With just over two weeks to go before Election Day, concerns about voter integrity remain on the minds of Republicans, including Arizona Congressional candidate Abe Hamadeh (R), who discussed the Grand Canyon State's election integrity laws that he declared were "a mess" yet expressed optimism in the turnout of Republican voters making it "too big to rig" in a recent appearance on Danielle D'Souza Gill's podcast.

When D'Souza Gill asked about Arizona's election integrity laws and if any improvements have been made, Hamadeh said, "It has gotten worse."
"And the reason why is because we have a Democrat Secretary of State, and we also have the same people who ran the disastrous election of 2022 in charge," Hamadeh added.
For example, he described how the Arizona Supreme Court ruled in September that 98,000 voters with unverified citizenship would be permitted to vote in the upcoming election. Hamadeh said this was evidence that "we do not have a system in place," which "truly shows you the incompetence of government."
However, the former Army Captain said enthusiasm for former President Donald Trump and other Republicans would drive enough turnout to prevent supposed rigging and theft of the election.
"Believe me, I fought the deep corruption here in Arizona during my primary race. They tried to take me out with other candidates, they put $10 million against us, and we only had $1.4 million, and we were able to beat it. We were able to beat the cheat," Hamadeh continued.
He said November would be no different, as "President Trump has inspired so many people that this is the fight for our lives, and that is why it is going to be too big to rig. You are going to have rural Arizona coming out in droves [and] people in Maricopa County, everybody is just wide awake to it."
"So although the problems are not fixed, and I hope that when I am in Congress with President Trump in the White House and with Kari Lake in the U.S. Senate, I believe we are going to tackle election integrity at the federal level. But right now, we have to do our part as Americans and honor every single veteran who served, and go out and vote, and make sure we save this great republic," Hamadeh concluded.
