Citing a public uproar on the news, “Stop the Steal” asshole former Arizona state Senator Kelly Townsend on Monday withdrew her application to run the already deeply dysfunctional election system in rural Cochise County, VoteBeat Arizona’s Jen Fifield reports.
“The reaction … was really ugly, and I’m not really interested in playing in that sandbox,” Townsend told Fifield. The far right former state Senator is a possible person of interest in the federal criminal post-2020 election coup investigation, having been served a subpoena by FBI agents to testify to a grand jury for her connections to the fake Trump 2020 electors scam last summer.
