A group of lawyers with ties to the Republican Party made efforts over the weekend to assist independent presidential candidate Cornel West in getting on the Arizona ballot. This highlights the GOP's involvement in supporting West's unlikely bid for the presidency. As a deadline approached for submitting necessary paperwork, it was discovered that two potential electors, Jerry Judie and Denisha Mitchell, were no longer interested in participating. This led to a flurry of communication in an attempt to salvage the situation.
Republican lawyers visited the homes of Judie and Mitchell after their decisions, seemingly trying to persuade them to reconsider. This activity is part of a broader strategy by conservative activists and Republican operatives to promote West's candidacy and potentially disrupt the electoral process leading up to the presidential election in November.
