A general election update with three top Maricopa County officials is being moved to a larger facility to accommodate the number of people who want to attend.

The Tuesday, Nov. 1, County Coffee session with Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates, Sheriff Paul Penzone and Recorder Stephen Richer is being moved from a Scottsdale restaurant to the Shadow Mountain Senior Center, 3546 E. Sweetwater Ave., in Phoenix to accommodate the audience, according to a release from Gates’ office.

Maricopa County officials are concerned about the 2022 mid-term election because of lies that the results of the 2020 election were not valid.

As an example of that concern, Penzone stepped up security around ballot drop boxes this week after a series of incidents involving people keeping watch on the boxes and taking video of voters after they were apparently inspired by the lies about the 2020 election.

Those interested in attending the Nov. 1 meeting should RSVP by emailing district3@maricopa.gov by Monday, Oct. 31.
