“As a part of his guilty plea today, Smith admitted signing the name of a deceased woman on one of his candidate nomination petitions in March of 2024,” Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a statement. “He also admitted that he attempted to deceive the Secretary of State’s Office by knowingly filing petitions containing forged signatures of purported supporters of his nomination for the Republican primary for State Representative from LD 29.”

      Don’t worry (sarcasm), he was replaced with a die hard trumper… I literally know his replacement, James Taylor, he lives down the street from me. I have literally had his wife tell me directly that covid was a hoax and she knows it because James was put on a ventilator and survived his covid just fine. Dude literally almost died and was put in a medical coma while on a ventilator, and that wasn’t enough for either of them to take Covid seriously… Suffice it to say, I try to avoid talking to them when I see them…
