President Trump sounded the alarm on the cheating in Arizona’s elections on Monday, slamming Maricopa County elections as “crooked” and “very, very dishonest” after the election vendors sent out thousands of ballots by mistake.A similar issue occurred in 2022, when over 60,000 ballots with incorrect races were sent to voters by mistake ahead of the August primary elections.Maricopa County announced on Sunday that over 3,000 ballots were mistakenly sent to voters by its ballot printing vendor, Runbeck Election Services, nearly a week before early voting is set to begin in the Grand Canyon State.Runbeck has a history of errors and is believed to be behind the wrongdoings of the 2020 and 2022 elections in Arizona. Even in 2024, when Trump won in Arizona, Runbeck was accused of election security violations, including commingling blank ballots with voted ballots.The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on this shady private entity, which was founded by leftists and transports and scans Maricopa County mail-in ballots with no oversight or chain of custody before they are processed and counted by the County.Back in 2022, Runbeck was accused by Former Trump-Endorsed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s attorneys of creating massive discrepancies in ballot chain of custody documentation and generating tens of thousands of ballots that seemingly appeared out of nowhere.It would appear the fix is in with Governor Katie Hobbs, who stole the 2022 election from Lake, up for reelection against Trump-Endorsed Republican Congressman Andy Biggs.The Maricopa County Recorder’s office announced the so-called error, adding that the County Recorder’s office did not approve the ballots to be sent out.“Runbeck Election Services informed the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office that it had mistakenly mailed 3,126 early ballots the previous day, six days before the scheduled October 7 mailing date. The premature mailing was not authorized by the Recorder’s Office, which was notified only after it occurred,” the County wrote.“Runbeck’s error affected only the timing of the mailing. The correct ballots were mailed to the correct voters,” the statement continued, however, claiming that the ballots will remain valid and that “no voters were adversely affected.”The county also published a statement by Runbeck, which the ballot vendor refused to release publicly. “The MCRO believes this is the wrong call, so we are posting it publicly for them,” they wrote.Today, Runbeck Election Services (RES) issued the following statement to the media.We requested that in the interest of transparency they also post the statement publicly; however, they refused.The MCRO believes this is the wrong call, so we are posting it publicly for them.— Maricopa County Recorder’s Office (@RecordersOffice) October 4, 2026We asked Trump about the so-called error on Monday, and he went off, calling the anomaly “crooked.”“Maricopa just sent out thousands of ballots in error, Maricopa County in Arizona,” Trump said. “And they have to be ashamed of themselves.”“By the way, there were no errors. You know that, right? There were no errors,” he continued, announcing it to the rest of the press.“Did you hear that? Maricopa sent out thousands of ballots illegally, and they got caught! And now they’re saying it was an error. Maricopa is a very, very dishonest county.”WATCH:!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2vbt6g"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");Rumble("play", {"video":"v7e9ctu","div":"rumble_v7e9ctu"});Kari Lake also slammed the so-called error, calling for honest elections in Arizona.Aren’t the good people of Arizona entitled to honest elections??
