Election deniers seem to believe that residency requirements don't apply to them

First, election denier and stone bigot State Senator Wendy Rogers  objected to a reporter asking her where she actually lives.  She ultimately got slapped down for her trouble, but the die was cast.

Now, former legislator Mark Finchem may be following her example.

Filings show Mark Finchem might run for Maricopa County recorder

It appears former state lawmaker and election denier Mark Finchem is gearing up to run for Maricopa County recorder. County filings show he requested a candidate packet for the 2024 election, but Finchem has not confirmed he is running. Finchem most recently lost the race for Secretary of State by more than 100 thousand votes and refused to concede.

“He is a particular brand of Republican that is a conspiracy theorist about the last election cycle and a diehard Trump supporter,” said Chuck Coughlin, a political consultant and CEO of Highground Inc.

Problem: Oro Valley is actually in *Pima* County.









According to the website of the Maricopa County Recorder, Finchem hasn't formed a committee for a run.
