Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell recently sent a legal letter threatening OMG over our citizen journalism efforts, claiming that our hidden camera investigations could constitute as "election interference." However, our attorneys have responded, making it clear that overseeing and reporting on the election process is not interference—it’s the essence of journalism and accountability. As our attorney Benjamin Barr said, "Labeling recordings interference is like suggesting ears cause trouble. Sometimes the First Amendment just means listening."

We refuse to allow officials like Rachel Mitchell and Joseph E. La Rue to misinterpret the First Amendment and threaten independent journalism. Our legal team calls for Maricopa County to "welcome, not scold, citizen journalists and observers as part of its commitment to civilian oversight today."

With figures like CBS's David Becker urging us to "trust official sources," it's clear that pushing for full transparency and oversight is...

"She [Kamala Harris] might have Philadelphia, but she got to win all states," remarked Joseph Bellinger, a poll supervisor standing by a ballot box outside the Philadelphia City Commissioners Office located at 5610 Lancaster Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19131. Poll supervisors are bound by strict neutrality to ensure voter trust and integrity, prohibiting them from sharing political views. According to 25 Pa. Stat. § 3031.11, "no such election officer shall, when giving such instructions, in any manner request, suggest or seek to persuade or induce any such voter to vote any particular ticket or for any particular candidate." Yet, Bellinger hinted at his belief in Harris’s lead, adding, "I mean, you know my opinion."

A security official in the office who works alongside Bellinger stated confidently, "She got that in the bag, bro," reinforcing the sentiment with, "That's my opinion." The exchange took an unexpected turn when two other locals joined in, with one announcing, "I'm [voting for] ...

Contrary to the implications made by Mitchell, O'Keefe Media Group has upheld transparency regarding its commitment to refrain from sending hidden cameras to Arizona for legal purposes regarding voter privacy, raising questions about the communication practices within the county.

In a recent phone call exchange, O'Keefe questioned Jeanine L’Ecuyer, the Maricopa County Chief of Staff for Strategic Planning and Communication, about her office's potential involvement in the leak.

The last Kennedy

One last walk
Through raging throngs
Spit in his face
Hiding old tears
Denied by history

One last walk
Towards the throne

Never give up
Never surrender
Camelot lives

Will @OKeefeMediaGroup be having telethons again this week?
