    A temporary election worker in Maricopa County was arrested Friday after allegedly stealing keys and a security fob that can be used to gain access to the county’s ballot tabulation machines.

    With just a week to go before mail ballots go out, Maricopa County detectives charged Walter Ringfield Jr., a 27-year-old Phoenix resident, with one count of theft and one count of criminal damage, after they say he took a lanyard with the fob and keys attached while working in the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center. He is in custody and won’t be released unless a court order allows, according to court documents.

    County staff noticed on Friday morning that the lanyard was missing, according to the county’s statement. The lanyard had a plastic key on it as well as the security fob, which workers use to gain access to the machines to program them. The workers hold the fob to the tabulators, and then enter a password before getting access.

    County workers watched surveillance video from Thursday evening and saw Ringfield put the red wrist lanyard containing the key and fob into the right pocket of his shorts while he was working in the tabulation center, according to the detectives’ report from his arrest.






    This story at least, from a source of unproven reliability, says his social media postings show that he is a Trump supporter
