Dear friends and fellow Arizonans,
We live in a time when the noise of division drowns out the mechanics of our Republic. Yet, as the speaker in this powerful video reminds us, light is the best disinfectant. Truth stands in the public record, waiting for those with eyes to see and courage to act. Guided by faith and a passion for righteousness, It Is Our Duty turns to Scripture and principle: “Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream” (Amos 5:24). Our elected officials, particularly the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, bear a solemn responsibility before God and the people to uphold lawful contracts and ensure elections reflect integrity, not convenience.

The Foundation: Elections as Enforceable Contracts
Every regulated industry in America operates under clear contracts that define standards, measurement, and remedies for failure. Arizona’s election vendor contracts are no different — they are signed, public, and enforceable. Yet the video lays bare documented failures where this bridge has collapsed.
Imagine a building inspector who identifies life-threatening flaws but files no report, issues no corrective action plan (CAP), and allows the structure to reopen unchanged. That is the dangerous reality exposed in Maricopa County’s election administration. The 2018 Service Level Agreement (SLA) explicitly requires the County to monitor vendor performance and initiate corrective action when deficiencies arise — language repeated across multiple clauses.
The breach is clear: No formal CAP was initiated after the 2020 election despite known operational failures. Public records requests confirm these documents do not exist. Even the Arizona Auditor General’s single audit (March 2026) noted that the County’s responses and corrective actions were not subjected to proper auditing procedures. In plain terms, the County has been grading its own papers.
This is not mere oversight. It is a failure of stewardship. As stewards of the public trust, our Board of Supervisors must answer: Have the terms of these vendor contracts been honored, or have they been treated as suggestions rather than binding obligations?
No Referees on the Court
The video offers another vivid analogy: a professional basketball game with teams, a scoreboard, and broadcast — but no referees. Fouls go uncalled. Violations are ignored. One side claims victory with no mechanism to verify the outcome.
This mirrors our election contracts without meaningful compliance review. The 2018 SLA carried forward through multiple cycles, yet despite repeated public concerns, there were zero documented enforcement actions. The referees were present on paper, but the whistle never blew. No penalties. No escalation.
Scripture warns us against such partiality and neglect: “You shall do no injustice in judgment… You shall have just balances” (Leviticus 19:35-36). When contracts lack enforcement, the people lose confidence in the entire system. The consequence is a scoreboard that reflects administrative absence rather than electoral integrity.
Version Control and the Rule of Law
A contract functions only when both parties understand its clear, auditable terms. Undated changes, conflicting versions, and missing revision logs render it void — a mere stack of paper. The video highlights visual inconsistencies in the filed SLA, including strikethroughs without approval chains, particularly around disaster recovery language. Which version governed the elections? The County cannot reliably say.
This undermines the very foundation of consent of the governed. Arizona’s Constitution declares that all political power is inherent in and derived from the people. That power has not been revoked — it has been under-exercised.
A Righteous Call to Action for the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors
Chairmen and members of the Board possess statutory authority to demand answers in writing:
- Has a formal, externally verified corrective action plan been conducted for every vendor contract across the last four election cycles?
- Produce the full dated version history of the SLAs, or admit on the record which version was actually in effect.
A “No” or failure to produce documentation becomes a matter of public record. We must enforce referees on the floor — third-party verified processes that name problems, document fixes, set deadlines, and confirm completion independent of the very parties who failed.
Friends, this is not partisan. It is contractual, constitutional, and moral. As people of faith, we are called to stand in the public square for truth and justice. “Do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God” (Micah 6:8).
What You Can Do:
- Contact your Maricopa County Supervisors and urge them to exercise their authority for full transparency and corrective action.
- Share this video and demand public records.
- Pray for righteous leadership that fears God more than political pressure.
- Support efforts to restore verifiable integrity to our elections.
