Cavanaugh: “I won the Sheriff’s Race”
SBINSIDER SOURCES| August 24th, 2024
At the August 21st Board of Supervisors meeting Kevin Cavanaugh claims he did not lose the recent primary election. He has proclaimed that “statistical anomalies” between the early ballots and day-of-voting totals reveal that his election was rigged against him. He also claims several other Supervisor races were the opposite of the verified totals. Ross Teeple got 31,600 votes to Cavanaugh’s 14,431-it was not close.
In the meeting Cavanaugh said:
“Once our report is finished. I’ll be traveling to show people the problems we found in the primary throughout the district,” Kevin Cavanaugh, R-Coolidge, said at Wednesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting. “So folks can challenge me on the math, challenge me on anything, but I want to show you how we arrived at the conclusions we did.
“A week or so ago I delivered a preliminary report to the board that showed clear evidence, mathematical evidence, of cheating, of changing vote totals in the Pinal County primary election.”
While Cavanaugh has options to pursue a challenge to the election, he is likely to take a different path.

Cavanaugh Files for Recorder!
In an email communication with the Elections Office, he asked that he be placed on the November ballot as a write-in candidate for County Recorder-challenging current Recorder Dana Lewis.
This is a very long shot process for Cavanaugh as that would mean his supporters would have to fill in the ballot with his name by hand.
In any case, the real goal of Cavanaugh is to keep his name in the spotlight as he craves attention for his “crusade” against “corruption” in Pinal County, despite the fact that he has put forth zero evidence of any real problems. But, apparently about 20% of Pinal Republican primary voters think Cavanaugh is the sole keeper of the truth as they voted for him and his donors keep him going-up to now.
