AZ Political Podcast: Bill Gates on new teaching gig, election fraud
On this week's edition of AZ Political Podcast, former Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates dishes on his new teaching gig, election fraud.
PHOENIX — My guest on this week’s AZ Political Podcast is the only person to whom I have ever lost an election: former Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates. (It’s an odd story that you’ll have to watch the podcast to understand.)
What’s even more interesting, though, is Professor (yes, Professor!) Gates’ new focus: teaching political science at ASU and heading up the university’s Mechanics of Democracy Laboratory — where they hope to prepare the next generation of election workers. Prepare them to deal with America’s changing electoral landscape and maybe even how to deal with the people who don’t trust elections.
Speaking of which, we discuss some of what Gates went through following the 2020 and 2022 elections when his family and he were threatened and how it almost became commonplace to have Republicans tell him behind closed doors that they knew what they were saying in public about “stolen elections“ wasn’t true.
And how others who knew lies were being told, never stood up for the truth.
Those depressing examples of shameful leadership might be why Bill Gates will never return to elective public office. And that’s too bad – because I was relishing the possibility of a rematch.

Went from rigging elections to poisoning the minds of young people to rig future elections.
Not buying his claims about Reps.
Looks like the new board may do a complete thorough audit of the entire election system. This should result in eliminating any possibility of cheating, something the left refuses to do.
Trump will put a stop to this soon enough. No teaching anything that doesn’t support the regime and their propaganda
There is a difference between "voter fraud" and "election fraud", one is done by voters, the other by anyone. And don't confuse fraud with rigging. MSM, social media, the FBI, 51 security experts, etc all helped influence/rig the election.
Don't be silly, the right did not commit "massive voter fraud" in 2020, that's ridiculous.
