By Yvonne Wingett Sanchez
PHOENIX — An elections director who for years confronted death threats, professional attacks and election denialism in a rural Arizona county is resigning, The Washington Post has learned, joining the ranks of public officials leaving such posts amid a polarized political environment targeting democratic functions.
Lisa Marra, 59, who has been in charge of elections for five years in Cochise County, a ruby-red jurisdiction in the southeastern corner of the state, issued her intention to leave the post Tuesday through a letter to the county officials. She also serves as the president of Election Officials of Arizona.
A Cochise official said the county could not comment on the “employee matter.”
Behind the scenes after last November’s midterm elections, Marra played a lead role in trying to convince the GOP-led county board to follow state law and certify the election results as conspiracies over Republican losses took hold. The delay threatened to upend the state’s process for affirming the will of more than 2.5 million voters. Eventually, the board certified the results after a court order, becoming the last Arizona jurisdiction to do so.
In the letter, Marra’s attorney cited an “outrageous and physically and emotionally threatening” working atmosphere as well as “objectively difficult and unpleasant working conditions” that included public disparagement as well as legal action filed against her personally by two Republican supervisors.
Marra’s attorney wrote the board has also proposed to reorganize election duties that would involve taking away duties from her. Marra was recently told the board plans to hold a meeting in February “where local election deniers will present testimony as ‘experts’ on election security and the use of voting machines,” the letter said.

NAZA documentary: IDF soldiers confess to Gaza killings
Alone at Dawn and NAZA: is the cabal losing its media mastery?
NAZA is a 2026 documentary directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor that investigates the Israel Defense Forces' (IDF) use of artificial intelligence and automated systems in military targeting during the Gaza war. The film features anonymous testimonies from 24 Israeli soldiers and intelligence officers who describe the systematic mass killing of Palestinian civilians and the dehumanizing protocols used to justify high civilian casualty rates, referred to in the film by the Hebrew acronym NAZA (Nezek Agavi) for collateral damage.
The documentary has sparked intense controversy and political backlash in Israel, where it has not been theatrically released. Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Culture Minister Miki Zohar, have condemned the film as treasonous, with some calling for the filmmakers' citizenship to be revoked. The IDF has issued a formal response calling the movie distorted, misleading, and disingenuous, denying claims of genocidal intent or...

CIA Color Revolution After Midterms?
Jeff here. The playbook the CIA runs abroad doesn't stay abroad. Color revolutions, engineered chaos, destabilization on command — I watched it work overseas for years. Now watch the calendar. After the midterms is when the machinery turns inward.
France is already burning. Notre Dame's arson wasn't a one-off; it's a symptom. Italy's PM is deploying hundreds of troops to restore order on her own streets. This is what a civilization looks like when it stops being good — because it stopped being Godly. Western greatness was Christendom's fruit. Pull the root, you get the flames.
None of this is coincidental. All of it is by design. On today's briefing I connect Paris, Rome, Tehran, Panama, and Washington. Isaiah 6:8.
