GOP State Senator Ken Bennett, who represents Arizona’s 1st District, has spent years sabotaging election integrity efforts in his state, which was plagued by unprecedented fraud in 2020 and, thanks to Republican Bennett and his Democrat allies, has failed to properly secure its voting systems ahead of the 2024 race.
In March of this year, Arizona State Senator Ken Bennett joined forces with race hustlers, abortionists, illegal aliens, and environmental scammers, among others, to block legislation that would have limited early voting and forced Arizona counties to facilitate precinct voting, as opposed to the large-scale “vote centers” seen in the notorious Maricopa County, the state’s most populated area. The vote center election method has been slammed by critics and election hawks as deliberately chaotic and susceptible to fraud, and accordingly, Maricopa County has been plagued by election irregularities, election fraud, and outright election failures, with citizens being unable to vote in many cases, and many of those who do have no confidence that their ballot is being counted.
According to a report by the Arizona Daily Independent, in blocking the precinct voting legislation, “Bennett joins the State Conference NAACP, Common Cause, Planned Parenthood Advocates Of Arizona, Sierra Club, and the illegal immigrant rights group, Living United For Change In Arizona (LUCHA), in opposition.”
As mentioned, Bennett’s vote with Democrats to preserve the fraud-ridden vote center election method and protect early voting is not his first rodeo.
For years, Bennett has drawn the ire of conservatives for his frequent willingness to cross party lines and maintain the status quo, which has made Arizona synonymous with crooked and chaotic elections nationwide.
In 2021, Bennett was caught leaking information on the Maricopa County election audit to the liberal press, and later, despite documented fraud in his own home state, Bennett personally declared Joe Biden the rightful winner of the 2020 Presidential Election.
Bennett’s track record, which also includes support for satanism and childhood transgenderism, has come into focus as he faces a primary challenge from Trump-endorsed Arizona firebrand Mark Finchem, who has developed a national reputation as a hardcore election hawk.
As National File recently reported:
In February [of 2024], Bennett voted with Democrats to kill Senate Resolution 1013, which would have put restrictions on transgenderism in public schools up for a vote among the people of Arizona. If approved, the resolution would have barred public schools from allowing men to use girls’ restrooms and changing facilities (and vice-versa), while also barring public schools from socially transitioning children behind their parent’s backs.
…
That same month, Bennett was one of just two Republicans to vote against the RESPECT Act, short for Reject Escalating Satanism by Preserving Essential Core Traditions Act, which would have barred the construction of satanic displays such as memorials, statues, and altars on public property in Arizona.
The final vote tally was 14 votes against the measure and 13 votes in favor of it, making Bennett’s vote a critical piece of Democrat efforts to in block the legislation.
