governor Katie Hobbs,
Recorder / Secretary of State Adrian Fontes,
US Senator Kyrsten Sinema,
Congressman of 3rd Congressional District Ruben Gallego,
Speaker of the House Ben Toma.

Of special interest were officers of Runbeck Election Services who have been implicated in  election fraud suspicions in Arizona, Georgia and other states since 2020. These included President of Runbeck Election Services Robert Runbeck,
COO of Runbeck.

Others on the list were the COO of Precision Arrow Jeff Ellington,
Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates,
Maricopa County Supervisor Thomas Galvin,
Maricopa County Supervisor Clint Hickman,
JA to Judge Marvin Davis Madison Hughes,
Judge Bruce Cohen,
Judge Richard Nothwehr,
Judge Michael D Barth,
Judge Brian Kaiser,
Policeman Jacob G Rossler,
Police Detective in Town of Gilbert Brian Bullock,
and Police Detective in Town of Gilbert David Ferer.

Breger’s testimony revealed that these officials accepted bribes from Adona Ray Chavez and her adopted daughter Brittany Ray Chavez, who were the key participants in the racketeering.

Breger indicated that Adona and Brittany Ray Chavez facilitated the bribes of public officials and were connected to the corrupt real estate agents who have worked for the Sinaloa Cartel for over 25 years.

Breger explained that the investigation into the racketeering began about five years ago by investigating the laundering of drug cartel money through single-family residences in Illinois. They discovered that several real estate agents had set up laundering activities in Arizona, which was “pervasive and ongoing” in Maricopa and several other counties.

Her firm represented parties damaged by money laundering and found fake notarizations, fake deeds of trust, and straw buyers.

The related crimes included narcotic sales, bankruptcy fraud, life insurance fraud, payroll fraud, extortion schemes, bribing elected officials, creating and modifying public records, swatting individuals who pose a threat to the cartel activities, and election fraud.

Breger said the Maricopa County database has absolutely no integrity whatsoever and that racketeering enterprises are inextricably intertwined with election fraud.

Breger said that multiple state databases have been infiltrated or hacked, allowing falsified documents to be uploaded into them and allowing legitimate documents to be removed. She alleged that all three state universities’ computer systems have been hacked, with degrees forged for individuals who never graduated.

Regarding the Maricopa County database, Breger said the database for the Maricopa County Recorder and the Maricopa County Superior Court was designed in 2014 to be infiltrated. Breger revealed that hundreds of falsified documents have been loaded into the court database, including default judgments and child support orders, and used in swatting activities against individuals who posed a threat to the cartel activities.

Breger went on to say that since 2004, elections with Pima County and Maricopa County have been manipulated through the infiltration of the county databases, resulting from bribes paid to officials and election service providers, including principals of Runbeck Election Services.

She said this affected the 2020 recorder’s race and the races for governor, attorney general, and secretary of state in 2022.

She implicated several public officials, including county supervisors, judges, and prosecutors within and for Maricopa County, who she claimed accepted bribes for protecting the racketeering activities. Breger estimated that at least 25 percent of the judges within Maricopa, Pima, and Pinal Counties have accepted bribes to protect the Sinaloa Cartel’s interests.

Breger alleged that laundered cash is used to bribe Arizona public officials and their staff. She said over 10,000 fraudulent documents were recorded with the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office, and over 35,000 warranty and trust deeds evidencing fraud exist in the database. She added that there were over 15,000 falsified notarizations in the database as well.

Breger accused Adona Ray Chavez and her adopted daughter, Brittany Ray Chavez, of facilitating bribes of public officials. She said the pair allegedly executed deeds under falsified names, including as the buyer, seller, or notary, and forged the signatures of judges. According to Breger, Adona Ray Chavez and Brittany Ray Chavez have worked for the Sinaloa Cartel for over 25 years and are connected to corrupt real estate agents.

Breger alleged that Brittany Chavez moves money for candidates, in part through nonprofits.

In October 2020, she said they discovered over 100,000 ballots and $13 million in two unmarked rental cars being unloaded at a home in Mesa and then driven to Runbeck Election Services. She said they found suspicious deeds for Runbeck and its President and CEO Jeff Ellington. They also found suspicious deeds for Adrian Fontes, the former Maricopa County Recorder.

Breger said she has over 500 pages of reports on officials involved in racketeering activities, and she produced copies of some of the deeds of trust for the legislators to look at. She said in their research, they found that some of the title and mortgage companies do not exist.

Breger concluded her testimony by saying that since at least 2004, ballot counts have been tampered with, and Brittany Ray Chavez moves money for candidates through nonprofits.

Predictably, the following month, the Arizona House of Representatives expelled Harris with a 46-13 vote. An expulsion requires a two-thirds vote of the chamber.

Jeff DeWit’s Response at Resignation

“The release of our conversation by Lake confirms a disturbing tendency to exploit private interactions for personal gain and increases concerns about her habit of secretly recording personal and private conversations.

This is obviously a concern given how much interaction she has with high profile people including President Trump.

I question how effective a United States Senator can be when they cannot be trusted to engage in private and confidential conversations.”
