State Rep. Walt Blackman (R-Snowflake), a U.S. Army veteran, introduced legislation earlier this month to strengthen laws against impersonating a veteran for gain, known as stolen valor. The “Master Sergeant Orlando Dona Valor Act” is being introduced in honor of Orlando Jose Dona, MSgt, United States Air Force (Retired), who passed away last June at 91. His son, Jack Dona, MSG, U.S. Army (Retired), leads The CONELRAD Group, a team of mostly former intelligence and military officers located primarily in southern Arizona that investigates illegal election activity.

The younger Dona told The Arizona Sun Times, “It is a great honor to our family to have the Arizona Legislature name this bill in honor of my father. On 17 April, 1949, at the age of 16, Dad immigrated here to the United States from the Panama Canal Zone. From the moment he disembarked at the port of San Francisco, he embraced this nation with all his heart, and dedicated his life to service to the country, first in the military, and then in academics as a computer engineer for different university school systems. From the moment he set foot on U.S. Soil, Dad was 100 percent an American at heart.”

A new report investigating Pima County’s 2020 and 2022 elections found multiple ways the Tucson-based county is likely violating the law, allowing opportunities for election tampering. The illegalities were described as “malfeasance, incompetence and possible criminal activity.”

The report came out about the same time as another report which found that over 18,000 ballots lacked chain of custody records in the county’s 2022 election. Coincidentally in the same election cycle, Katie Hobbs edged out Kari Lake for the Governor’s office by just 17,117 votes.

The Pima Integrity Project and CONELRAD Group Expose ‘Malfeasance,’ ‘Maladministration’ and Possible RICO Violations in Pima County’s Recent Elections

The CONELRAD Group, a team of mostly former intelligence and military officers located primarily in southern Arizona that exposed what it believes is malfeasance in Pinal County’s 2022 election, has teamed up with the Pima Integrity Project (PIP) to expose similar malfeasance in Pima County’s elections. Led by database expert Tim Laux, the group of election researchers in PIP said it believes it found doctored canvassing reports and large numbers of newly registered voters who voted before they were eligible, among other illegal activities.

Jack Dona of CONELRAD told The Arizona Sun Times the findings could rise to the level of criminal racketeering. Dona holds 43 intelligence and technical certifications and diplomas from civilian colleges, technical schools, and military academies and served in military intelligence, retiring as a master sergeant/first sergeant.
