Frustrated by the time it takes for Arizona to deliver election results, Valley resident Rob Schneider has hinted that he may run for governor in the future.
The Saturday Night Live alumnus and star "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo" posted on X on Nov. 4 in response to Assistant Maricopa County Manager Zach Schira stating that full election results could take a few days to announce:
"DEAR Assistant County Manager Zach Schira, As a resident of the great State of Arizona and more importantly a United States Citizen, WAITING DAYS FOR THE RESULTS OF THE ELECTION IN MARICOPA COUNTY IS UNACCEPTABLE. We are NOT some BANANA REPUBLIC, WE ARE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I will do EVERYTHING in my power to have ELECTION OFFICIALS THIS NEXT ELECTION CYCLE THAT CAN COUNT ALL BALLOTS BY THE END OF THE SAME DAY OF VOTING. Even if I have to run and become Governor myself."
Maricopa County Supervisor Thomas Galvin responded on X, writing, "Rob, thanks for watching the press conference. Maricopa County expects 400,000 ballot envelopes will be dropped off today. Those have to be verified, opened, & then 800,000 pages will be fed into tabulators. We have room if you want to help, Rob. You can do it!"
Schneider is an outspoken supporter of the Republican Party and the MAGA movement. He appeared at Turning Point USA's 2023's AmericaFest event in Phoenix and, in September, released "You Can Do It!: Speak Your Mind, America," a book that is half-memoir, half-screed that purports to illustrate "Schneider's points about free expression with provocative commentary on things you aren’t supposed to question."
