      This Trump supporter is an Arizona native and when she found out her state was going blue, drove home early from her Vegas vacation because she was convinced there was fraud. “I don’t believe it,” she says. “There’s no way this state is blue”pic.twitter.com/3axYz6P3IB

      Back at the Maricopa counting center, where Charlie Kirk is set to speak. He’s part of a network of high-profile right-wing figures who jumped in and helped spread the Stop the Steal/Protect the Vote campaign across the country.

      Eva Mayo represents a lot of Trump supporters with her distrust of of government and democratic systems. She said this has made her question whether any election “was really fair,” and brought up Romney When I asked about Trump’s win in 2016 though, she said that was legitpic.twitter.com/UaLrzCfetF

          One thing I keep hearing from Trump supporters here is that this is a massive “patriot movement” born from many regional and local groups that do their own thing but have been congealing together more and more “It’s a grassroots of different groups,” Alan Nichols of Tucson saidpic.twitter.com/JJoLDGgxZ3
