Republican meltdowns over Arizona election results have echoes of January 6th

The MAGA movement is out in force in Maricopa County, Arizona, as votes continue to be counted in last week’s midterm elections.

Gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s allies are questioning the ballots cast outside same-day voting as fraudulent, echoing Donald Trump’s lies after his own election loss, and right-wing demonstrators have gathered outside vote-counting centers to denounce election officials and sheriff’s deputies stationed outside as traitors, reported The Bulwark.

“PATRIOTS RISE UP to RALLY tomorrow SATURDAY NOON at the Maricopa County Elections office (510 S. 3rd Ave. Phoenix) to pray for the Light to shine in the darkness and for His truth to be revealed!” posted far-right state Sen. Wendy Rogers last week.

A loose confederation of Boogaloo Bois, Christian nationalists and other protesters answered Rogers’ call to action, which she described as a “Jericho March” — in a clear echo of the Jan. 6 insurrection.

“You may remember the organization named Jericho March and its role in laying the groundwork for the January 6th insurrection,” wrote Annika Brockschmidt and Thomas Lecaque for The Bulwark. “As God instructed the Israelites to walk seven times around Jericho and blow the shofar (horn) so that the walls would fall and everyone within the city would be slaughtered in God’s name, so believers have taken up the mantle of spiritual warfare and continued Jericho Marches in Maricopa County. The target that they are currently circling, which holds their enemies, is the center in which votes are being counted.”
