Author Nancy Hicks Marshall Announces Book on Arizona Officials Who Certified 2020 Election

Bestselling, award-winning author Nancy Hicks Marshall has announced a new book titled 'Six Who Stopped The Steal,' focusing on six men in Maricopa County, Arizona, who certified the valid results of the 2020 presidential election. The book launch coincides with a press conference scheduled for January 6, 2026, outside the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Auditorium in Phoenix, described as a call to restore respect for elected officials who follow their conscience and the law. Among those invited to speak at the event are Adrian Fontes, current Secretary of State of Arizona and former Maricopa County Recorder; Stephen Richer, former County Recorder; and Steven Gallardo, a current member of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors and one of the six individuals profiled.

The 2020 election, noted as one of the best-run and most heavily scrutinized in U.S. history, delivered a victory for presidential candidate Joe Biden over then-President Donald J. Trump, with independent audits verifying the results. Despite evidence to the contrary, Trump and his allies decried the process and declared him the winner, calling for action to 'Stop the Steal.' On November 20, 2020, five men certified the valid election results, with others in the Arizona House and Senate preventing an illegal reversal, actions Marshall's book characterizes as upholding the Constitution, law, and integrity. The narrative explores the personal backgrounds of these six men, detailing moments in their youth that shaped their integrity and the threats they faced for their decisions.

Marshall, a multiple award-winning author, brings a unique perspective to the story, having previously defended activists unconstitutionally arrested in the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors auditorium in 2009, an experience that inspired her novel 'A Dry Hate.' Shocked by the treatment of these six men—only one of whom is a Democrat—by fellow Republicans in 2021, she embarked on research to uncover their inside story. The book delves into the chaotic context of 2020, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the aftermath of George Floyd's death, while examining what Marshall terms 'monsters' that cause people to reject undeniable evidence. It also provides a clear description of the election process, aiming to demystify its complexity.

Early endorsements praise the book for showcasing the elaborate steps that prevent fraud in elections and honoring the six men as 'true patriots' and 'Arizona leaders who stood their ground.' Marshall cites related works for further understanding, such as 'The God of Monkey Science' on science denial, 'The Big Truth' for an academic perspective, and Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Emperor's New Clothes' as a reminder of truth perception. The ebook version will be available for $.99 through January 6, 2026, on Amazon.com. More information about the author and her work can be found at her website, https://NuggetPress.com.
