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 legit

And in this is where we are today: This guy kept interrupting Alex Jones bc he was upset that the conspiracy theorist wouldn’t admit that the earth was flat. Then Jones’ fans got upset bc they couldn’t hear his speech about baseless other fraud theories

Trump supporters here in Maricopa have been heckling the media because they believe they’re hiding ballots in their cars, especially since the license plates are from out of state (bc they’re rentals)
“I’m tired of being nice,” one guy shouts

They’ve also been freaking out over big trucks driving by, like this Enterprise one. This woman says she’s been filming them going by bc she believes, without evidence, that they’re moving ballots.

The crowd outside the Maricopa counting center thinned significantly by this evening, leaving a unique assortment of attendees, including a couple who arrived with a flute and pipe to help cleanse the bad news vibes from the area

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 said

I am back at the Maricopa voting center, where hundreds of Trump supporters are still here congregating.
A group of Biden supporters are across the street and have been chanting and cheering.
I walked up right as this heated exchange unfolded
This group of Latina women have been yelling back and forth with Trump supporters for about 30 minutes, Itzel said.
The 20-year-old has been confronting them about not wearing masks and supporting a racist president

Things have escalated quickly here. Trump supporters keep coming over and have surrounded the small group of younger Latina women. They’re 17-20 years old and groups are screaming at each other about racism and the future of this country

Right-wing figures like Baked Alaska and Catboy Kami are instigating and inflaming this situation. Some armed Boogloo boys have also crossed over and are watching

The tense conversations started between a few Trump supporters and the Biden group, focusing on COVID, why this group was waving a Mexican flag, and conspiracy theories about Biden being a pedophile

More snippets of the clash between the young Latina group of Biden supporters and Trump supporters, which were partly inflamed by right-wing social media personalities

Police were not getting involved. This armed Trump supporter said he and several others were working as volunteer private security and came over to ensure the young Biden group were safe, and they did. He said police couldn’t get involved because there were no acts of aggression

Other Trump supporters, including Q wolf, came over to try and de-escalate the clash and pull the confrontational right-wingers back across the street

After things calmed down a little bit Itzel and the other young women said the experience was scary and sad, but they were not about to back down, get intimidated, or stop speaking their minds bc they were standing up for their immigrant parents, who Trump tried to get rid of

Feeling victorious, they erupted into a “No More Years!” chant and danced

The young Latina women say they’re not her protesting, they’re “celebrating”
“Four years ago they told us to deal with it. We dealt with it. Now it’s their turn”

Swung by the Maricopa voting center on my way out of Phoenix this morning. Not a Trump flag or supporter in sight. What a difference 24 hrs makes

Watching these young Latina women stand their ground during the intense, often vitriolic clash with Trump supporters was something
They'd spent the last 4 years staying quiet, out of fear. Now, they're not scared anymore
And they have a lot to say
