LD11 had their revote last night (12/27) and re-elected a new Board and State Committeemen. They even had one PC participate live from Canada. Notice this revote was not called “unfair” or “illegal” and didn’t receive threats and coercion from the Maricopa County Chair like LD3 did.
From Mickie Niland on December 19th:
“Therefore, I am giving this LD Leadership team one more opportunity to show that they can act as their oath of office states “Fair and Impartial in the discharge of their duties. ” In my view their action calling for an election on December 28th casts doubt on the stated goal of having a free and fair election. IF, note the IF, they do not call for another election after the holidays. I will tell Chairman Ward that I approve the presently existing list of State Committeeman which I submitted to them on December 14th along with all the other LD’s State Committeeman lists.”
One PC described the threats from Mickie Niland toward the LD3 board similar to how Katie Hobbs threatened the Cochise County Board of Supervisors.
Mickie falsely stated in an email “Unlike the LD11 where both were challenged. So luckily for you, you are only voting to see if your SC election will be redone or if the existing election stands. Nothing more.”
Yet an anonymous whistleblower has provided an audio recording of the MCRC Executive board vote after its investigation which says: “A motion to ask them to do the same thing we are asking LD11 do…a motion have them conduct their election the same as LD11…we recommend that LD3 convene and decide whether to have a new election…” This vote carried 8-2 and there was NO MENTION of State Committeeman Only.

Another PC posted these details proving the 12/28 meeting was correctly called and noticed with full authority and consequence:
FACT: 12/17/22 LD3 board meeting was called by three members of the board according to our bylaws.
FACT: That board meeting was ATTENDED by ALL FIVE board members (indicating proper notice and invitation).
FACT: Chair Czarny officially presided at the meeting AND CALLED THE MEETING TO ORDER!
(Now why would she do that if the meeting was invalid?)
FACT: Chair Czarny and Sec Alford BOTH participated in voting in that meeting!
(Again, why would they do that if the meeting was invalid?)
FACT: Official meeting call notice was sent out according to our bylaws
It looks Mickie Niland is the one who is in violation of her oath of office and is acting neither fairly, impartially, or honestly.

The Insanity that I saw at that LD3 meeting was not only an embarrassment to the entire party but the attitude of that chair to fellow LD members was actions of someone who is desperate to hold onto any power. I am a state committeeman and a PC Captain I’m appalled that this has been allowed without censure They Basically had the America Pack Cops on standby. These same attitudes we saw at both statutory meetings. Kelly Ward and Mickie have done much damage to our party and the LD 3 “chair ” needs to be removed and censured. These are intentional division tactics. a new election needs to be held and maybe some audits of any and all elections where proxies are involved.
