Rep. Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ) recently spoke to The Gateway Pundit about his efforts to clean up federal elections and fight against election fraud in Congress, revealing that justice may be coming for his rigged 2022 election in Arizona.
Hamadeh made his political debut in 2022, running alongside Trump-Endorsed gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake as the Trump-Endorsed candidate for Arizona Attorney General. He reportedly lost to far-left Democrat Kris Mayes by just 280 votes. This was after statewide errors left thousands of Republican votes uncounted and 60% of voting machines across Maricopa County failed to tabulate ballots, creating four-hour wait times for voters. Evidence suggests that the machine failures were intentional, targeting Republican in-person election day voters.
Hamadeh told us that he recently met with FBI Director Kash Patel, has had conversations with several people in the Trump Administration, and he is “actively working” on delivering justice for those involved in rigging that election. “Stay tuned to see what happens,” Hamadeh said. “We haven’t forgotten.”
He further noted that he’s still watching what’s happening in Maricopa County, Arizona, where the County Board of Supervisors is currently fighting the County Recorder’s office after the Board stripped the Recorder of election oversight duties. Recorder Heap says a “quickly and secretly executed” Shared Services Agreement was “collusively” entered by RINO Former County Recorder Stephen Richer and RINO Board Chairman Thomas Galvin. In a statement, Heap said the agreement, created months before he took office, was “designed to do only one thing: keep me from fixing Maricopa County’s elections.”
Hamadeh said:
I still think there needs to be an investigation.
I’ve had conversations with many people in the administration, and I don’t want to divulge in my conversations with them, but I want the people of Arizona to know that I’m still active with it And I had a great meeting with Director Patel, and obviously the conversation of elections was brought up, so I’m still seeking justice. I’m just going to say, stay tuned to see what happens. We haven’t forgotten; I have not forgotten.
Every day I’m in this office, every day I meet with some of these folks who come in from Arizona, I always remind them about those machine malfunctions and that there’s been no accountability. And I’m watching what’s going on in Arizona too, with the Supervisors and the Recorder. There’s a lot of it. You know, don’t trust those who failed us the first time. They probably intentionally failed us, right? So we’re working on that. I am actively working on that.
Since taking his seat in January, Hamadeh has already introduced several election integrity bills in the House, including a bill to codify President Trump’s “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections” executive order, the Voting Only Through English (VOTE) Act, and the Preventing Ranked Choice Corruption Act.
President Trump’s March 25 executive order mandates voter ID and documentary proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections, audits and improves the security of voting machines, and orders the DOJ to enforce the law against states that count mail-in ballots received after Election Day. It also prioritizes the enforcement of laws preventing foreign money from influencing elections and federally funded organizations from lobbying or supporting candidates. And it directs the Department of Homeland Security to cross-reference state voter rolls with federal immigration databases to ensure illegal aliens are not registered.
Discussing his bill to codify the executive order, which was partially blocked by a Clinton-appointed Judge last month after leftist nonprofits and Democrats sued, Hamadeh told The Gateway Pundit:
I think his executive order was fantastic. I believe, after reconciliation is done, you know, in the next few weeks, once that bill pushes through, that’s going to be my main focus And I’m going to round up the support with my colleagues because if we don’t solve elections this year, we’re going to be heading into the midterms with the same systems in place that allowed Act Blue to manipulate and have corruption within the donation systems, and also the voting systems if we keep this. If we don’t change, Marc Elias, all these Democrat attorneys, they now know the playbook, right?
2024 was too big to rig. We shouldn’t be operating like that. We should be operating off a free and fair and honest election system. And what we have to do in Congress– we have the power right now. The American people gave us– they’ve entrusted us with that. So, we have to codify Trump’s executive orders. We have to look at making sure that some of these states and counties are not going rogue because that’s how the left does it. They go after the county recorder’s office, they manipulate the machines, they manipulate the ballot processing, they manipulate the mail-in ballots.
And getting the entire conference to understand, the Republican conference here to understand, just because your state may operate elections well doesn’t mean other states do because some states don’t have even mail-in voting. But Arizona, West Coast states– Arizona is 70 or 80% mail-in voting. Other states are 100% mail-in; some of them have 0%. So, we have to make sure that they have the right messaging and the right communication.
He further responded to the Arizona Democrats, including the Secretary of State, who plan to defy this law, comparing their “defiance of the federal government” to the Democratic judges in Wisconsin and New Mexico who were arrested for shielding and harboring illegal alien gang members:
I will choose Tom Homan over Adrian Fontes any day, and you see what President Trump and the administration has done by enforcing the law. They’ve arrested judges. I mean, one judge in New Mexico is harboring a Tren de Aragua cartel member. How is that not front-page news every day? Literally, a judge in a black robe was harboring a Tren de Aragua cartel member in his own home. In Wisconsin, you saw what happened with that judge who was helping facilitate this illegal immigrant to escape federal law enforcement authority.
Not just Fontes– Mayes, the illegitimate Attorney General, has teamed up with these far left AGs and opened up the most lawsuits against President Trump. They’re in defiance of the federal government, which I predicted, by the way, that was going to happen… We are in an ideological war, [and] I think people should wake up to that fast.
Hamadeh defended his VOTE Act, which aligns with President Trump’s executive order designating English as the official language of the United States by requiring ballots to be printed only in English. When asked about potential criticisms from race-obsessed Democrats, he stated:
I’m the son of immigrants, and in order to become a citizen of our country, you have to attest that you speak English and that you’ve learned English. And so why have only one [other] language, Spanish, on ballots? There’s other immigrants who are Chinese or Indian or wherever. We don’t create ballots with other languages. We are one country with one heritage, with one culture. Yes, we’re, we’re melting pot, of course, but we get the best of all worlds, and the best is to be an American citizen. What that requires is assimilation.
And I think it’s patronizing, by the way, to assume that these people would only vote in Spanish. If they’re only voting in Spanish, there’s a problem with that because to be an American citizen, you literally have to understand English. So, I think it’s a common sense proposal. The American people also agree with that. I mean, there should not be exceptions to it. We have English as the official language, as President Trump has designated through executive order, and my bill enshrines that within our Federal Voting as well.
We also discussed Hamadeh’s Ranked Choice Voting Corruption Act, which he argues will stop special interests, establishment candidates, and Democrats from destroying American Democracy with the undemocratic scam of ranked choice voting:
I’ve spoken to President Trump about the Ranked Choice Voting Act, and I know he is excited. That’s a statement he put out on Truth Social himself. And Ranked Choice voting, as we saw, was so disastrous; I mean, we saw it in Alaska, the problems there. So, I was proud to partner up with Congressman Nick Begich because he’s from Alaska, and so he could see firsthand the effects of ranked choice voting corruption. That was the only state that kept ranked choice voting, by the way, in 2024 by 700 votes– that was the margin, I think, because there was confusing messaging around it.
But, so far, every state that has proposed ranked-choice voting has defeated it at the state level. But it’s increasing; the number of special interests trying to implement ranked-choice voting is concerning. And it’s because they’ve lost control over the party system. The Republican Party has turned into the America First Republican Party, and so you’re seeing these corporate interests that are trying to transform and blow up our attendance of Democracy, essentially, because they can no longer win elections.
Now that the House of Representatives has passed the One Big Beautiful Bill, we can expect to see these bills move forward to a vote in the coming weeks.
The Gateway Pundit will continue to provide updates on election reform efforts by the Trump Administration and GOP-controlled Congress.
